Ferrofish Pulse 16 DX Dante 16x16 AD/DA Converter Multimode w/ MADI & ADAT

The PULSE16 DX redefines what a 16 x 16 channel AD/DA converter can achieve in professional audio applications. This studio-grade powerhouse operates at sample rates up to 192kHz and features an extensive array of digital interfaces including ADAT, MADI, and Dante connectivity. The sophisticated routing matrix handles signals in groups of 8 channels, bringing together analog, ADAT, and MADI equipment into one cohesive unit. The integrated Dante interface provides 64 x 64 channels with redundant implementation via dual RJ45 sockets, connecting the device seamlessly to network infrastructure.

Housed in a compact 1HU chassis, the unit boasts 16 x 16 balanced analog TRS connections supporting studio levels up to +20dBu, with individual 1dB step adjustments available. Low Latency Cirrus Logic converters work alongside a temperature-compensated clock and jitter reduction PLL to ensure pristine audio quality. The 4 x 4 ADAT ports provide sufficient bandwidth for all 16 x 16 analog signals at 96kHz, or accommodate 32 x 32 channels at 48kHz sampling rates.

MADI connectivity adds another 64 x 64 channels through a modular SFP connection system, allowing different MADI standards including Singlemode options by simply swapping modules. Configuration becomes straightforward with dual TFT screens that display all necessary information without requiring manual consultation. Remote control capabilities via MIDI and MADI are built-in, while the headphone output can monitor any analog or digital input or output. This fanless, compact solution serves as the ultimate multi-format conversion tool for studio, live sound, broadcast, and recording applications requiring high-end performance within Dante networks.
