1. WELCOME TO THE AUDIOFUSE X8 IN!

The AudioFuse X8 IN

When Arturia released the AudioFuse USB audio interface in 2017, its features and design
were a revelation to the pro audio world. Every part of its analog and digital signal paths
provided world-class quality, from high-performance preamps to premium A/D and D/A
converters. Even with all these features, it fit into a compact, beautifully-engineered design
that set a new price/performance standard.

Since then, Arturia has expanded its Fuse lineup with other rackmount and desktop
interfaces – from specialized AudioFuse products to smaller MiniFuse interfaces perfect for
smaller studios. All of these products continue our commitment to maximum features for
the money, all with uncompromising sound quality.

The AudioFuse line is designed to grow with you as your interface needs change. Our
newest Fuse units, the AudioFuse X8 IN and X8 OUT, have been created to help with
one of the most common growing pains that electronic musicians face: running out of
analog inputs and outputs. What do you do if you love your current interface (and if it's an
AudioFuse, who

The AudioFuse X8 IN is a half-rackspace unit with 8 balanced line-level inputs on 1/4" TRS,
each with a world-class analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. Output is provided on a pair of
Toslink optical ports using the ADAT digital audio standard, which run at 24-bit resolution
and can operate at sample rates up to 96 kHz. These will provide data to any audio interface
with ADAT inputs. Each input can have a switchable 12 dB Pad for loud input signals, and
pairs of adjacent odd and even inputs can be Linked for easy stereo operation.

In addition to these features, the AudioFuse X8 IN can send clock signals over the ADAT
outputs or receive Word Clock signals via a rear-panel BNC input with switchable
termination. This lets you synchronize your audio interface to the AudioFuse X8 IN directly,
or integrate it with a larger digital audio system using a common Word Clock.

The AudioFuse X8 IN comes in a convenient half-rackspace chassis, complete with one rack
ear and one connector plate. These stay out of the way when using the AudioFuse X8 IN as a
tabletop unit, and can be removed and put into use when attaching it to a second AudioFuse
X8 IN or an AudioFuse X8 OUT 8-channel ADAT-to-line digital-to-analog (D/A) converter unit.
The result is a conventional single-rackspace processor that can be added to any standard
rackmount system.

Simple to set up and seamless to use, the AudioFuse X8 IN is the easiest way to add more
inputs to your audio interface rig – so you can always add that new synthesizer you've had
your eye on! (And then another, and another...!)

Rackmounting

components stored under

the AudioFuse X8 IN

The bottom of the unit has a pair of recessed storage positions, one for a single orange
rack ear and one for a square connecting plate. Each has two mounting screws of the
appropriate size.

Note that the connecting plate has four screw holes but only two screws. The extra holes are used



to connect to a second unit using its supplied screws.

The unit comes with mounting screws especially chosen for this purpose. Don't use other screws,



and carefully follow the directions in this manual. You don't want your new converter to fall out of your

rack, do you?

AudioFuse X8 IN configured for rackmounting

Attach the rack ears and connection plates in the configuration shown above, and the
AudioFuse X8 IN and its companion X8 IN or X8 OUT are ready to slot into your rack.

We recommend rackmounting the AudioFuse X8 units with an open rackspace above or below them,



to assist with keeping them cool during operation.

2.3. Registration

Once you've set u p your hardware, the next part of the process is to register it with Arturia.
Registration will help you if you should need technical support; it's always a good idea to
take a moment and do this before you get started.

Follow the instructions you'll find in the box with your unit to log onto the Arturia website and
register it. You will need a serial number and unlock code, which you will find on the bottom
of the unit.

Registering your AudioFuse X8 IN gives you access to current documentation (including this
User Manual).

3. GETTING TO KNOW THE AUDIOFUSE X8 IN

Before we get started using it, let's take a tour around the AudioFuse X8 IN.

3.1. The Front Panel

The AudioFuse X8 IN front panel

The front panel has the following features:

3.1.1. Channel LEDs

The eight LINE IN channels have LEDs that act as either level meters or as indicators in Edit

Mode [p.9].

3.1.2. Channel selection and function buttons

Under each pair of channel LEDs is one button for a total of four:

• LEFT Arrow: moves control to the previous channel

• RIGHT Arrow: moves control to the next channel

• PAD: turns the Pad function on and off for the selected channel

• LINK: turns the stereo Link function on and off for a pair of adjacent channels

3.1.3. Clock/Sync function buttons

• CLOCK: selects the clock rate (44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz)

• SYNC: selects whether the AudioFuse X8 will accept BNC Word Clock on the rear
panel (WORD) or send its internal clock to your interface over the ADAT Outputs
(INT)

3.1.4. Power button

The round button with the Arturia logo at the far right powers the unit on or off when held
for two seconds. It glows white when the unit is on.

When you power the unit on, all of the front panel LEDs will cycle from left to right. This is the unit's



bootup sequence, and should only take one or two seconds.

