MiniFuse 2 provides the following connections:
-
1/4" jack Inputs (Front): The combo jack(s) accept two different kinds of input - XLR and TRS - allowing you to connect a variety of microphones and instruments into the MiniFuse. The type of input is
determined by the Guitar and 48V switches next to the input. - 1/4" jack Phone output (Front):The 1/4” stereo headphone output can be used for connecting headphones. The headphone output mirrors the Monitor Output but has its own independent volume control.
- 1/4" jack Outputs: These 1/4” balanced stereo outputs can be connected directly to active studio speakers or other devices such as amplifiers and mixers.
- MIDI In: Connect MIDI devices to this jack using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable. Devices connected to this input can be used to trigger and control software instruments and effects.
- MIDI Out: This output allows you to output MIDI data from your computer to control other MIDI-compatible hardware devices.
- Hub: This convenient USB port allows you to plug in other USB devices, like thumb drives or MIDI controllers.
- USB: Connect the interface to your computer by plugging the supplied USB cable into this port and your computer. This connection provides power to the interface and enables communication between the interface and your computer.
Use the included USB-C to USB-A cable to connect the MiniFuse to an available USB port on your computer.
Note that third-party cables are not recommended, please use the supplied cable instead.
Plug the small end of the cable into the smaller USB-C port on the back of the MiniFuse; this port is labelled with a laptop icon.
Yes, you may connect the MiniFuse through a USB hub.
Note that some passive hubs may not supply the power required for the MiniFuse to operate.
For this reason, we recommend that if you need to connect through a hub you use a powered one.
We recommend that you use balanced TRS cables (two rings around the connector) for best experience.
This depends on your instrument.
The most common cables used to connect instruments are:
- Microphone - XLR (3 pin) or 1/4" (TS) cable
- Guitar or bass - 1/4" (TS) cable
- Synthesizers and drum machines - 1/4" TRS cables, or RCA cables with RCA-to-1/4" adapters*.
- DJ Mixers - 1/4" TRS cables, or RCA cables with RCA-to-1/4" adapters*.
* We recommend using TRS (balanced) cables whenever balanced outputs are available from your equipment; this will keep noise as low as possible.
