Welcome To Audiofuse 8Pre - Arturia AudioFuse 8 Pre User Manual

1. WELCOME TO AUDIOFUSE 8PRE!

Arturia has a long history of developing hardware and software products that are popular
throughout the music industry due to their innovative, powerful features, high quality, and
affordability.
Our first USB audio interface, the AudioFuse, was introduced in 2017. It boasts some of the
finest microphone preamps the world has ever seen: Arturia's DiscretePRO® Preamps, with
precision analog circuitry, high-quality AKM premium A/D converters, and +24dBu pro-audio
level compatibility. In a feat of engineering genius, all of these components were housed in
a compact design at a cost-to-benefit ratio that rivals devices with a much higher price tag.
That tradition continues with the AudioFuse 8Pre, the second in our family of professional-
grade USB audio interfaces. It offers not two, but eight DiscretePRO® Preamps in a single
rack space, along with 8 pristine analog outputs, 8 channels of ADAT audio inputs and
outputs, flexible clocking options, rock-solid synchronization, and a single-button-per-
function user interface that sacrifices nothing but complicated menus (there aren't any!).
Oh yeah, there's also our way-cool rackmount ear design that allows you to rotate the
ears 90º, add rubber feet, and stand the AudioFuse 8Pre on a desktop at a very useful
and ergonomic position. Plus you can link two AudioFuse 8Pre units together and they can
present themselves to a computer as a single, 16-channel unit, rather than needing to be
recognized as two independent devices.
We've also expanded the feature set of the AudioFuse Control Center software to
complement the new capabilities of this awesome series of audio interfaces. Be sure to
download the AFCC from the Downloads & Manuals page of the Arturia support site.
We predict that you and your AudioFuse 8Pre will become inseparable friends in the very
near future.
