With 16 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs, an entire setup can remain connected at the back, while the connections on your front panel remain available for additional microphones, instruments or devices. Plus, inputs and outputs can be expanded via the ADAT connection.
Give your recordings beautiful sound and clarity with high-quality 24-bit AD/DA converters from ESS and Cirrus Logic. Whether it's synthesizers, guitars, vocals or a combination of inputs, the 16Rig provides first-class sound.
Stand Alone
For DAW-less jamming or live performances, you can use the AudioFuse 16Rig perfectly. The interface can even pass audio and MIDI signals without a computer connected, with a low-latency MIDI-controllable internal mixer. You can even save configuration presets for easy switching between setups.
