Arturia MiniFuse 1 Compact USB-C Audio Interface — 1-In/2-Out, White

Arturia MiniFuse 1: A Compact One-In Recording Interface with a Bright White Finish

The Arturia MiniFuse 1 is a bus-powered USB-C audio interface with a single combo mic/instrument input, capturing 24-bit audio at sample rates up to 192 kHz in a body small enough to slip into a laptop bag. Finished in clean white aluminium, it is aimed squarely at the solo musician, podcaster or content creator who records one source at a time and wants that source to sound its best. A single USB-C cable carries both power and audio, so the whole setup travels light and sets up in seconds wherever you happen to be working. It is the kind of dependable first interface you grow with rather than out of, still earning its place on the desk years into the craft.

Class-Leading Converter Quality: 110 dB Dynamic Range, -129 dB Input Noise

The MiniFuse 1 pairs a 110 dB dynamic range with a -129 dB equivalent input noise specification, numbers usually reserved for interfaces well above the compact single-input class. Equivalent input noise measures the faint hiss the microphone preamp generates on its own, and the lower that figure, the more gain you can apply to a soft vocal or fingerpicked guitar before background noise becomes audible. Dynamic range, meanwhile, defines how much detail sits between the quietest whisper and the loudest peak the converter can hold cleanly, which is what preserves the natural decay of a note or the breath at the end of a phrase. Together they give recordings a professional clarity that becomes more useful, not less, as your productions get more ambitious.

Flexible Combo Input: Microphone, Guitar or Line in One Socket

A single combo jack on the MiniFuse 1 takes an XLR microphone or a 1/4-inch instrument cable, backed by switchable 48V phantom power and an instrument-level setting for direct guitar and bass. Condenser microphones rely on that 48-volt phantom supply to power their capsule, while the instrument switch presents the high input impedance a passive pickup needs so your tone stays full and natural rather than thin and brittle. With 56 dB of available gain and a backlit level knob, the input adapts to a delicate condenser or a loud active pickup with room to spare. For a one-person setup, having a single input that covers every source you own means you never have to think about which cable goes where.

Stereo Loopback Built for Streamers and Podcasters

The interface's stereo loopback channel captures whatever is playing on your computer and makes it available as a recordable, mixable source inside your software. Rather than routing cables between apps, loopback lets the interface treat your system audio — a call guest, a backing track, game sound — as an internal input you can blend with your microphone in a single pass. Streamers use it to fold music and voice into one clean broadcast, podcasters use it to record remote guests at full quality, and producers use it to resample audio from any application. On a single-computer rig it solves a routing headache that otherwise sends people hunting for extra hardware.

Zero-Latency Direct Monitoring While You Track

A Direct Monitor switch sends your incoming signal straight to the outputs in hardware, so you hear your performance the instant you make it. The short delay that software monitoring adds — the time audio spends traveling into the computer and back — is enough to unsettle a vocalist's phrasing or make a guitar feel a beat behind the fingers. Engaging direct monitoring removes that round trip entirely, blending a real-time version of your voice or instrument with the track already playing. The result is a natural, in-the-moment monitoring experience that helps you commit to a confident take instead of chasing an echo.

Onboard USB-A Hub for a Controller or Drive

The MiniFuse 1 adds a powered USB2 Type-A hub port rated at 250 mA, so a class-compliant MIDI controller, pad or USB stick can plug directly into the interface. On a modern laptop with only a couple of ports, that built-in hub frees you from adapters and lets the single cable to your interface double as the connection for the keyboard you play your parts on. Because the port supplies its own power, a compact bus-powered controller runs without a separate adapter or outlet. It keeps a portable white desktop rig tidy, with just one lead heading back to the computer.

Arturia Analog Lab, FX Collection and a Full Production Suite

Registering the MiniFuse 1 unlocks Arturia's Analog Lab Intro, a curated library of more than 500 synth and keyboard sounds pulled from Arturia's award-winning instrument recreations. It arrives with the Arturia FX collection too — the Rev PLATE-140 reverb, Pre 1973 preamp, Delay TAPE-201 and Chorus JUN-6 — studio-grade processors you can add to any track in your project. A streamlined recording DAW, guitar amp-and-effects modeling, a vocal-tuning subscription and a large sample-library plan complete the package so nothing else is needed to write and finish a song. From the first plug-in, the white MiniFuse 1 is a complete little studio rather than just a box that captures audio.
