Arturia Minifuse 1 Black Portable Solo Audio USB Recording Interface+Software

MiniFuse 1 is a portable solo audio interface for songwriting, demos, and podcast recording. One combo XLR input takes microphone, instrument, or line signals with switchable 48V phantom power, which covers a condenser mic, a guitar, or a synth output without changing hardware.

Monitoring is straightforward. Two 1/4 in TRS balanced line outputs with volume control feed studio monitors, a stereo headphone output has its own level control, and a Direct Monitor switch removes latency when you are tracking vocals or guitar.

Two features stand out at this size. A USB2 type A hub port up to 250 mA lets you connect a MIDI controller or another USB device through the interface, saving a laptop port. A stereo virtual loopback channel captures computer audio directly, which matters for streaming, podcast interviews, and screen recordings.

The USB-C connection works with PC and Mac and is fully USB 2.0 compatible, and the unit is bus powered, so no external supply is needed. Arturia backs the range with a five-year hardware warranty after over 200 reliability tests per unit.

Included software covers the whole chain: Analog Lab Intro with 500 vintage and modern keyboard presets, Ableton Live Lite, and four Arturia effects, Rev PLATE-140 reverb, Pre 1973 preamp, Delay TAPE-201, and Chorus JUN-6. The black unit measures 6 x 3.9 x 1.65 in and weighs 0.9 lb.
