About this listing
We say...
AudioFuse 16Rig is a high-density audio interface dedicated to hardware synth lovers, electronic musicians, and studio enthusiasts who use lots of hardware devices in their setup.
It's as much a problem solver as it is an audio interface - the 16Rig can be used in standalone mode so that you can walk up to it, switch it on and not even think about turning your computer on in order to have a jam on your synths and instruments. All of the audio and MIDI capabilities are useable without the computer's little green light glowing at you.
You want to use a weird sound-mangling box your pal gave you for one night only? The 16Rig has a pair of dedicated outs and ins on the front panel that automatically sense when something is plugged into them and disable the relevant connections on the back of the unit (so stereo send and returns, basically).
You want to trigger a really cool soft synth on your iPad? No problem, there's a 3.5mm stereo minijack input on the front AND a USB host connector AND a USB MIDI connector too.
Double headphone outputs, master monitor volume control (with dedicated mute switch) and easy signal routing are all availble from the front panel and don't forget, this is all fully useable without a computer being switched on.
If you need something to bring all your instruments into one place, that's highly configurable but also an absolute doddle to use, and which doesn't get in the way when you get that rare moment of creativity arriving on your doorstep, the 16Rig is the one.
You can even stick another 16 inputs in via the ADAT optical connectors on the back so it's not going to limit you if you "accidently" buy another synth (or two).
Manufacturer's description
Ultimate studio centerpiece
Studio full of synths? Full band recordings? Complex monitoring & routing needs? AudioFuse 16Rig gives you the next-level connectivity, versatility, and usability you need for your pro audio applications. Make your sound count.
16 is just the beginning
Treat your setup to an interface that gives you all the connections you need. An entire setup can be kept connected to the rear I/O, leaving the front panel connections available for additional mics, instruments, or devices, while the inputs & outputs can be expanded with ADAT and rerouted as needed.
Pristine sound quality
Give your recordings the shine and clarity they deserve with premium 24-bit AD/DA converters from ESS and Cirrus Logic. Whether it’s synths, guitars, vocals, or any combination of inputs, expect top-notch sound across the board.
A standalone audio tool
For DAWless jamming or live performances, AudioFuse 16Rig just works. The interface can pass audio and MIDI signals even without a computer connected, with a low-latency MIDI-controllable internal mixer. You can even save configuration presets for easy stitching between setups.
Comprehensive audio routing and special features
Configure AudioFuse 16Rig’s connections to suit nearly any need, including multiple sends/returns for creative recording and mixing, A/B speaker switching for confident mixing, guitar reamping, multiple headphone outputs for ensemble recording, and more.
Choose your workflow
Make AudioFuse 16Rig work for you; control its settings through the front panel controls or via the included AudioFuse Control Center software, configure the interface for desktop or rackmount operation, integrate it with practically any studio environment, and instantly switch between different audio scenarios with ease.
