ARTURIA AUDIOFUSE STUDIO

Versatile Desktop Interface
The Arturia AudioFuse Studio is a flexible, adaptable 18-in, 20-out audio interface that combines hugely powerful features, with top-tier sound quality and a focus on creative workflow. When you’re ready to take the next step with the quality of your studio products, AudioFuse Studio will be ready for you.

Today, you’re tracking a string quartet for an independent film. Tomorrow you’re running a vocal session for your band, and in the evening you’re gigging. At the weekend, you’re mastering your client’s new album, and somewhere in the middle of all that you’re going to find time to sketch out ideas for your new side project.

Sounds like you need a recording interface that will keep up with your creativity; an interface that can handle every scenario; an interface that won’t let you down.

This is AudioFuse Studio.

World-class preamps
Our whole AudioFuse range uses our exclusive DiscretePRO© microphone preamps with fully independent Mic/Line circuits.

AudioFuse Studio features 4 of these pristine preamps, and their specs are outstanding. Almost 120dB of dynamic range, less than -129dBu input noise, a +/-0.02dB flat frequency response, but what does all this mean in practice?

Our DiscretePRO preamps don't add any unwanted artefacts into your sound. After all, you want to hear your instrument, not your interface. AudioFuse Studio has crystal clear, transparent sound at every stage. Recording some delicate? Crank your gain, safe in the knowledge that you won't add any hiss or noise to your recording.

You can always add color to your sound later using the included AudioFuse Creative Suite, a collection of perfectly emulated signal processing from iconic, vintage studio consoles and synths.

Simply put, it means your interface will handle any challenge you throw at it.

21st century features
AudioFuse Studio also features 4 additional line-level inputs on the rear panel so you can hook up more synths or drum machines.

Two of those can also be used as a dedicated phono input with integrated RIAA preamp, letting you listen to or sample vinyl straight from your turntable.

Reamping
Two dedicated “reamp” outputs let you get creative with your guitars. Hook up your favorite guitar or bass, feed the duplicate signal from one of the reamp outputs to your amp of choice, mic it up, and simultaneously track your dry signal and the sound from your amplifier.

You can even use the dedicated Reamp outputs to add valve amp distortion to your drum tracks, vocals, or anything you like! Get perfect tone with every take.

Bluetooth
AudioFuse Studio features built-in Bluetooth streaming. Enjoy streaming music from your phone to your studio monitors in your down time or when you’re entertaining. Let your clients easily share their ideas for tracks, just ask them to stream it, and track it in your DAW.

Using Bluetooth for streaming audio is fast, convenient, but it isn’t usually great quality. This is where AudioFuse Studio is unique. We’ve integrated the best AAC codec and highest quality aptX connections available on the market, so you don’t have to sacrifice quality for convenience.

Compatibility with all platforms
Professional and flexible, the AudioFuserange can work with any system, whether on PC, Mac, or Linux. When you need to record on-location and capture those moments of inspiration, connect to iOS and Android. 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.

Powerful, versatile inputs
AudioFuse Studio features 8 analog input channels. These aren’t just any inputs, these are our exclusive, award-winning DiscretePRO© microphone and instrument preamps.

The 4 front-loading inputs feature a combi-jack connection, so can be used either for microphones or line-level instruments. Each of these channels provides an astounding level of noiseless gain, as well as switchable attenuators. This means you can use practically any source for your audio, from hot line signals all the way to low output vintage mics without any external processing.
