Arturia Minifuse 4 Black 4x4 USB MIDI Audio Recording Interface+Software

MiniFuse 4 is a four-in, four-out desktop audio and MIDI interface for setups that have outgrown a two-channel box. Two combo mic, instrument, and line XLR inputs with 48V phantom power sit alongside two instrument and line TRS inputs, so a pair of microphones and a stereo keyboard can stay connected at the same time.

Four 1/4 in TRS balanced line outputs with volume control handle monitors and outboard sends, and two stereo headphone outputs with volume control mean an artist and an engineer can both monitor without a splitter. A 5-pin MIDI input and output connect hardware, and two USB2 type A hub ports up to 250 mA each take controllers or USB devices. A stereo virtual loopback channel records computer audio.

Conversion quality is the reason to care: a 110 dB dynamic range and a class-leading equivalent input noise of -129 dB mean quiet sources come back clean instead of buried in hiss.

The chassis is rugged aluminium, compact enough to travel and solid enough to survive it. USB-C connects to PC or Mac and is fully USB 2.0 compatible, and the MiniFuse Control Center app manages inputs, outputs, settings, and firmware updates in one place.

Included software covers Analog Lab Intro with 500 vintage and modern keyboard presets and Ableton Live Lite, plus tutorials and complimentary introductions to audio and mixing services. The unit measures 9.8 x 3.3 x 1.65 in and weighs 2.5 lb.
