Arturia Audiofuse X8 OUT

An Extension Designed for the AudioFuse Ecosystem and Evolving Studios

The AudioFuse X8 OUT fits into the "modular studio" approach: instead of replacing an audio interface that already suits you, you simply add outputs where you need them. Connected via ADAT optical, it increases your setup's routing capacity while maintaining a clean, compact, and performance-oriented installation. Its 1U half-rack chassis and removable ears allow you to switch from a desktop setup to a standard rack, with the possibility to mount two units side by side to support the growth of your equipment collection.

Who Benefits from the AudioFuse X8 OUT and in What Applications?

This module targets producers and sound engineers who lack enough analog outputs to work efficiently: sending signals to external compressors and reverbs, console returns, analog summing, or creating multiple headphone/monitor mixes. It is also highly relevant for electronic musicians who want to keep several machines ready to play while enjoying flexible routing from the DAW. Whether live or in the studio, the goal is simple: more outputs without the complexity or bulk of a full audio interface.

Conversion, Sync, and Connectivity: An ADAT Expander Designed for Modern Routing

The AudioFuse X8 OUT delivers 8 channels of digital-to-analog conversion based on a 24-bit Cirrus Logic converter, with a sampling rate up to 96 kHz. The ADAT connectivity supports SMUX to maintain a consistent workflow when working in high resolution. For reliable integration into larger systems, a Word Clock input facilitates synchronization, while the front panel controls provide quick access to essential functions, including sync.

Finally, the DC-coupled TRS outputs open the door to creative uses: controlling compatible synths, automating external parameters, and precise control from your sequencer, all while maintaining audio quality suited to the demands of modern productions.
