The new model has redesigned circuitry for its four DiscretePRO microphone preamplifiers, offering up to 72 dB gain, a very low noise level of -129 dBu and a dynamic range of 119 dB. This provides a clean, high-quality signal even with low-output microphones. An improved built-in Bluetooth module supports more codecs, including AAC, aptX, aptX HD and aptX Low Latency.

Other improvements cover the internal clock system and power regulation circuitry. These provide more stable Word Clock synchronisation and more reliable computer connection with AudioFuse Control Center software. The updated version also fixes USB data transmission errors found in early batches of the original AudioFuse Studio.
