Arturia AudioFuse 16Rig USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface

The ultimate studio centerpiece for connecting an entire synth studio, complex live-audio routing, and advanced DAW recording, the Arturia AudioFuse 16Rig is a 32-in / 28-out USB-C audio / MIDI interface that lets you leave everything connected, route anything to anything, and be more creative with your projects. Either rackmounted or on a desktop, the interface provides extensive rear I/O connections for your equipment while leaving the front panel open for additional microphones, instruments, music players, or USB devices. Featuring premium 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters and Wordclock I/O, AudioFuse 16Rig lets you record synths, guitars, vocals, or a combination of inputs with high-quality audio, and monitor your sound accuratelyall perfectly in sync.



Equipped with two, low-latency internal MIDI-controllable DSP mixers, AudioFuse 16Rig can function as a standalone mixer, allowing for DAWless recording, live mixing, and intricate audio routing without the need for a computer. The included AudioFuse Control Center software provides a powerful matrix for quick and flexible configuration of any type of connection to suit any need, including multiple sends/returns, A/B speaker monitoring, and more. Save your configurations and mix settings as presets, control modular synths with DC-coupled outputs, use the Reamp feature for versatile guitar tracking, and connect multiple USB devices with class-compliant connections.
