Expandable analogue control and output hub
The Arturia AudioFuse X8 OUT is a dedicated ADAT-to-analogue converter designed to expand monitoring, routing, and hardware control within hybrid studio environments. Housed in a compact half-rack format, it provides eight high-quality line outputs with high-quality 24-bit/96kHz DA conversion and wide dynamic range, integrating seamlessly with AudioFuse interfaces such as the AudioFuse Studio and 16Rig. Beyond standard audio routing, the DC-coupled outputs enable CV and gate signals to be generated from a DAW and sent to modular synths or CV-compatible gear, turning the interface into a versatile analogue control hub.

Precision conversion and voltage control
Each output delivers stable and detailed signal reproduction, with high headroom and professional output impedance supporting reliable integration with external processors, monitor systems, and modular rigs. The DC-coupled design supports audio and CV signals, enabling pitch sequencing, parameter modulation, and clock sync directly from a DAW. Word Clock input ensures accurate synchronisation within larger digital systems, while dual optical ADAT connectivity maintains full channel count at supported sample rates.
)
Flexible routing and real-world applications
The AudioFuse X8 OUT expands creative workflows by enabling complex routing scenarios without requiring additional audio interfaces. Extra outputs can drive immersive monitoring configurations, feed parallel hardware effects chains, distribute broadcast mixes, or control multiple synthesizer voices simultaneously. When paired with Arturia's AudioFuse 16Rig or other ADAT-equipped interfaces, the X8 integrates naturally into hybrid setups, allowing audio signals and CV data to coexist within a unified routing environment while maintaining hands-on system flexibility.

About Arturia
Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.
AudioFuse Creative Suite
AudioFuse X8 OUT includes the AudioFuse Creative Suite, featuring a curated selection of Arturia effects inspired by classic studio hardware – such as Pre 1973, Pre V76, Pre TridA, Comp FET-76, Rev PLATE-140, Delay TAPE-201, Chorus JUN-6, Filter MINI, and Phaser BI-TRON – providing studio-quality tools that extend the unit's role from signal capture to full production workflows. Analog Lab Intro adds a curated collection of synthesizer, keyboard, orchestral and hybrid sound presets drawn from Arturia's renowned V Collection, providing immediate access to a wide palette of playable sounds. As bundled software may evolve, the manufacturer's website should be consulted for current details.
