Premium desktop audio interface

AudioFuse Studio Rev2

Why Audiofuse
Studio

Today, you’re tracking a string quartet for an independent film. Tomorrow you’re running a vocal session for your band, and in the evening you’re gigging. At the weekend, you’re mastering your client’s new album, and somewhere in the middle of all that you’re going to find time to sketch out ideas for your new side project.

Sounds like you need a recording interface that will keep up with your creativity; an interface that can handle every scenario; an interface that won’t let you down.

Simply put, it means your interface will handle any challenge you throw at it.

World-class
preamps

Our whole AudioFuse range uses our exclusive DiscretePRO© microphone preamps with fully independent Mic/Line circuits.

AudioFuse Studio Rev2 features four optimized DiscretePRO® preamps, delivering even lower THD while preserving their exceptional dynamic range, ultra-low input noise and flat frequency response.

Our DiscretePRO preamps don't add any unwanted artefacts into your sound. After all, you want to hear your instrument, not your interface. AudioFuse Studio has crystal clear, transparent sound at every stage. Recording something delicate? Crank your gain, safe in the knowledge that you won't add any hiss or noise to your recording.

You can always add color to your sound later using the included AudioFuse Creative Suite, a collection of perfectly emulated signal processing from iconic, vintage studio consoles and synths

21 Century
features

AudioFuse Studio also features 4 additional line-level inputs on the rear panel so you can hook up more synths or drum machines.

Two of those can also be used as a dedicated phono input with integrated RIAA preamp, letting you listen to or sample vinyl straight from your turntable.

Reamping

Two dedicated “reamp” outputs let you get creative with your guitars. Hook up your favorite guitar or bass, feed the duplicate signal from one of the reamp outputs to your amp of choice, mic it up, and simultaneously track your dry signal and the sound from your amplifier.

You can even use the dedicated Reamp outputs to add valve amp distortion to your drum tracks, vocals, or anything you like! Get perfect tone with every take.

Bluetooth

AudioFuse Studio features built-in Bluetooth streaming. Enjoy streaming music from your phone to your studio monitors in your down time or when you’re entertaining.

AudioFuse Studio Rev2 features an upgraded Bluetooth® module supporting AAC, aptX™, aptX™ HD and aptX™ Low Latency. Stream audio from your phone or tablet to your monitors, let clients share references or record wireless sources directly into your DAW—all without sacrificing sound quality.

Powerful
versatile inputs

AudioFuse Studio features 8 analog input channels. These aren’t just any inputs, these are our exclusive, award-winning DiscretePRO© microphone and instrument preamps.

The 4 front-loading inputs feature a combi-jack connection, so can be used either for microphones or line-level instruments. Each of these channels provides an astounding level of noiseless gain, as well as switchable attenuators.

This means you can use practically any source for your audio, from hot line signals all the way to low output vintage mics without any external processing.

One interface
that does it all

When you’re running more adventurous projects, you’ll often find that inputs alone aren’t enough. You need more versatility, more options, and more power. This is where AudioFuse Studio really shines.

Dedicated Insert Points

Want to use your collection of signal processing gear? Or maybe you’re tracking at a studio, and they have some tasty compressors or EQs in their rack. AudioFuse Studio makes using them easy. Inputs 1 to 4 feature dedicated insert points, so you can set up 4 unique signal chains at the input stage and record the processed audio.

Sample Vinyl With Ease

AudioFuse Studio also features 4 additional line-level inputs on the rear panel so you can hook up more synths or drum machines. Two of those can also be used as a dedicated phono input with integrated RIAA preamp, letting you listen to or sample vinyl straight from your turntable.

Flexible routing and digital connectivity

Connect expanders and other interfaces with ADAT, route a wider selection of sources to the Aux and ADAT outputs, and keep your entire setup synchronized with Word Clock. Expanded routing makes AudioFuse Studio easier to adapt to complex recording, monitoring and hardware configurations.

Analog powerhouse

It's not just our preamps that sound amazing, every analog element of the AudioFuse series has been carefully designed and crafted from the highest quality components to give you the best experience possible, from the headphone amps to the satisfying, snug input sockets.

One-button, one-function

It's a simple philosophy, but it's crucial to keeping you in the creative zone. With AudioFuse, it's all about workflow. You don't need to second guess yourself. Want to engage phantom power? Press the dedicated button. Want to switch input impedance? Press the button. You get the idea.

Outstanding Stability

AudioFuse Studio combines premium AKM® converters with an updated clocking system, bringing unified logic and control in line with AudioFuse 16Rig. The result is refined clock stability, dependable synchronization and pristine conversion across your setup.

This isn’t a case of “this” or “that”, you can use all of these features at the same time.

A total
monitoring solution

When you’re tracking, mixing, mastering, or just listening to music, you need your monitoring setup to be as simple, pain-free, and transparent as possible. AudioFuse Studio gives you the best monitoring experience, with workflow and ease of use at its heart

Speaker A/B

AudioFuse Studio features twin stereo speaker outputs, and a dedicated “Speaker A/B” switching button so you can cross-reference your music on 2 different audio systems. S/PDIF can also be used to drive speakers with digital input. Setting this up is easy, and the AudioFuse Control Center makes levelling their volumes simple.

Dedicated Controls

While you’re listening, everything is at your fingertips. Do your headphones need more volume than your bandmates? The headphones have independent volume control. You can forget about adapters too, Audio Studio has headphone sockets for both sizes. Need to explain a musical idea? Use the dedicated “Dim” button so you don’t have to shout. Spare yourself the clunks and pops while you connect instruments and gear with the “Mute” button. Want to check your mono compatibility? You guessed it, there’s a also dedicated “Mono” button for the main mix, and both headphones.

Keep Talking

AudioFuse Studio also includes a built-in “talkback” mic and dedicated button, so you can give your talent direction even if you’re using a multi-room setup. The talkback mic also has its own input channel, which is really handy for making mix notes in your track, or instantly laying down demo melody ideas or lyric guides without having to set up a microphone.

A perfect control center (AFCC)

Beneath the intuitive, hands-on control on the surface of AudioFuse lies the power and versatility of a pro studio.

AudioFuse allows you to keep on top of your projects, so you can feel confident no matter what musical scenario comes your way.

As the next-generation audio interface, AudioFuse lets you access a large number of fundamental features directly from its top panel. Once it's connected to a computer, AudioFuse transforms into a full-featured mixing console.

AudioFuse Control Center manages the mixer, input selection, routing, monitoring, sample rate, clock source, Pad, Cue and more. Expanded source options for Aux and ADAT outputs give you greater flexibility when building submixes and hardware workflows. AudioFuse Studio also remembers your latest AFCC settings for standalone use.
