Arturia AudioFuse X8 IN 8-Channel Analog Input to ADAT Expander

The Arturia AudioFuse X8 IN adds eight channels of analog input to any interface with an ADAT port, converting at 24 bit and up to 96 kHz through AKM converters rated at 119 dB dynamic range and -112 dB THD, in a half rack 1U box.

What it does to an existing interface

Most interfaces have an ADAT optical input that goes unused. The X8 IN fills it with eight line level analog inputs on TRS, which is the cheapest way to go from a two or four input interface to a twelve input one without replacing the interface.

Conversion is 24 bit at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz. At 88.2 and 96 kHz the ADAT standard halves its channel count, so plan the channel maths before committing to a high sample rate.

Converter quality

The A/D converters are premium AKM parts rated at 119 dB dynamic range and -112 dB THD. Those are the figures that decide whether an expander is transparent or whether it becomes the weakest link once eight channels of it are in the mix.

A BNC wordclock input is fitted for synchronisation, which matters as soon as there is a third digital device in the room.

Format

The X8 IN is a 1U half rack unit with removable rack ears, so it either sits on a desk or takes half a rack space beside its partner. The AudioFuse X8 OUT is the matching output expander, giving eight analog outputs from ADAT, and the two together fill one rack unit.