3.2. The Rear Panel

The AudioFuse X8 IN rear panel

The AudioFuse X8 IN's rear panel has the following sets of connections.

3.2.1. Power Input

The AudioFuse X8 IN has a locking power connector for the provided 15V / 2A DC power
supply.

Use only the provided supply! Other supplies might damage or destroy the unit, and will void your



warranty.

3.2.2. ADAT Outputs

The two Toslink ADAT optical outputs are used to provide 8 channels of digital audio to your
interface.

• When running at 44.1 or 48 kHz, the left port carries data for all 8 channels.

• When running at 88.2 or 96 kHz, each port carries data for four channels, 1–4 and
5–8.

3.2.3. Word Clock Input

This is a standard BNC connector for Word Clock data provided by an external clock source.
The HiZ switch determines the termination of the connection.

3.2.4. Inputs

These eight 1/4" TRS jacks carry balanced line-level signals into the AudioFuse X8 IN. They
can be used in mono, or configured as up to four stereo pairs per the front-panel LINK
button.

4. USING THE AUDIOFUSE X8 IN

Hooking up your AudioFuse X8 IN and configuring its inputs is a simple process.

4.1. Device connections

Hooking up the AudioFuse X8 IN to your system

1. Connect your analog devices to the rear-panel inputs. If any device has stereo
outputs, be sure to connect them to adjacent odd/even pairs of in puts (1/2, 3/4,
5/6, 7/8). Any other configuration won't work properly with the front-panel Link
buttons.

2. Connect your ADAT optical cables from the ADAT outputs on the AudioFuse X8 IN
to the ADAT inputs on your audio interface.

3. If you're using external Word Clock, attach the BNC cable from your master
clock source. Set the HiZ switch accordingly, as explained in the chapter on

synchronization [p.11].

4. Make sure your interface recognizes the presence of the ADAT in puts and be
sure that its clock/sync settings match how the AudioFuse X8 IN is sending or
receiving clocks. Consult the chapter on sync [p.11] for more details.

5. Consult your device's user manual if things don't seem to be connecting properly.

You're now ready to configure your inputs.

4.2. Input configuration

4.2.1. Channel metering

Each Line In has an LED that operates as a basic signal level meter.

LED meter colors

These LEDs have four color states:

Color Status Value

Off

Green

Orange

Red

The LEDs act as meters whenever the unit is not in Edit Mode.

Ideally, you should set the in put level of your line signals so that the LEDs turn orange on
the highest peaks and never turn red. This assures that your interface is receiving a signal
that's loud but not clipping.

Signal absent below –60 dB

Signal present between –60 dB and –6 dB

Signal hot from –6 dB up to 0 dB

Signal clipped 0 dB and above

Red clip LEDs will reset after 1.5 seconds. They will register clipping even while you're in Edit Mode.



4.2.2. Edit Mode

Pressing any of the four LINE IN function buttons enters Edit Mode. While Edit Mode is active,
you can use the buttons to control the Pad and Link status of each channel.

If you don't touch any button for 3 seconds or longer, the LEDs will revert to their level meter function.



Use the LEFT Arrow and RIGHT Arrow buttons to select inputs. Press to move by one
channel; long-press to cycle through them. The selected input's LED will flash white.

Note Line In 7 still shows clipped status.

Press the PAD button to activate the 12 dB Pad for a given input. The PAD button will light
bright blue and the selected input's LED will flash blue and white.

When you move to another input, the PAD button will return to dim white lighting, but the
previous input's LED will remain blue to show its Pad status.

While in Edit Mode, you can long-press the PAD button to toggle the Pad on and off for all 8 in puts



at once.

4.2.2.2. LINK

Edit Mode: Line IN 3/4 are already linked,

Line in 5/6 are selected and linked. Line In

Press the LINK button to pair adjacent channels (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8). The LINK button will light
bright white and the two inputs' LEDs will flash blue and white. Press again to unlink the
channels.

• You can select either input of a given pair, odd or even, to use the Link function.

• When you select or apply the Pad to Linked inputs, both LEDs will flash and
indicate Pad status together.

You can't Pad only one channel of a Linked pair.

5. SYNCHRONIZATION

The CLOCK and SYNC buttons are used to determine how the AudioFuse X8 IN is
synchronized with other digital audio devices in your studio.

5.1. Why synchronize?

If you've never used two or more devices with digital in puts or outputs before, you might
not understand why sync is such an important issue. Actually, good sync is of critical
importance to good sound.

Every digital audio device has an internal clock that determines where certain audio events
occur in time. The clock runs much faster than the sample rate of the audio you're recording
or playing back, and its precision is vital to the quality of the audio signal. If a clock isn't very
precise, an audible artifact called
clock network strives to have the lowest jitter.

