Ferrofish Pulse16 Rackmount 16-Channel A/D-D/A ADAT Converter

$1,099.00 - $1,199.00

The Ferrofish Pulse16 is a 1 RU rackmount 16-channel AD/DA converter offering analog and ADAT I/O for tracking and mixing engineers in recording studios, houses of worship, broadcast trucks, and concert venues. With 24-bit / 96 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 and four ADAT optical inputs/outputs. The SFP I/O port allows you to upgrade to MADI capability when you're ready to expand. 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 is possible through the MIDI 5-pin ports, which (with the optional MADI upgrade) 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 includes an external power supply.

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

The PULSE16 converts 16 x 16 studio-grade balanced analog inputs and outputs up to 96kHz to ADAT I/O. As a cost-effective and mature interface, ADAT is already available almost everywhere – so expanding your studio with the PULSE16 by 16 x 16 analog channels is done in a few steps.

The Low Latency converters, accompanied with a temperature-compensated clock and jitter reduction PLL, guarantees best crystal clear sound. All this packed in a compact 1HU, the PULSE16 delivers studio levels of up to +20dBu, individually adjustable in 1dB steps, brought to 32 TRS connectors. Thanks to the 4 x 4 ADAT interfaces, 16 x 16 channels can still be converted without any problems even at 96kHz.
