The way to go for everyone using external hardware.
This Arturia 16Rig is hands down one of the best investments I've ever made. Having used a wide array of interfaces over the past 15 years, this one really stands out. Setting it up is a breeze thanks to its intuitive design and clear labeling and unlike other interfaces, there was no need to use the console plugin or read the entire manual first, because the 16Rig's device screen provides all necessary info. It's also extremely user-friendly.
With 16 inputs and 10 outputs, it's ideal for effortlessly connecting multiple synths or effects to your computer. The front inputs and outputs are very well thought of, allowing you to quickly connect any effect/synth or even a phone to your computer.
I can't praise this unit enough, seriously. Thank you, Arturia!

Pure Professional Quality in a Compact Rack Unit
I’ve used many audio interfaces over the years, and the Arturia AudioFuse 16R has easily become one of my favorites. It offers an incredible balance of high-end sound quality, solid build, and flexible I/O – all in a compact, rack-mounted format that fits perfectly into any professional or semi-pro setup.
Sound Quality
The sound is absolutely pristine. The preamps are ultra-clean and transparent, with more than enough gain for any type of microphone or instrument. They’re musical, dynamic, and don’t color the sound — exactly what I want in a high-quality interface.
Connectivity & Workflow
With 16 inputs and 16 outputs, plus ADAT expansion, it integrates flawlessly into my studio. The AudioFuse Control Center software is intuitive and powerful - perfect for managing routing and monitor mixes.
Build & Reliability
Build quality is excellent. The metal chassis feels solid and durable, and the interface runs cool and stable even during long recording sessions. I’ve had zero dropouts or performance issues, even with heavy sessions running multiple tracks and plugins.
Small Caveat
The only minor downside is the lack of S/PDIF connections, which would have been useful for connecting some digital outboard gear I occasionally use. Not a dealbreaker by any means, especially with ADAT available, but worth noting for those who rely on S/PDIF in their setup.
Verdict
The AudioFuse 16R is an absolute workhorse and a true pleasure to use. If you need a reliable, great-sounding, and professional-grade interface with plenty of I/O, this is one of the best options in its price range. Arturia has nailed it — highly recommended.

Works Like an Arturia Dream
I own a couple of Arturia products and I have never been disappointed. The Arturia AudioFuse 16Rig is no different. It does what it says on the tin, whilst being fully supported with Arturia's amazing software capabilities.
Everything is streamlined and "Just works". The build quality of the unit feels solid and gives you trust that you purchased a professional item.
I was also surprised on how a quality interface differentiates in sound from budget interfaces. I was not expecting the sound quality to improve THAT much!

Solid interface for the price!
Can't really fault this interface. UI and hardware build are solid. Only issue is with the rack ears - which I've only got one screw in each due to the provided allen key breaking when installing the ears. The bolt head sizes are so small that the key slips.
Not the biggest issue as it sits on the top of my rack now

For me Perfect
I am very pleased with everything this soundcard offers. For a hobbiest this soundcard has 16 inputs (shame on other companies who has 8), plenty outputs, great software and small neat features like quick release power button brings up Arturia AudioFuse software. The only thing that i miss is a 2nd headphone output with volume control.
Would i buy again ? YES !
Thank you Arturia.
