Arturia AudioFuse Studio interface

Versatile desktop interface

Flexible, adaptable 18-in, 20-out audio interface with vast connectivity, powerful features, top-tier sound quality and a focus on creative workflow.

The quality you deserve

When your diary is filling up with sessions and your clients need you to deliver, you need equipment you can trust. AudioFuse Studio ticks all the boxes.

Superb preamps, rock-solid performance, low latency, dozens of incredibly useful “just in case” features like a built-in phono preamp for vinyl sampling, Bluetooth streaming to your monitors or a channel in your DAW, awesome USB-C, ADAT, MIDI, and Word Clock connectivity, robust build, and even a handy protective cover to keep it dust and scratch-free.

AudioFuse Studio gives you 4 of our legendary Discrete Pro© preamps to track your music, and a superb analog signal path that will reveal every nuance of your audio. The super-low Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) lets you capture every subtle detail, while the huge 72dB input gain gives you enough gain to drive even the quietest ribbon mic. Everything is also capture with a practically perfect flat frequency response, too.

Enhancing the way you actually make music

Fed up of using studio equipment that forces you down a certain creative path? We were too, that’s why we made AudioFuse Studio. Listen to music, or track ideas straight from a phone to your DAW with a high quality Bluetooth receiver. Use the DC-coupled outputs to control parameters of your modular synths. The possibilities are limitless.

Every connection features the best components on the market, giving you perfectly transparent analog-digital conversion, practically non-existent noise on the preamps, even when fully cranked, loads of gain to make even the quietest mics shine, and a silky-smooth, audiophile listening experience.

Compatibility with all platforms

Professional and flexible, the AudioFuserange can work with any system, whether on PC or Mac. No matter your device, AudioFuse brings your musical world together and keeps everything simple.

Plug & Play & No specific drivers

While you can go “under the hood” and get more out of our AudioFuse range with the AudioFuse Control Center, you can also use its basic functions straight out of the box. We made the decision to use generic drivers and universal USB-C to ensure you're always ready to record.

Low Latency

AudioFuse features exceptionally low latency as low as 3ms depending on your set-up, with a frequently measured value of 4.5ms on a wide range of computers. This lets you get right in the pocket of your groove when tracking, and makes for an immediate, tactile feel when performing.

Expandability

Our AudioFuse range can be connected together in a variety of ways, cascading their inputs and outputs, and hugely expanding the scope and capability of your setup. Record more sources, send signals to more destinations, the creative possibilities are awesome.

USB-C

AudioFuse Studio and AudioFuse 8Pre use the contemporary USB-C connection for its great latency, superb bandwidth, and backward USB2 compatibility. Now you can record anywhere, in any studio or creative space, safe in the knowledge your gear will simply work.