When multiple clocked devices are connected, only one can be the master clock generator,
and the other devices must tightly follow its clock signals. It is vital to make sure that
all digital audio devices in a studio are clocked from the same source, so you don't
introduce clicks, pops, and other audio artifacts that can arise from slightly mismatched
and competing clocks. Generally you'll choose whichever device has the most stable clock
signals to control the others.

When connecting only two devices (e.g. the AudioFuse X8 IN and your interface), the clock
signals can be sent over the ADAT cable connecting them. If more than two devices are in a
network, they must share a Word Clock signal that is transmitted between them on a BNC
cable with a locking connector. One Master unit provides the clock signals for all other units.
In very high-end studios with a lot of digital devices, there will be a standalone Master Clock
box to give the best possible clocking throughout the studio.

BNC cables can be chained from unit to unit in various ways, but they are very sensitive to
pulses that reflect back down the cable from its far end. To prevent this, clock cables must
be

terminated

with a proper resistance value.

jitter

will become part of the signal. Every digital audio

5.2. Internal Sync

Digital audio signals always have some kind of sync data included with them. It's part of
the ADAT optical data stream. When using it, the SYNC button must be set to INT (indicated
with a white LED).

If no BNC cable is connected to the rear panel WCLOCK input, the SYNC button doesn't do anything



– the unit defaults to Internal sync and can't be changed.

*,-*$+ *'-%-$(-+ /'#*('$0,$(' 

5.3. Word Clock Sync

The rear panel BNC WCLOCK port is used to connect the AudioFuse X8 IN to multiple devices
in a digital audio network. The HiZ switch determines how the connection is "seen" by other
devices that are cabled together.

• When the HiZ switch is in the down position, the connection's input impedance is
75 Ohms. This is used when the AudioFuse X8 IN is at the end of a chain of word
clock cables.

• When the HiZ switch is in the u p position, the connection has a very high
impedance, which prevents reflections in all other hookup configurations.

5.3.1. Switching between ADAT and Word Clock

If the AudioFuse X8 IN has a BNC connection, you can switch between it and the ADAT clock
with the SYNC button.

5.3.2. Use case : Sync two AudioFuse X8 IN units with an
AudioFuse 16 Rig

Word clock is a clock signal used to synchronize devices together and can be used as an
alternative to ADAT Sync depending on the devices, setup and needs.

In fact, Word Clock can be used to synchronize as many digital devices in your studio as
devices can be easily chained together.

AudioFuse X8 IN provides a standard BNC connector for Word Clock data coming from an
external clock source.

• In the example below, two AudioFuse X8 IN units have been connected from their
ADAT 1 OUT ports (In 44.1 or 48Khz) to an AudioFuse 16Rig ADAT INs 1 & 2 with the
help of ADAT (Toslink optical) cables to retrieve all their 8 channels.

• A BNC cable has to be connected from the AudioFuse 16Rig Word Clock Output
to the First AudioFuse X8 IN Word Clock Input and from there connected to the
second Word Clock Input with the help of a “T” BNC connector to chain them
together (Doing so will require a “T” along with two BNC cables).

As you can see on the first unit, Word Clock termination switch will have to be set to “HiZ”
and on the second unit, will have to be set to “75 Ohm”.

Here’s an example of “T” connector used for such kind of purpose:

Of course, in such kind of setu p, the main interface (here AudioFuse 16Rig) will have to be
set to Internal clock source and the other interfaces (here AudioFuse X8 INs) set to External
Word clock source with the help of the SYNC button located on the front panel:

If no BNC cable is connected to the rear panel WORD CLOCK input, the SYNC button doesn't do



anything – the unit defaults to Internal sync and can't be changed.

5.4. Sample rates and CLOCK

The CLOCK button selects between four possible sample rates for the audio stream. Press
the button repeatedly to cycle through the options.

• At 44.1 or 48 kHz, all 8 channels can be transmitted down a single ADAT cable.

• At 88.2 or 96 kHz, channels 1–4 are sent down one ADAT cable and channels 5–8
are sent down the other. This operating mode is called S/MUX.

• The sample rate is determined by external Word Clock, and the LED for the old
sample rate will flash if that sample rate changes. Press the CLOCK button to
accept the new sample rate.

• If for some reason the Word Clock signal is lost, the AudioFuse X8 IN will
instantly switch to Internal clock. The Word clock LED will flash. Press the SYNC
button to accept the change in clock source.

• If the Word Clock signal is restored after being lost – for example if the Word
Clock cable is disconnected and then reconnected – Word Clock sync will
automatically be re-established.

5.5. A final note

If all this seems a bit overwhelming, just remember that using multiple Word Clock devices
is a scenario you won't run into very often... at least until your studio has grown to the
point where you'll have experience with these issues. For most small studios, a simple ADAT
connection between the AudioFuse X8 IN and your audio interface, using Internal sync, will
do the job just fine. Consult your interface's user manual to determine how to sync it to the
AudioFuse X8 IN.
