Arturia AudioFuse Studio Rev2 is an 18-in, 20-out desktop USB-C audio and MIDI interface for project and professional studios that need many inputs, two sets of speakers and real monitoring control on one box. It has 4 DiscretePRO mic/instrument/line preamps with up to 78 dB of gain and -129 dBu EIN, 8 analog inputs, 24-bit conversion up to 192 kHz, ADAT, S/PDIF, word clock, MIDI, a phono input, a Bluetooth receiver and a built-in USB hub.
One desktop box that handles recording, monitoring, digital expansion and the USB hub for a full studio.
Overview
AudioFuse Studio Rev2 is the second revision of Arturia's flagship desktop interface. It keeps the 18 x 20 layout and metal chassis and updates the parts that matter most: the DiscretePRO preamps are optimized for lower distortion, the Bluetooth module is new, the Aux and ADAT outputs get more source options, and the clocking system is updated for stability.
The front holds four preamps with their own gain controls, each switchable between mic, instrument and line, with an analog insert on each channel. Four more line inputs sit on the back, and inputs 5 and 6 can switch to a built-in RIAA phono stage so a turntable plugs straight in. Two Aux outputs run at instrument level for reamping guitars.
Monitoring is built for a real room: speaker A/B switching with two pairs of balanced outputs, two headphone outputs with their own source, level and metering, Mono, Mute and Dim, per-input PFL and a talkback mic. Each unit ships with its own measured performance certificate, and the AudioFuse Creative Suite of 11 Arturia software titles is included.

What Changed in the AudioFuse Studio Rev2?
Arturia lists five updates over the original AudioFuse Studio: optimized DiscretePRO preamps with lower THD, an updated Bluetooth module supporting AAC, aptX, aptX HD and aptX Low Latency, expanded source options for the Aux and ADAT outputs, an updated clocking system for better stability, and a larger Creative Suite of 11 titles that now adds Comp DIODE-609 and Analog Lab Intro. The I/O count, chassis and feature set otherwise carry over.
How Much I/O Does the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 Have?
There are 18 inputs and 20 outputs in total. On the analog side you get 4 preamp inputs, 4 line inputs (two of them switchable to phono), 4 inserts, 4 line outputs for two speaker pairs, 2 Aux reamp outputs and 2 headphone outputs. Digital I/O adds 8 channels of ADAT in and out at up to 96 kHz, plus S/PDIF or word clock on RCA. MIDI in and out and a Bluetooth receiver round it out.
Who Is the AudioFuse Studio Rev2 For?
It fits a producer or engineer who records a few sources at once, keeps synths and outboard plugged in, mixes on two sets of monitors and wants room to grow through ADAT. Guitarists get reamp outputs, DJs and samplers get the phono input, and the USB hub frees up ports on a laptop.
