Arturia light the MiniFuse with a new range of “classleading” interfaces

Having tried their hands at creating mid-to-high-end audio interfaces with the AudioFuse range, Arturia are now offering something more affordable with their new

MiniFuse lineup. This comprises three products: MiniFuse 1, 2 and 4. These offer 1-in/2-out,

2-in-2-out and 4-in/4-out connectivity respectively.

The MiniFuses certainly face plenty of competition – the budget audio interface market is one of the most competitive in the industry – but Arturia believe that they have the edge over other manufacturers in several key areas.

First up, there’s sound quality – you get 110dB of dynamic range and a -129dB equivalent input noise level, which Arturia say translates into “class-leading sound”. There’s also the design and build; these interfaces are compact, portable and supposedly rugged, and come with a USB hub on the rear.

Arturia are backing up these promises with a five-year warranty, and you also get a software bundle that comprises Ableton Live Lite, Arturia Analog Lab Intro, Arturia FX, NI Guitar Rig 6 LE and three-month subscriptions to Auto-Tune

Unlimited and Splice.

The MiniFuses come in black and white colour options; the black versions of the MiniFuse 1 and 2 will be available in October for €99 and €149, with the white versions set to follow in November. The MiniFuse 4 will launch in 2022.
