The Sound
AudioFuse is built on a fully symmetrical audio chain, with every stage carefully designed to culminate in unrivaled sonic purity. The two custom designed DiscretePRO® microphone preamps combine the best of yesterday’s vintage consoles with today’s cutting-edge technology, giving you and your music superior audio performance. Next-generation analog-to-digital converters deliver over-the-top audio quality with amazing transparency that reveals every nuance in your music.
Creative Flow
Want to adjust the gain on channel 1? Turn the dedicated knob. Need to switch monitors? Press a button. Want more level in one of the headphones? Just turn up that dedicated knob. There are no menus in AudioFuse. Nothing is buried, so every control is always at your fingertips without any speed bumps. There's nothing in the way of your creative flow.
The Connectivity
AudioFuse connects with virtually everything: mics, instruments, turntables, studio equipment, Mac, PC, Linux, 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.
The Quality
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 highly-reliable best friend.
What is Discrete Pro?
Amplifying the tiny electrical signal delivered by a microphone into a workable line level without noise or distortion is a tough job. There are multiple ways to do this. Many companies accomplish this using the numerous integrated amplifiers that are available, each with their own characteristics, specifications and fixed limitations. However, when you want to go beyond their intrinsic limitations you need to do the heavy lifting yourself, and design your own circuits the discrete way. So Arturia teamed up with analog audio experts and sound engineers and took design ideas from the golden age of analog consoles, and then improved them by applying today's knowledge and technology.
What they ended up with was an exceptionally clean, pristine analog microphone preamplifier circuit, one that captures the nuances of your microphone and performance as accurately as possible.
Specifications
No matter what spec you look at, you'll find uncompromising quality at every point. We present actual real-world performance measurements (in compliance with AES17 standards) rather than the misleading chipset performance that companies sometimes publish. Measurements were performed on a high-end Audio Precision APX555 testing instrument. Measurements are of analog input path, taken at insert point.

Price Match
We're always competitively priced! However, on the odd occasion a competitor may offer a lower price on a product, all we ask is that the store or website offering the lower price is an authorised dealer for that brand and is based in the UK with the products being 'like for like' and available from stock. We will also take into account any delivery charges.
