The M-Track 2X2M connects to your Mac or PC via a standard USB or USB-C port using one of the two included cables. This premium Hi-Speed USB connection and USB/Direct blend knob enable you to have zero-latency monitoring of your inputs, making the recording process easier than ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a power supply?

The M-Track 2X2M is USB hub-powered meaning that it is powered simply by connecting it to your computer with the included USB cable.  No additional power connections are necessary.

Do I need a driver to use the M-Track 2X2M?

For a Windows operating system, the M-Track 2X2M requires the installation of drivers to ensure the best possible performance. For Mac operating systems, the M-Track 2X2 is class-compliant and does not require a driver installation.

What sample rates does the M-Track 2X2M support?

The M-Track 2X2M supports up to 24-bit and 192kHz studio quality sample rates to capture every nuance and subtlety of your performance.

The instrument input is not working. Why not?

First, ensure that the USB / DIRECT knob is not all the way to one side or the other. In most cases, you will want a blend of direct sound and audio from your computer.

Next, in your preferred Digital Audio Workstation, set the track that you are attempting to play/record into to channel 2. Most DAWs default to channel 1 and the instrument channel on the M-Track 2X2M is set to send on channel 2.

If you continue to have difficulty, reach out to M-Audio support for additional assistance.

What is the difference between the M-Track 2X2 and the M-Track 2X2M?

The main difference between the M-Track 2X2 and the M-Track 2X2M is that the M-Track 2X2M features a 5-pin DIN MIDI input and output along with the high-quality audio inputs and outputs.

I connected to input 1 on the front and input 1 on the rear but I only hear the front input. Is this normal?

For both inputs 1 and 2, the priority is the front input.  If connecting to both the front and rear inputs on the same channel, only the front input will pass through.
