Next-Generation Audio Interface
You're making tomorrow's music, so why settle for yesterday's interface? AudioFuse is the revolutionary pro audio interface that sets a new standard in sonic quality, creative production, and value. It fuses the superior sound of high-end analog studio consoles with the flexibility of a solid mobile interface - with all the connectivity you need for any recording or performance.
The Sound
Whatever sound you need to capture, from the most delicate ambience to the heaviest cacophony, AudioFuse will reveal the beauty in everything. Pro studio quality was Arturia's mantra right from the start with AudioFuse. Now you can transform your desktop, hotel room, concert - whatever, wherever - into a studio with world-class sound. No compromises, each element of the AudioFuse has been selected to perfectly serve your sound, such as the two proprietary DiscretePRO microphone preamplifiers and the set of top-notch AD/DA converters. Saving the purity of your sound and the passion it conveys is what AudioFuse is all about.
Creative Flow
When creating and recording, you need an interface that lets you focus on the task at hand and keep distractions to a minimum. With AudioFuse, Arturia didn't want to settle for merely bringing you the sound quality of a pro studio, they wanted to bring you its workflow too. That's why you have detailed metering, talkback for instant communication with talent in the next room, inserts to add professional effects processing to your recording chain, A/B monitor switching, and direct access to the essential features so you can spend more time creating and less time setting up.
Connectivity
Wherever it comes from, whatever it has to travel through, and wherever it needs to go, AudioFuse will guide your sound. AudioFuse connects with virtually everything: mics, instruments, turntables, studio equipment, Mac, PC, tablets, even iOS and Android phones. It all happens with a round-trip latency as low as 3 milliseconds so you'll feel right in the groove every time.
Performance
When you know your equipment is the best of the best, creativity can take care of itself. When it is all about giving the best of yourself being able to rely on the best technologies becomes crucial. The lowest harmonic distortion, the most linear frequency response, the highest signal-to-noise ratio and the shortest latency, these technical terms may seem far removed from your creative process, but they are essential to delivering your music in the highest quality possible.
Quality
Capture the moment at home, in the studio, on the road, or wherever creativity strikes. AudioFuse has a super-solid aluminum chassis you can trust, complete with a hard cover to protect it from damage in your bag or even just dust on your desktop. The build quality goes far beyond a great-looking exterior, as well. Your unit has to pass rigorous testing before it can be packed and shipped. It even comes with a test specification printout of your exact unit. Meet your new best friend for the studio and stage.

Arturia AudioFuse 8Pre 8-Channel USB Audio Studio Recording Interface
Description
Dual Mode Audio Interface
The Arturia AudioFuse 8Pre is a dual-mode interface and ADAT expander which boasts 8 channels of premium analog audio, rock-solid sync, USB-C, and optical connectivity. With our award-winning lineage of pristine analog quality, AudioFuse 8Pre is destined to become the expander of choice in studios and creative spaces around the world.
Peerless quality
When you’re putting your heart and soul into your music and productions, you need to know your audio is in safe hands.
AudioFuse 8Pre offers unrivalled quality at its price point. The 8 DiscretePRO© preamps and analog signal path will let you truly “hear” your audio for the first time. The super-low Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) lets you capture every subtle detail, while the huge input gain will drive even the most demanding low-output mics. All this with a totally flat frequency response for total transparency. The superb quality doesn’t stop there, AudioFuse 8Pre also features the best A/D converters available.
Smart design
Sometimes it’s the little things that matter most. You need your gear to complement and enhance the way you work, and that’s the driving force behind AudioFuse 8Pre.
AudioFuse 8Pre is easy to use, with one-button, one-function design, and features backward-compatible USB-C connectivity for super compatibility. It’s housed in a robust metal chassis, and the included rack ears can be mounted to either face forward or down, letting it stand freely or be integrated into your 19” racks depending on your setup. It also features ADAT in, so you could send your musicians cue mixes using its headphone output.
We’ve spent years working together with studios, producers, and musicians at all levels to minimize the “pain points” other interfaces give you on a daily basis. AudioFuse 8Pre is the result.
AudioFuse Creative Suite
AudioFuse 8Pre comes complete with the AudioFuse Creative Suite, an ever-evolving collection of software effects and instruments that will let you add your own unique signature to your music. Combining favorites from our award-winning “You’ll Actually Use” series with Analog Lab Lite, AudioFuse 8Pre lets you also enjoy legendary signal processing effects and iconic synth sounds. Color the pristine inputs of AudioFuse 8Pre with stunning vintage effects!
