Arturia AudioFuse 16Rig 16-Channel Audo and MIDI Interface

Arturia’s AudioFuse 16Rig is a professional interface that combines massive connectivity with flexible configurations for connecting an entire synth studio, complex live audio routing, advanced DAW recording, and beyond. And, like the rest of Arturia’s line-up, it does all this in an intuitive, workflow-focused way that encourages creativity & experimentation.

With 16 analog inputs, 12 analog outputs, dual-ADAT I/O ports with Word Clock sync, low latency DSP mixers, standalone audio and MIDI functionality and much more, AudioFuse 16Rig raises the bar in the audio interface category. It gives users an unmatched package of technical power, creative features, and maximum flexibility at an unbeatable price.

Ultimate studio centerpiece
Studio full of synths? Full band recordings? Complex monitor & send/return routing? AudioFuse 16Rig’s next-level connectivity and versatility meets the most demanding needs of today’s producers; an entire setup can be kept connected to the rear I/O, leaving the front panel connections available for additional mics, instruments, or devices.

Pristine audio quality
AudioFuse 16Rig gives recordings the shine and clarity they deserve with premium 24-bit AD/DA converters from ESS and Cirrus Logic. Whether it’s synths, guitars, vocals, or any combination of inputs, expect consistent top-tier sound.

A standalone mixer
For DAWless recording, live mixing, and computer-free audio configuration, AudioFuse 16Rig just works. The interface can process audio & MIDI signals even without a computer connected, and comes with a low-latency internal mixer that can be easily controlled via MIDI. Better still, many of the essential recording and mixing controls can be configured, saved, and recalled via the device itself for quick setup switching.

Intricate audio routing
AudioFuse 16Rig goes far beyond ins and outs. Configure its connections to suit any need, including multiple sends/returns, A/B speaker monitoring, and more. The included AudioFuse Control Center even features a matrix for quick ‘connect anything and everything’ configuration.

Choose your workflow
AudioFuse 16Rig can be set up to suit any workflow. Users can control its settings via the built-in controls or the included software, configure it for desktop or rackmount operation, use the DC-coupled outputs to send signals to synth modules, and even connect high-impedance headphones.
