Designed to get straight to the point, the MiniFuse 1 fits the Arturia approach: offering a compact, robust, and easy-to-use USB audio interface without sacrificing the essentials of a real recording setup. This version stands out with a limited edition "Champagne" finish, ideal for personalizing a home studio, streaming station, or mobile production setup while maintaining a premium aesthetic.
The MiniFuse 1 is aimed at musicians who want to record vocals and an instrument, producers looking for a simple interface for composing and editing, as well as content creators (podcasting, voice-over, streaming) who need clear connectivity and immediate setup. Its bus-powered format and USB-C connectivity make it a practical solution for working anywhere, whether with a laptop or a fixed workstation.
Thanks to its Direct Monitor switch, you can monitor your recording directly, which is especially useful for vocal or guitar tracking: you can focus on the performance without being bothered by latency. The headphone output with independent control also simplifies solo takes by allowing you to adjust the level without affecting the speaker volume.
The Micro/Instrument/Line combo input allows you to connect either an XLR microphone, a 6.35 mm jack guitar/bass, or a line source. 48V phantom power is available via a dedicated switch to power condenser microphones, making the interface suitable for detailed vocal takes as well as acoustic instrument recordings.
The MiniFuse 1 features 2 TRS outputs to connect studio monitors, with front-panel volume control. In parallel, the headphone output has an independent adjustment to tailor your listening level depending on the session (recording, editing, mixing). The backlit controls enhance the visibility of essential functions for everyday use.
The LoopBack function facilitates modern workflows: capturing audio from an application, integrating a system source into your software, or routing for online content. The built-in USB hub adds real value in a minimalist setup: connect a MIDI keyboard or USB device without multiplying adapters, handy when working on a laptop and wanting to stay mobile.
To get started immediately, the MiniFuse 1 comes with a set of production and sound-oriented software: Ableton Live Lite for composing and arranging, Analog Lab Intro for access to inspiring sounds, and Guitar Rig LE to explore useful effects and simulations for guitar, bass, or vocals. The USB-C to A cable is included for easy connection to your computer.
