Turn your creative ideas into content for the world to hear with the white 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.

Q: 2. 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.
Q: 3. Does this record to SD as well?
A: No. This is strictly an interface to your computer or iOS device.
Q: 4. Good Day, can I simultaneous record 4 channel?
A: The only way to use 4 channels at the same time with this interface is to add the adapter in the link bellow https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/981648-REG/zoom_exh_6_dual_xlr_trs_input_capsule.html
Q: 5. Can I power this using an external power supply, so that I can avoid using batteries?
A: Yes, in addition to operating with two AA batteries for power, the Zoom U-44 Portable 4x4 USB Handy Audio/MIDI Interface can be powered via USB bus power or by using a USB battery pack or with a 5V USB wall plug like you would use to charge a smartphone or tablet, and USB cable connected to the micro-USB port on the U-44.
Q: 6. anyone tried to hook this up with new iPad Pro? usb-c to usb-b 2.0?
A: You will need to use the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/897273-REG/Apple_md821zm_a_LIGHTNING_TO_USB_CAMERA.html
Q: 7. Does the headphone out have its own volume control?
A: Yes it does. On the lower portion of the unit are two large dials. The one on the right is the Headphone volume control while the one on the left is the Main Out control.
Q: 8. 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: 9. Can i work with 5.1 sound files conecting this interface to my home theater receiver via optical I/O?
A: That ZoomU-44 is an audio interface used with a computer to turn the analog signal into a digital signal. It is used for recording purposes. Unfortunately it will not work with your 5,1 system.
Q: 10. 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.
