ARTURIA AUDIOFUSE

USB Audio Interface

Most bedroom producers start with an interface like the Scarlett 2i2. It is an excellent starting point, let-ting you monitor and record basic guitars, vocals easily. But as one goes down further into more serious production, you quickly realize the limitations of a beginner interface i.e. Low gain, higher noise floors, and limited connectivity.

BIG THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

This interface was announced first in early 2015 but ended up making it to the market only recently. It fits in your backpack and even has a neat lid that goes on top which functions as a base when in use. The build quality is fantastic with a strong Aluminium chassis and real leather wraps on the lid. It comes in three different colors Deep Black (black lid, orange surround with lime green trim), Space Grey (white leather and dark grey aluminium) or Classic Silver (a lighter grey aluminium with brown leather surround.

CONNECTIVITY : Across the front , you’ll find combi inputs and two fully independent headphone feeds which can accommodate both mini-jack and 1/4" plugs. At the back, there are speaker outputs for two pairs of monitors, line level connectors, MIDI In/Out ports and both S/P-DIF and ADAT In/Out allowing you to connect external preamps. There are also inserts for inputs 1 and 2, allowing you to track through hardware compressors or channel strips which can also be used for reamping guitars. The AudioFuse can be bus powered and includes a custom USB cable that lets it draw power from 2 USB hubs. But for full range functionality, there is an included power supply adapter. It also includes a built-in USB hub with 3 extra ports. This can be great for connecting things like license dongles, hard disks, and Midi con-trollers.
