MiniFuse 2, 2in / 2out USB-C Audio Interface with 2 Mic/Line/Instrument Preamps, Built-in USB Hub, Loopback and Included Software Bundle - Mac/PC (White)

The Arturia Minifuse 2 gives a superb flat response. The audio input quality is crystal clear and crisp which is quite unexpected at this price range. My room is not acoustically treated but the voice which I get after recording does not contain any external noise or hiss which is audible to human ears. The output volume (i.e. the volume which is coming out of your computer such as music/ songs/etc.) is not that loud (I use Eris 3.5" Studio Monitors), but is soothing to your ears even if you turn in to full (5 o’clock position). The headphones (I use AKG K52 Wired Over Ear Headphones) output is quite good. For listening to your vocals while recording you need to boost your voice using compressors from your DAW. (I use Nuendo 4). The software bundle which comes with this interface are useful only if you use new updated DAWs (64bit DAWs). The VST plug-ins which comes with Arturia Minifuse 2 does not work with Nuendo 4. The Arturia input sound checking software (Minifuse Control Centre) is of great help to fix the gain of your microphone/ instruments. You can turn the the 48V on/off from the computer without physically pressing the button on your Minifuse 2 interface, which is a great feature. The gain level of the microphone (condenser or dynamic) is quite good as compared to many other interfaces in the market. If you keep the knob at 11 o'clock position, the input signal sounds perfectly fine (I use sE Electronics X1 A Professional Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone) and input level does not clip at all. You can also check from the Minifuse Control Centre that your input voice is clipping or not. (**Clipping means if the voice you hear from the output of your speakers is hitting the max upper limit and is distorting or is unclear. It is said to be a good output if your voice which comes out of the speakers are smooth, clear and crisp. The easiest way to understand this is by noticing the blue lights on the gain knobs in your Arturia Minifuse 2. If it turns red, it means the audio input is clipping.) Coming to the knobs, they are quite sturdy and give a premium feel as they are rubberized. The Direct monitor button is an additional plus point to the Arturia minifuse 2. If you turn that on, you can hear on both your earphones which really helps a lot while monitoring. As a whole, this is a wonderful device and must be purchased if you are a music lover like me and want to have your own home studio. It is undoubtedly a professional device. The loopback feature is another plus point to the device. It helps you to record the audio on your computer, which is very useful if you intend to record something you hear on the computer. Last but not the least, if your room is prone to dust, do not purchase the “White” colour Minifuse 2 as it will get dirty in few days of use. A USB-C to USB A cable comes with the device which is good for low latency. The latency which is there is quite low and will not be a problem while monitoring. Try to lower the sample rate if you want low latency, but it will hardly matter if you are using it for your home studio. Stay musical. Indranil Banerjee (from Kolkata, India)

I love it ❣️ Even the packaging is really sturdy on this one - Arturia Brand packaging + Seller's bubble wrap + Amazon's Cardboard Box + One Fragile Sticker at the top ( Yes the product is really fragile ) 😀 I've made a research and came to the point that up until Aug 2023 and at this price point This Minifuse 2 audio interface is the best in class📍 Pros : 1) Solid build quality ( Many people are saying is build quality is not so good but you'll feel premium quality, Arturia is not a cheap brand ) 2) Low noise preamp 3) If you are using a condenser microphone you'll able to drive the mic even with the gain knob set to arround 50% which is really good Because this Minifuse 2 ( or even Minifuse 1 ) has 50 dB of maximum system gain and 56 Db of gain range ( Yes two are different ) For reference the Presonus studio 24C has 46 Db of maximum system gain ( For that I had to set the gain arround 80% to get a healthy signal of -12dBfs 4) Can drive 250 ohm headphones 5) Haven't tried the line outputs, but they are generally good 6) Direct monitor mix knob ( Handy for vocal recordings ) 7) 5 Years warranty 8) Usable software package ( Haven't tried yet ) Cons: 1) The frequency response at maximum gain is not flat, Like it'll be 3db roll off at around 18K and above at max gain 2) Channel balance is 1.5A, Which means if you have your headphone knob at tge lowest possible level you'll hear different volume on your left and right headphones of 1.5dB difference But this isn't that bad because you'll turn your knob at arround 50% or above for 250 ohm headphones and 25% and above for 32 ohm 3) Arturia control software is buggy ( Blinking everytime ) These cons aren't that big con to be honest Now, If you are a music producer and songwriter and singer or pro musician you should get the Minifuse 2 rather than the one because of the two inputs and the monitor mix knob But if you don't want to hear youself with the beat while recording ( Can be possible by turning the gain down on the beat to match the vocal recording level ) and only ever need one input go for the Minifuse 1 But I'll still suggest to invest in Minifuse 2, Value for money 💰 Anyways, Hope you like my review ( If you have any questions please ask I'll try to answer ) This is my review after 5 days of testing and I will keep the review updated This review is done on 22 Aug 2023

This is a genuine review after using arturia minifuse..i think this is just amazing product Very high standard audio interface in very low price....unfortunately the piece i have recieved there is some problem in volume controlar knob and there is no replacement policy so I have to return back as well as it is not support with my samsung devices . But in my pc ..... It's just wow ....

