Arturia AudioFuse 8Pre USB 2.0 Audio Interface 16 Inputs and outputs

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.

Adding serious value to the AudioFuse 8Pre interface is Arturia's included AudioFuse Creative Suite. The 3 Preamps bundle is the culmination of Arturia's 20 years of software emulation experience. It's 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. A lite 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. 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.

The all new 896mk3 FireWire audio interface delivers high-end performance, superb sound, innovative new features and enhanced standard features that remain unique.

The 896mk3 provides eight channels of pristine 24-bit 192 kHz analog recording and playback, combined with sixteen channels of optical digital I/O, stereo AES/EBU, S/PDIF and separate analog main outs. Expand your system by connecting the 8pre mic input expander or other MOTU audio interfaces.

The 896mk3 is equally well-suited for studio and stage, with or without a computer. As an interface or standalone mixer, the 896mk3 provides 28 separate inputs and 32 separate outputs, including dedicated main outs on XLRs and two front panel headphone outs.

Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors. Record, monitor, route and process all of these live inputs using the professional on-board CueMix FX digital mixer – with no latency and no processor strain on your computer. Apply hardware DSP-driven effects processing to inputs, outputs, and busses independent of your host computer. Add Classic Reverb™ with lengths up to 60 seconds. Further sculpt your sound with 7-band parametric EQ featuring filter types carefully modeled after British analog console EQs. Choose between two forms of compression: a conventional compressor and the Leveler™, an accurate model of the legendary LA-2A™ optical compressor that provides vintage, musical automatic gain control.

MOTU FireWire audio interfaces are fully compatible with FireWire 800-equipped Macs. All you need is a standard FireWire 400-to-800 cable. Just plug in and go. The FireWire bus operates at 400 Mb/sec, providing the same high speed, low latency and rock solid reliability that MOTU FireWire interfaces are known for.

When recording from the mic/guitar inputs, the 896mk3ʼs signal overload protection gives you an extra 12 dB of headroom above zero with no clipping or harsh artifacts.

After programming the on-board mixing in the studio, unplug the 896mk3 from the computer and take it on the road for operation as a stand-alone mixer with effects. All mixing and effects parameters are adjustable using the front panel backlit LCD.

The 896mk3 provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac and Windows and all of your favorite audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. Or you can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for Mac, with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.
