Arturia AudioFuse Studio REV2

The Arturia AudioFuse Studio Rev2 is a professional USB-C audio interface for musicians, producers, and sound engineers who demand the highest standards in sound quality, connectivity, and studio control. This updated version of the AudioFuse Studio combines four optimized DiscretePRO microphone preamps with 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion, extensive digital and analog connectivity, and an updated Bluetooth receiver.

With 18 input channels and 20 output channels, the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 provides ample capacity for a complete studio setup. Connect microphones, guitars, synthesizers, external effects units, studio monitors, and headphones, and control key functions directly from the device. Thanks to the integrated USB hub, MIDI connections, ADAT, S/PDIF, and Word Clock, this desktop audio interface serves as the central hub of your studio.

Four DiscretePRO preamps with optimized audio performance
The AudioFuse Studio Rev2 features four DiscretePRO microphone preamps designed for transparent signal reproduction with a wide dynamic range. With an Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) of -129 dBu, a dynamic range of 119 dB, a gain range of 78 dB, and a headroom of +18 dBu, both soft and powerful sound sources can be recorded accurately. Whether you’re recording vocals, acoustic instruments, electric guitars, or drums, the preamps preserve the character of the original sound source. Even at high gain settings, inherent noise remains minimal. Each of the four channels has its own controls, giving you direct access to the most important settings while recording. The analog signal path is combined with the latest-generation AD/DA converters, which support recordings with a resolution of up to 24-bit and a sample rate of 192 kHz. This ensures that details and dynamics are accurately captured and reproduced during recording, mixing, and playback.

Eight analog inputs for microphones, instruments, and synthesizers
Witheight analog inputs, the Arturia AudioFuse Studio Rev2 offers connectivity options for various sound sources. The first four inputs are suitable for microphone, line, and instrument signals. This allows you, for example, to connect microphones and electric guitars directly. In addition, four extra line inputs are available for synthesizers, drum machines, keyboards, and external audio equipment. This way, multiple instruments can remain connected without having to swap cables during every recording session. The first four channels also feature analog insert jacks. These allow you to incorporate external compressors, equalizers, and other hardware processors into the signal path. This makes it possible to use analog equipment during recording.

Integrated Phono Preamplifier for Vinyl
A special feature of the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 is its built-in RIAA phono preamplifier. Analog inputs 5 and 6 can be switched to phono mode, allowing you to connect a turntable directly to the audio interface. This lets you listen to vinyl records, digitize them, or record samples into your DAW. A separate phono preamp is not required for this. This is useful for producers who use vinyl as a sound source and for musicians who want to digitize their record collection.

Record Bluetooth Audio Directly
The AudioFuse Studio Rev2 is equipped with an updated Bluetooth receiver, allowing you to receive audio wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet, for example. The receiver supports AAC, aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Low Latency. Bluetooth audio can be recorded directly into your recording software. This makes it possible to use audio material from a mobile device in productions, play back reference tracks, or listen to music wirelessly through your studio setup.

Comprehensive monitor controller for two sets of studio monitors
In addition to its recording features, the Arturia AudioFuse Studio Rev2 features a comprehensive monitor section. You can connect two sets of studio monitors via the balanced TRS outputs and switch directly between the two sets. This allows you to check how your music sounds on different speaker systems while mixing. The large central volume control and the separate monitor functions give you direct control over the monitoring volume and signal playback. There are also two independent stereo headphone outputs. Both headphone channels feature their own volume control, source selection, and level metering. This allows, for example, a producer and a musician to listen to different monitor mixes simultaneously. The integrated internal mixers support direct monitoring with very low latency. This allows you to listen to incoming audio signals without them first having to be processed by your DAW.

Reamping for Guitars and External Amplifiers
For guitarists and producers, the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 offers two separate analog outputs with reamping functionality. These outputs can deliver a signal at instrument level, allowing recorded guitar parts to be routed through a guitar amplifier or effects pedals a second time. For example, you can first record a dry DI guitar track and later experiment with different amplifiers, pedals, and microphone setups. This way, you don’t have to re-record the original part when you want to adjust the guitar sound.

ADAT, S/PDIF, Word Clock, and MIDI
In addition to its analog connections, the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 offers extensive digital connectivity. Via ADAT, up to eight additional digital audio channels can be transmitted and received at sample rates up to 96 kHz. This allows you to expand the interface with, for example, an external ADAT microphone preamp or converter. This is useful when you want to record multiple sound sources simultaneously, such as during drum sessions or larger studio sessions. In addition, S/PDIF ports are available for digital audio transfer, and Word Clock ports are provided for synchronization with other digital studio equipment. Thanks to MIDI connectivity, you can also integrate synthesizers, drum machines, and other MIDI devices into your studio.

USB-C port with integrated USB hub
The AudioFuse Studio Rev2 connects to a Mac or Windows computer via USB-C and is compatible with USB 2.0. The built-in USB hub provides additional connection options for USB devices, such as MIDI controllers and external storage devices. This reduces the number of separate USB ports needed on your computer and allows you to create a clean, organized studio setup. The combination of audio, MIDI, and USB connectivity makes the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 ideal as the central component of a computer-based production studio.

AudioFuse Control Center 2.5.0
With AudioFuse ControlCenter, you can manage the interface’s routing, monitoring, and settings from your computer. Version 2.5.0 introduces, among other features, the ability to import and export custom presets. This allows you to save different studio configurations and recall them later. In addition, this software version offers improved clock management, more extensive output routing options, and support for digital speaker monitoring. This gives you more control over how audio signals are routed through your studio.
