Desktop or rackmount
The rack ears can face forward to mount in a 19” studio rack, or face down to use the unit as a desktop interface.

Fantastic included software
AudioFuse 8Pre comes with the AudioFuse Creative Suite, accurately recreated vintage preamps and legendary studio effects that will give your music that triple-A studio sound.
