Ferrofish Pulse16 DX

The analog inputs and outputs of this “+24dBu” version can receive and send levels of up to +24dBu instead of +20dBu. The PULSE16 converts 16 x 16 symmetrical analog inputs and outputs in studio quality with up to 96kHz in ADAT and MADI I/O. As a cost-effective and mature interface, ADAT is already widely available – expanding your studio with the PULSE16 to include 16 x 16 analog channels is therefore a straightforward process. Additionally, the existing 32x32 ADAT channels can be routed to and from the MADI and DANTE channels alongside the analog channels.

The low-latency A/D-D/A converters, accompanied by a temperature-compensated clock and a jitter reduction PLL, ensure the best crystal-clear sound. All of this is packed into a compact 1U unit, delivering SMPTE-compliant studio levels of up to +24dBu, individually adjustable in 1dB steps, brought to a total of 32 jack connections. Thanks to the 4 x 4 ADAT interfaces, 16 x 16 channels can also be converted at 96kHz without a reduced channel count – or through the 64 x 64 MADI and DANTE channels, which reduce to 32 x 32 channels at 96k.

Configuring the device is a breeze thanks to the two TFT screens. There’s no need to consult the manual; all information is clearly displayed on the screens. Remote control via MIDI is also possible thanks to the free RemoteFish app.

The headphone output can reproduce almost any analog or digital input or output: ideal for quick signal monitoring.
