One Desktop Box for Your Whole Studio
Studios tend to collect gear faster than they collect inputs, and eventually, the interface simply runs out of places to plug in. Arturia's AudioFuse Studio Rev2, however, puts four DiscretePRO preamps across the front end, each with its own hands-on controls and an analog insert point, so your best mics and outboard gear stay patched and ready to go. Four transparent line inputs on the rear panel also let you leave your synths wired up for whenever inspiration strikes. Furthermore, two pairs of TRS monitor outputs, an S/PDIF connection, and integrated speaker switching make checking mix translations into a one-button job, while the twin headphone channels each get independent controls and metering. This Rev2 edition also gives you optimized preamps for even lower THD, an updated Bluetooth module with the latest aptX codecs, and firmware refinements to clock stability and routing. When you center your studio around the Arturia AudioFuse Studio Rev2, you’ll be equipped with both connectivity and top-tier sound for all of your upcoming recording projects.

Preamps you can push
All four channels carry the same DiscretePRO circuit, with -129dBu of equivalent input noise and 119dBu of dynamic range, meaning that quiet ribbon mics and low-output dynamics track clean, even when you push the gain. Each channel also gets its own analog insert point, so a trusted compressor or EQ can always sit in your signal path, while the preamps themselves are faithfully accurate and wonderfully transparent; the sound you deliver to them is the sound that lands in your session.
Sync to anything, connect to everything
Expansion is often what separates an interface you keep from one you replace later, and the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 sports expansion in spades. Bring in a summing mixer or a bank of outboard converters, and ADAT can carry eight additional channels for you. MIDI, S/PDIF, word clock, and USB-C on the back panel handle your synths, drum machines, and controllers with complete confidence. Instrument-level outputs let you track your guitars dry and reamp them once the arrangement tells you which amp it wants. The chassis also features a multi-port USB hub, so your controller and portable drive no longer have to fight over the two ports on your laptop. Perhaps best of all, your whole rig connects to your computer over a single cable.
A/B without needing a separate controller
Sweetwater studio engineers know that mixes don't reveal their problems on one pair of speakers and that making A/B comparisons is an absolute must. The AudioFuse Studio Rev2 gives you two pairs of TRS outputs and an S/PDIF connection to run multiple sets of speakers off the interface, and integrated switching allows A/B comparison via a single front-panel button. The interface also boasts twin headphone channels, each with independent level control and metering, while the AudioFuse Control Center handles submix routing from your desktop. With the AudioFuse Studio Rev2, each listener gets their own balance and visual window, and from a single panel, you can be sure your mix translates.
