If your studio setup has grown beyond what a single interface can handle, the AudioFuse 16Rig is here to sort things out. Arturia's flagship USB audio interface delivers 16 analog inputs, 12 analog outputs, dual ADAT expansion, standalone operation, and a MIDI routing system smart enough to make you look like you had a plan all along. This isn't just an audio interface. It's the missing piece your entire rig has been waiting for.
I/O So Extensive It's Almost Rude
Most interfaces make you choose between inputs. The 16Rig doesn't believe in choices — it believes in having everything plugged in, ready to go, all the time. With 16 balanced TRS line inputs, dedicated mic preamps, front-panel instrument connectivity, and dual ADAT expansion ports, you're looking at up to 32 inputs at base sample rates. That's enough to leave every synth, drum machine, and piece of outboard gear connected simultaneously, with room to spare.
16 Balanced Analog Inputs: All 16 TRS line inputs sit ready at the rear, while inputs 1–4 can be switched to front-panel jacks without unplugging anything from the back — a small feature that saves an embarrassing amount of time during sessions.
Dual ADAT Expansion: Two optical ADAT ports deliver up to 16 additional channels at 48kHz or 8 channels at 96kHz, with Word Clock I/O via BNC for tight synchronization across your entire digital ecosystem.
Flexible Analog Outputs: Twelve analog outputs cover every base — 8 DC-coupled line outs, dedicated speaker outputs, front-panel multi-function outputs that double as re-amp sends or extra headphone connections, and a headphone output with both 6.35mm and 3.5mm jacks.
Audio Quality That Speaks for Itself
Behind all that connectivity is a converter and preamp section that takes its job seriously, even when everything else in your studio is being chaotic. The 16Rig's two digitally-recallable mic preamps deliver a superb Equivalent Input Noise of -129.5dBu, while the DC-coupled line outputs achieve a dynamic range of 120dB. The speaker outputs push that even further to 126dB, which is the kind of number that makes audio engineers quietly nod in approval.
High-Performance Mic Preamps: Both combo XLR/TRS preamps offer a 72dB gain range with digital recall, independent pad switching, and 48V phantom power — capturing vocals, instruments, and anything else you throw at them with clean, transparent accuracy.
24-Bit AD/DA Converters: Powered by ESS and Cirrus Logic converters, the 16Rig handles playback and recording with noise-free, crystal-clear results across the full signal chain, whether you're tracking synths or monitoring through expensive studio speakers.
DC-Coupled Outputs for CV: All line outputs are DC-coupled, meaning the 16Rig doubles as a control voltage source for modular synthesizers — sending CV and gate signals directly to your Eurorack without any additional hardware between them.
Your Studio Works Even When Your Computer Doesn't
The 16Rig was designed with one radical idea in mind: what if your interface didn't need a babysitter? Full standalone operation means you can power it on, route MIDI between your gear, monitor through your speakers, and run two independent low-latency DSP mixers — all without touching your computer. The front-panel color display keeps everything visible and accessible, and the AudioFuse Control Center software expands that control further when you do decide to bring a laptop into the equation.
Full Standalone Operation: Power up the 16Rig, load a saved preset, and your entire studio routing is instantly restored — no DAW required. This is genuinely useful for noodling sessions, live setups, and anyone who's ever waited three minutes for their computer to stop thinking about itself.
Integrated MIDI Routing: With 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out/Thru, a front-panel USB-A MIDI host port, and a built-in MIDI patchbay, the 16Rig handles complex MIDI routings between controllers, modules, and DAWs entirely on its own terms.
Dual DSP Mixers with MIDI Control: The Main and Cue mixers run at ultra-low latency and can be controlled via MIDI, the front panel, or AudioFuse Control Center — giving you multiple monitor mixes, A/B speaker switching, and a Cue mix that lets you prep the next scene while the audience hears the current one.
The Arturia AudioFuse 16Rig: Built for Rigs That Mean Business
The AudioFuse 16Rig isn't trying to be the simplest interface on the market — it's trying to be the only one you'll ever need. If you're a producer, synth enthusiast, hybrid studio owner, or live electronic performer who's outgrown your current setup, the 16Rig delivers serious I/O depth, audio quality, and flexibility at a price that's hard to argue with. This is the interface built for busy studios that have no time for gear that can't keep up.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AudioFuse 16Rig is purpose-built for electronic musicians, synth-heavy studios, and hybrid producers who need extensive I/O and flexible routing in a single device. It handles everything from multi-synth rigs and modular setups to conventional studio recording with outboard preamps.
Yes, the 16Rig features full standalone operation, meaning it can run its internal mixers, process audio, and route MIDI signals entirely without a computer connected. Saved presets can be recalled instantly from the front panel, making it a capable hub for DAW-less setups and live performance.
All the 16Rig's line outputs are DC-coupled, which allows them to transmit control voltages directly to modular synthesizers and Eurorack systems. No additional hardware or conversion is needed between the interface and your modules.
At base sample rates (44.1/48kHz), the 16Rig presents up to 32 inputs and 26 outputs to your DAW, 16 analog inputs, 16 ADAT channels, plus the analog and ADAT outputs. Channel counts reduce at higher sample rates due to USB 2.0 bandwidth and ADAT limitations.
The 16Rig comes bundled with the Arturia Creative FX Suite, which includes Analog Lab Intro and a collection of premium Arturia FX plugins such as Comp FET-76, Reverb Plate-140, Delay TAPE-201, and Pre 1973, among others. All software is unlocked after registering the unit on Arturia's website.
