Rank #8 in Best Audio Interface 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Spec Sheets Disagree
Arturia MiniFuse 2 USB-C Audio & MIDI Interface
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Arturia MiniFuse 2 is a compact USB audio and MIDI interface listed at £104.00, and it takes the number 8 spot in this guide. It carries a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 1,180 reviews, and the rating breakdown behind that average is heavily one-sided: 81% five-star against 4% one-star.
Its spec sheet is a good illustration of why this guide exists. The product is called MiniFuse 2, but the listing's Number of Channels field says 1. The same listing quotes a Maximum Sample Rate of 48 KHz, well below the 192 kHz that other interfaces in this guide print on their own sheets, and its Supported Software field says Mac OS while the Operating System field says Windows, macOS. None of that is a verdict on the hardware — it is a reading of the advert, and everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing we carried out.
How those 1,180 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I was looking for a good quality interface for my laptop so I could record away from the studio, and for playing live gigs with software instruments. It had to be small (hence easily portable), with USB and MIDI connections, and have a loopback facility so I could record what I'm hearing back into my DAW. and all this at a reasonable price. The MiniFuse 2 ticked every box - in fact it was the only one I could find that did. Oh, and it's very cute too. Registering the unit with Arturia also gives access to additional software plugins, if you should want them. Highly recommended.”
Verified purchase“Great audio interface that works well with a MacBook Pro 2020.Hooks up decent monitors and sounds good. Great to have an accessible headphone port that is easily controlled.Connects an Arturia MiniLab3 midi keyboard and doesn't seem to have any lag. Input from external audio is also very good and clear”
