Description

The Ferrofish Pulse16 MX is a 1 RU rackmount 16-channel AD/DA converter offering analog, MADI, and ADAT I/O, for tracking and mixing engineers in recording studios, houses of worship, broadcast trucks, and concert venues. With 24-bit / 192 kHz Cirrus Logic converters, a TCXO internal clock, and an active jitter-elimination circuit, it delivers accurate high-resolution audio. Interface a variety of equipment via the 16 balanced 1/4" TRS inputs/outputs, four ADAT optical inputs/outputs, and optical MADI I/O. The front-panel 1/4" headphone output features digitally controlled volume and an assignable mono or stereo source. BNC jacks provide wordclock I/O for proper synchronization with other digital equipment such as master-clock generators, additional converters, and digital consoles. Remote control of the Pulse16 MX is possible through the MIDI 5-pin ports, which also support MIDI-over-MADI embedding and extracting. Display and modification of device settings, meters, and routing are achieved via the dual color TFT screens and three front-panel controls. The Pulse16 MX includes an external power supply and a MADI cable. Read more

About the Ferrofish Pulse16 MX Rackmount 16-Channel A/D-D/A ADAT Converter with MADI

The Ferrofish Pulse16 MX Rackmount 16-Channel A/D-D/A ADAT Converter with MADI is a professional-grade multichannel audio conversion system designed for recording studios, broadcast facilities, live sound environments, and high-end production setups. Combining 16 channels of balanced analog input/output, ADAT connectivity, and MADI digital networking, the Pulse16 MX provides a flexible solution for integrating analog equipment with modern digital audio systems.

The unit features high-quality 24-bit conversion up to 192 kHz using Cirrus Logic converter technology, along with a temperature-compensated precision clock and active jitter reduction hardware for stable and accurate audio performance. Its compact 1RU rackmount design makes it suitable for space-efficient studio installations and mobile production systems requiring high channel density.

With MADI support up to 64 channels and multiple ADAT optical interfaces, the Pulse16 MX provides extensive routing flexibility between analog consoles, digital mixers, audio interfaces, and recording systems. The integrated FPGA-based routing matrix allows independent channel management, while front-panel TFT displays and headphone monitoring provide convenient control and status monitoring.
