Turn your creative ideas into content for the world to hear with the black Arturia MiniFuse 4, a portable 4x4 USB Type-C audio/MIDI interface that combines great sound with operational simplicity and a robust software bundle. With its two low-noise mic/line/instrument preamps, the MiniFuse 4 helps singer-songwriters, musicians, sound designers, podcasters, and online creators get clean, quality recordings.
Despite the MiniFuse 4's compact size, it provides plenty of connectivity. In addition to dual XLR-1/4" combo inputs, there are two 1/4" line inputs and four 1/4" line outputs, as well as a pair of headphone outputs with individual volume controls. The interface also includes traditional 5-pin MIDI sockets for integrating MIDI gear and a built-in USB 2.0 Type-A hub that's perfect for hooking up a keyboard controller. The bundled software titles—Ableton Live Lite, Analog Lab Intro, Native Instruments GUITAR RIG 6 LE, Arturia FX, and more—deliver loads of interesting sounds and cool effects, plus a highly capable and popular music production DAW.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does the MiniFuse go into standby when the computer is put to sleep, or do the LEDs stay on all the time unless you unplug the USB cable?
A: The Arturia MiniFuse 2 Portable 2x2 USB Type-C Audio/MIDI Interface will remain on as long there is voltage sent from the computer's USB port to the interface. When the computer goes to sleep, the interface will eventually shut down as well and the LEDs will also turn off.
Q: 2. How do you control the levels for the RCA Line Outputs? Do you use the same "Main Out" knob for adjusting your speakers?
A: The level of the RCA Line Outputs on the U-24 cannot be adjusted.
Q: 3. Does anyone know whether or not this will work with current Silicon macs? I have the Mac Studio M2 Max.
A: Yes, it is compatible with Silicon Chip Macs.
Q: 4. Will this work with an iPhone?
A: This product is not designed for use with an iPhone. It can be used to connect to your Mac or Windows computer, or iPad* via USB, to record with mics, instruments, and more.
Q: 5. Does this record to SD as well?
A: No. This is strictly an interface to your computer or iOS device.
Q: 6. How do you monitor levels or change settings without a display?
A: This interface is specifically designed for use with a DAW. There are manual knobs and LED indicators to indicate clipping and usable/normal levels.
Q: 7. Does this come with the EXH-6 attachment? The description is confusing. It says 4 inputs but the base unit only has 2, but allows for the EXH-6 attachment to get 4.
A: The U-44 does not include the attachment for the extra two microphone channels. I have not purchased that to try yet, but the connector on the bottom of the unit works with the microphone that comes with the H6. I think those are the same type of Zoom microphone connector standard.
Q: 8. Are the stereo RCA Line Outputs meant for connecting a Headphone Amp to drive 300+ Ohm Headphones?
A: It can be used for this purpose!
Q: 9. Does this come with a USB-A to USB-C cable? Or any cable?
A: A 3 foot USB-C to USB-A cable is included.
