Arturia AudioFuse X8 expands an ADAT-compatible interface by eight analog channels, but the X8 IN and X8 OUT are different products. Choose X8 IN when you need eight additional analog inputs converted to ADAT. Choose X8 OUT when you need eight additional analog outputs from ADAT, including DC-coupled outputs for advanced routing and compatible synth-control workflows.
Choose the Correct X8 Variant
| X8 IN | 8 analog 1/4-inch TRS line inputs to ADAT output. 24-bit AD conversion up to 96 kHz. BNC Word Clock input. |
| X8 OUT | ADAT input to 8 analog 1/4-inch TRS line outputs. Outputs are DC-coupled. 24-bit DA conversion up to 96 kHz. BNC Word Clock input. |
Important: IN and OUT are not interchangeable color or cosmetic variants. They perform opposite signal-flow jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AudioFuse X8 a full USB audio interface?
No. It is an ADAT expansion unit designed to add analog I/O to a compatible interface or digital system.
Which model adds more synth and outboard inputs?
X8 IN. It converts eight analog line inputs to ADAT.
Which model adds more analog sends and monitor outputs?
X8 OUT. It converts ADAT to eight analog line outputs.
Can X8 OUT send control voltage?
Its analog outputs are DC-coupled, which supports compatible CV-oriented synth control workflows.
What is the maximum sample rate?
Up to 96 kHz.
