• AUDIOFUSE16RIG – 16 In/Out Audio Interface

Ultimate studio centerpiece: Studio full of synths? Full band recordings? Complex monitoring & routing needs? AudioFuse 16Rig gives you the next-level connectivity, versatility, and usability you need for your pro audio applications. Make your sound count. 16 is just the beginning: Treat your setup to an interface that gives you all the connections you need. An entire setup can be kept connected to the rear I/O, leaving the front panel connections available for additional mics, instruments, or devices, while the inputs & outputs can be expanded with ADAT and rerouted as needed.

Pristine sound quality: Give your recordings the shine and clarity they deserve with premium 24-bit AD/DA converters from ESS and Cirrus Logic. Whether it’s synths, guitars, vocals, or any combination of inputs, expect top-notch sound across the board. A standalone audio tool: For DAWless jamming or live performances, AudioFuse 16Rig just works.

The interface can pass audio and MIDI signals even without a computer connected, with a low-latency MIDI-controllable internal mixer. You can even save configuration presets for easy stitching between setups. Comprehensive audio routing and special features: Configure AudioFuse 16Rig’s connections to suit nearly any need, including multiple sends/returns for creative recording and mixing, A/B speaker switching for confident mixing, guitar re-amping, multiple headphone outputs for ensemble recording, and more. Choose your workflow: Make AudioFuse 16Rig work for you; control its settings through the front panel controls or via the included AudioFuse Control Center software, configure the interface for desktop or rackmount operation, integrate it with practically any studio environment, and instantly switch between different audio scenarios with ease.

Studio full of synths?
Ensemble recording?

Explore a handful of scenarios where AudioFuse 16Rig won’t simply excel at getting the job done – it’ll make your creative life easier.

Different monitor mixes

Not everyone wants to hear the same thing during a session or performance.

AudioFuse 16Rig’s Cue Mixer lets you create an entirely separate mix, with different channels, levels, and panning, that can be sent to a separate headphone or speaker output. Great for recording drums with guide tracks, keeping lead & backing vocals in harmony, or creating sub-mixes for on-the-fly processing.

Multiple effects chains

Customize every intersection between your inputs and your effects.

Map out multiple send-return chains in visual detail and create custom effects chains with the help of AudioFuse Control Center’s matrix. You might want reverb and compression on your vocals, distortion and chorus on your synths, and a dubby sprinkling of Delay TAPE-201 on your drum bus – no sweat.

A smarter interface

Enjoy an easier recording and production workflow with an interface that opens up new creative pathways; AudioFuse 16Rig is designed to proactively overcome any hurdles before you’ve even encountered them.

Save configurations for instant recall

Different song, different mix, same connections? Save your settings as a preset so you can quickly recall or switch between them; great for saving time in sessions or giving you instant flexibility for live performance.

Reamping & high-impedance headphones

Send your dry guitar stems straight to external effects or amps without needing a DI box thanks to front panel outputs with true analog zero-latency passthrough. Not only can these outputs (3-4) send line or instrument level signals; you can also configure them to connect high-impedance headphones for that extra boost when needed.

• Dual internal mixers

Go DAWless and operate AudioFuse 16Rig’s two internal mixers totally standalone, no computer connection needed.

• Display

See how your mix is behaving in real-time with AudioFuse 16Rig’s full-color display, showing levels, channels, vital settings, and more.

• Quick-access controls

Essential info, settings, and visual feedback on your project is only ever a click away with accessible buttons next to the display.

• MIDI controllable

Tweak and automate certain settings in your mix and play AudioFuse 16Rig like an instrument with CC assignments that can be controlled by MIDI gear.

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 controls the mixer, selection of inputs, routing, monitoring, and additional functions such as sampling rate, Clock Source, Pad, Cue, and more. Another useful touch is that AudioFuse will remember the latest AFCC settings for standalone use until the next time you connect and change them.
