AudioFuse 8Pre: your new "go-to" The devil's in the detail, as they say. On this page, you'll discover what makes AudioFuse 8Pre such a unique studio tool. World-class preamps Our whole AudioFuse range uses our exclusive DiscretePRO microphone preamps with fully independent Mic/Line circuits. AudioFuse 8Pre features 8 of these pristine preamps and - on paper- 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?Simply put, it means that the sound of your microphones and instruments will be perfectly captured with incredible fidelity and that even if you're using quiet vintage mics that need a lot of gain, you can turn the gain all the way up. AudioFuse 8Pre won't add any noise, hiss or artefacts in the audio. While other expanders or dedicated preamps may give you one or two channels of quality audio, AudioFuse 8Pre gives you 8, with absolutely no compromise. Made for the studio If we hadn't made it obvious enough yet, AudioFuse 8Pre can be used either as an audio interface or an 8-channel preamp expander for your existing setup. Input channels 1 and 2 are easily accessible from the front panel, so you can quickly track ideas from mics or DI'd instruments without having to access the back panel. These channels also feature dedicated insert points, so you can integrate any sound processing gear you have at the input stage.AudioFuse 8Pre comes with rack ears so that you can house it in your 19" rack. If you'd prefer to use the interface from your desktop - maybe with a laptop or monitor on top of it - you can switch the rack ears to face downward, turning them into little feet. You can also change the clock source and sample rate right from the front panel, without having to dive into menus. Sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference. Spoiled for choice Our AudioFuse interface range give you all the options you need. Think of our audio interfaces as an interpreter for your creativity. Your instruments, devices, software, outboard hardware and microphones speak a mix of binary code, acoustic vibration and electrical signals. The Arturia AudioFuse range brings everything together in harmony. 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. The best interface for live performance AudioFuse 8Pre features 8 dedicated line outputs, as well as discrete monitor and headphone outputs. This effectively gives you 12 channels of analog audio that you can give to the sound engineer at your next gig. You could also use this amazing connectivity to get really creative with post-processing in the mastering stage.AudioFuse 8Pre has super-low latency and incredibly robust sync. If you're using a master clock to sync multiple computers together for an audio performance or session, AudioFuse 8Pre can connect with dedicated Word Clock i/o, with switchable Hi-Z termination. A perfect control center (AFCC) Beneath the intuitive, hands-on control on the surface of AudioFuse lies the power and versatility of a pro studio. AudioFuse allows you to keep on top of your projects, so you can feel confident no matter what musical scenario comes your way. As the next-generation audio interface, AudioFuse lets you access a large number of fundamental features directly from its top panel. Once it's connected to a computer, AudioFuse transforms into a full-featured mixing console. AudioFuse Control Center controls the mixer, selection of inputs, routing, monitoring and additional functions such as sampling rate, Clock Source, Pad, Cue and more. Another useful touch is that AudioFuse will remember the latest AFCC settings for standalone use until the next time you connect and change them.