A beautiful, easy to use and perfect audio interface. This first time when I am using any audio interface still it was very easy to setup and use. The sound quality and clarity is good. Value for money product.

The Arturia MiniFuse 2 is an outstanding audio interface that punches well above its weight. The build quality is excellent, with a sturdy and professional feel. The preamps are clean and detailed, making it perfect for vocals, instruments, or podcasts. One standout feature is the loopback functionality—an absolute game changer for content creators, streamers, and anyone doing live tutorials or podcasts. It lets you easily route system audio back into your DAW or streaming software without extra cables or apps. Setup was quick, and it integrates seamlessly with my DAW. The extra USB hub on the back is also a great convenience. Overall, this is a feature-rich, reliable, and high-quality interface that's perfect for both beginners and experienced users. Highly recommended!

One of the best audio interface. Excellent quality. Iam using from last 2 years and never had any glitch. One improvement scope is that it should have an on-off switch. Now you have to disconnect usb chord everytime.

Amazing product..good packaging

Back in lockdown I needed to do a lot of online work where audio was important and I made a swift purchase of a Behringer audio interface. Whilst it worked ok I was plagued by hum which I couldn't easily cover (and I think was due to the PSU) so after the immediate need passed I diched that interface and did some more research. I'm so pleased I finally settled on this Arturia USB interface. The audio is crystal clear, and the software straightforward. I particularly like the fact you can install the software on up to 5 devices - since I can use it on both my desktop or my laptop. The size of the interface makes moving it around a breeze. This is particularly useful for me because it means I can use it as a MIDI interface with the laptop and take it to the digital piano in the other room. All told, no complaints - well made, great performance. I use it with an AudioTechnica AT2020 (https://amzn.to/3C0U9Xi) with which I am also very happy.

Bueno os cuento un poco, despues de querer dar un paso mas con una interface superior, ya que la que tenia era muy basica, estaba dudando entre comprarme la arturia minifuse 1 y la scarlett solo 3rd. Me decidi por la scarlett pero por un problema con el envio me devolvieron el dinero, y decidi comprarme la arturia minifuse, por aquello de bueno aun tengo la oprtunidad de comprar la arturia, me decidi y acerte de lleno. El vendedor muy amable, que por cierto es el mismo el que vendia ambas, sin problemas con el envio y devolucion del importe. Bueno respecto a la interface, suena increible, los potenciometros son muy firmes y de calidad, estan duretes lo que indica que son buenos. El cuerpo es metalico con patas de goma que gracias a su peso no se mueve, pero es lo suficientemente ligera y pequeña para transportarla, aunque yo la tengo estacionaria. Suena bastante alto y muy nitido, incluso practicamente al maximo de volumen. Como aporte extra y se puede apreciar en la foto, el conector de la la entrada de instrumento o microfono es de la marca Amphenol lo que indica que los componentes utilizados para fabricarla son de calidad. Queria añadir, que esta interface posee ajuste independiente del volumen de los auriculares, lo que resulta muy practico, algo que no tiene la scarlett solo 3rd. En fin muy contento con la compra. He compuesto mi home estudio con La interface Arturia minifuse1, Monitores Mackie mr524 (Brutales), y cables TRS Roland Black series, y se obtienen muy buenos resultados a precio contenido. Todo ello lo compre en Amazon a muy buen precio.

Jättebra!!

Received as expected. Product is great, and all components seem to be working as expected. Product was recognised when I registered it on Arturia's site. Feels solidly built and quite usable. Management software is also quite intuitive to use. The software package that is included with it is AMAZING (the reason why I waited for this product): - - Ableton Live Lite [DAW] - Analog Lab Intro [Synths] - Guitar Rig 6 LE [Guitar Effects] - Some useful plugins for vocal processing and effects) - Splice subscription (3 months) [Clips] - Auto-Tune Unlimited subscription (3 months)

Nice product, perfect
