Simply engage the monitor button for each input (and 48V phantom power, if needed) and adjust the preamp gain as needed. Connect the main outs to any line level destination, such as a PA or patch bay.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMOTU Performer Lite\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe MOTU M2 includes Performer Lite software, which provides everything you need to record, edit, mix, process and master your own music tracks quickly and easily. .
