MOTU MicroBook IIc audio interface

With the MicroBook IIc, you can record a microphone, a guitar and a keyboard (or another line-level device) simultaneously. The microphone preamp delivers a neutral and crystal-clear sound with a 20 dB attenuation function and 48 V phantom power for condenser microphones. The programmable outputs allow for flexible monitoring functions.

Take it wherever you want

The MicroBook IIc impresses with its remarkably compact dimensions of just 14 cm x 3 cm x 9 cm (length x height x width). It therefore fits comfortably into any laptop bag and sits elegantly next to your computer.

Designed for the discerning ear

The MicroBook IIc delivers uncompromising audio quality, even for the most demanding professional studio recordings. Like all award-winning MOTU FireWire, USB and PCI audio interfaces, the MicroBook IIc incorporates the expertise gained from MOTU’s decades of experience in developing audio interfaces.

High bandwidth – low latency

The MicroBook IIc is capable of recording and playing back via all inputs and outputs simultaneously. USB 2.0 provides sufficient bandwidth for this – even up to 96 kHz.

High-quality audio interface for your iOS music apps

As the ‘c’ in its name suggests, the MicroBook IIc is USB Audio Class Compliant. Use a standard Lightning-to-USB camera adapter (sold separately) to connect the MicroBook IIc to your iPad and enable high-quality recording and monitoring in conjunction with your audio app. Power is supplied via the included USB cable and a mains plug.

Digital control – simply press and turn the knobs

The two digital rotary controls not only look good, they feel good too. Press the volume control repeatedly to adjust the main outputs, the headphones or both – the LED indicators show you the current status. You can also adjust the pre-amplification of the microphone input, as well as activate or deactivate phantom power and the -20 dB attenuation. You have immediate and intuitive access to the MicroBook IIc’s most important parameters at all times.
