Arturia AudioFuse 8Pre USB Audio Interface

Stackable 8-channel USB-C Interface with ADAT Out
For an 8-channel USB-C interface with choice features and premium componentry — or as a convenient way to add eight channels of sterling audio to your current setup — consider the Arturia AudioFuse 8Pre. The 8Pre comes fully loaded with eight Discrete Pro preamps, designed by Arturia and built from the ground up, to provide an ideal front end for today's project studio. Class-leading conversion and clocking with 129dBu of S/N and 119dB of dynamic range equip this interface for modern metal to string quartets. USB-C protocol yields a rock-solid connection and lightning-fast round trip. And eight channels over ADAT means you can easily stack two 8Pres for 16 inputs or inject its dependable signal path into a compatible interface. Adding value Arturia's AudioFuse 8Pre's included Creative Suite software pack, which offers some pretty significant sound-shaping and musicmaking options.



Included AudioFuse Creative Suite
Adding serious value to the AudioFuse 8Pre is Arturia's included AudioFuse Creative Suite. For the last 20 years, Arturia has been creating impressive software emulations that are used by producers around the world. The 3 Preamps bundle is your ticket to component-correct vintage analog coloration and sweetening on any recorded source — beefy bass drums to sparkling acoustic guitars and perfectly present vocals. An intro version of the Arturia's Analog Lab nets you a comprehensive collection of sought-after synth sounds, made all the sweeter by the Mini Filter's Moog-ish ladder filtering and step sequencing. You also get sweet digitization of a prized analog delay and a vibey 76-type compressor to make drums and bass come alive. Also onboard are a trio of vintage modulation effects. Take it from Arturia users at Sweetwater: the Creative Suite's plug-ins will find their way onto just about any project you take on.
