Engineered For The Discriminating Ear
Consistent & ReliableThe MicroBook II has been designed with the award-winning MOTU technology they’re known for, providing you with the same uncompromising audio quality and reliable performance that got them a well-deserved reputation.
Consistent, reliable recording and mixing is at hand, even in most complicated professional recording situations, with decades of engineering experience on your side. The MicroBook II offers high audio specifications you usually find at more of a cost.
A Complete Solution
Everything You NeedAlso featuring simultaneous inputs for a microphone, a guitar, and a keyboard and a stereo line level device. The mic preamp provides neutral coloration and crystal-clear sound, with 20 dB pad and 48V phantom power for condenser mics, with programmable outputs with multiple monitoring options.
Practical & Powerful
Ultra-Compact SizeThe MicroBook II is an impressively small size of 5.5 by 3.6 by 1.25 inches, so it can easily slide into a backpack or large pocket. It also sits nicely next to your laptop or desktop computer.
High-Speed USB 2.0The MicroBook II can record and play all channels simultaneously, and high-speed USB 2.0 offers plenty of bandwidth, even at 96 kHz.
Flexible Volume Control
Push & Turn Digital EncodersThe two digital rotary encoders look good as well as feel good. Just hit the volume knob repeatedly to cycle among the main outs, headphones, or both, as shown by the LEDs.
For the mic input, adjust trim and toggle 48V phantom power or the -20 dB pad, making Hhands-on control quick and easy.

Mixing & Effects
Works As An 8-bus Digital MixerThe MicroBook is an 8-bus digital mixer that allows you to mix live inputs with each other, with or without host software tracks. Using CueMix FX on your computer, you can create separate mixes of live audio from your mic, guitar, and keyboard, and send each mix to separate outputs (main out, line out, and phones out) or a combination of all three.

In a world full of cheap plastic, the feeling of the MicroBook's metal casing in your hands is a reassuring reminder that you are holding quality engineering and construction.
