Arturia - AudioFuse 16Rig Studio Mastermind Audio Interface

Introducing an interface that lets you leave everything connected, route anything to anything, and be more creative with your projects.

A workhorse hub of connections and smart features designed to get the job done, no matter the complexity. A powerful, reliable production tool that can be molded to suit your audio setup, your workflow, and your sound.

AudioFuse 16Rig is a high-density audio interface that combines an unmatched array of connections with a creativity-first workflow, built to handle a hardware-focused setup and keep your devices always in sync, always sounding pristine, and always ready to go.

A standalone mixer
For DAWless recording, live mixing, and outside-the-box audio configuration, AudioFuse 16Rig just works. Fire up its two low-latency internal mixers for sessions away from the studio, process audio & MIDI without a computer connection, and save your configurations for instant recall and quick setup switching.

Intricate audio routing
Get hands-on with an interface that lets you configure its connections to suit any need, including multiple sends/returns for effects, quick A/B speaker monitoring, and more. The included AudioFuse Control Center even features a matrix for quick "connect anything and everything" configuration.

Quantity, meet quality
Give every recording the shine, clarity, and projection it deserves with two high-quality digitally-controlled preamps and 24-bit AD/DA converters from ESS and Cirrus Logic. Whether it's red-hot synths, dynamic guitars, delicate vocals, or any combination of inputs, expect top-notch sound across the board.

Choose your workflow
Your interface should adjust to suit your setup, not the other way around. Control AudioFuse 16Rig's settings via the display or the included software, configure it for desktop or 1U rackmount operation, use the DC-coupled outputs to send signals to synth modules, and connect your high-impedance headphones.

Smart Design
Sometimes it's the little things that matter most. You need your gear to complement and enhance the way you work, and that's the driving force behind AudioFuse 16Rig.

See how every piece of the AudioFuse 16Rig puzzle fits together to deliver a dream interface for audio & music hardware lovers.

Premium FX Included
Every AudioFuse interface comes with an ever-evolving suite of creative plugins curated from the award-winning FX Collection. Refine any incoming audio with vintage studio tools, get experimental with contemporary effects, and embark on a journey through classic & modern sounds with Analog Lab.
