Auturia Audio Fuse range inc 8 channel ADAT expander

[Guy Rowland]

Thought this might be appealing to some folks. Auturia have just launched a new range of quality soundcards and expanders, and the 8 channel ADAT dual purpose thing caught my eye.

AudioFuse 8Pre offers unrivalled quality at its price point. The 8 Discrete Pro© preamps and analog signal path will let you truly “hear” your audio for the first time. The super-low Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) lets you capture every subtle detail, while the huge input gain will drive even the most demanding low-output mics. All this with a totally flat frequency response for total transparency. The superb quality doesn’t stop there, AudioFuse 8Pre also features the best A/D converters available.

Equivalent Input Noise (EIN)

< -129dBu*

Dynamic Range

119.3dB

AudioFuse 8Pre can fulfill any studio role. You already have a powerful interface, but need more inputs? AudioFuse 8Pre is the perfect ADAT preamp expander. Want to record multiple channels, but don’t own an ADAT-expandable interface? AudioFuse 8Pre can connect directly with your computer so you can record multi-tracked instruments all at once. It’s a high-performance audio interface with USB connectivity, speaker outputs and independent headphone output.

Use on its own; expand your existing interface; cascade 2 AudioFuse 8Pre together via ADAT for 16 superb preamps.

There's also a couple of sound cards, the Audio Fuse

Some interesting looking interfaces there. And look how much everyone is smiling in that video -- they must sound great!

I wonder it supports internal loopback like on the RMEs (and, I assume, others).

$800 for the 8Pre is steep compared to the Behringer ADA8200 but if the audio quality is there I could see a market.

there is also a market for those that wish to spend their money with a company that isn't Behringer<G>!
