  • ADAT can be switched to S/PDIF with built-in sample rate conversion
  • 64 channels of MADI over either an optical or a coaxial connection
  • Word clock I/O keeps your entire digital system in perfect synchronization
  • MIDI I/O and MIDI-over-MADI for embedding signals and remote control
  • Headphone output with integrated monitoring matrix for mono, stereo, and sub-mix signals
  • Low-latency Cirrus Logic technology ensures rock-solid clocking, superior jitter reduction, and ultra-detailed sound
  • SHARC DSP with floating-point calculation and 80-bit-wide accumulator processes on all channels
  • The Ferrofish A32 Pro takes the Swiss army knife approach, netting you 32 channels of AD/DA and ADAT conversion, plus 64 channels of MADI I/O — 258 channels total — all at up to 192kHz. This high-quality multi-format converter boasts low-latency technology from Cirrus Logic for rock-solid clocking, superior jitter reduction, and ultra-detailed sound. The A32 Pro supports ADAT, along with robust MADI implementation, plus word clock I/O, MIDI I/O, and MIDI-over-MADI. This high-density unit vaunts top-shelf preset management, SHARC DSP, and sophisticated routing and mixing of all its channels. What's more, its intuitive one-knob control operating system, onboard help system, and four easy-to-read TFT screens make navigation a snap. A flexible headphone output and redundant power inputs round out the A32 Pro's impressive feature set. The A32 Pro is destined to become the potent centerpiece of your studio, live-sound rig, or outside broadcast van.

    Jam-packed with powerful I/O
    This flexible multi-format converter includes 32 channels of balanced analog I/O in D-sub format, with levels up to +20dBu, adjustable in 1dB steps. You get 32 channels of optical ADAT I/O at up to 96kHz that can be switched to S/PDIF, complete with built-in sample rate conversion. You get 64 channels of MADI over either an optical or a coaxial connection. Word clock I/O is also included, along with MIDI I/O and MIDI-over-MADI for embedding signals and remote control. To top it off, the A32 Pro comes with a headphone output with an integrated monitoring matrix for mono, stereo, and sub-mix signals.

    High-end Cirrus Logic AD/DA

    The Ferrofish A32 Pro is loaded with high-performance Cirrus Logic converters, yielding you super-low latency and ultra-clear sound quality. You also get a temperature-compensated, high-precision clock and a proprietary active jitter reduction circuit for rock-solid performance and exceptional detail. Beyond that, this state-of-the-art unit includes a SHARC DSP with floating-point calculation and 80-bit-wide accumulator processes on all the unit's 258 channels for unprecedented accuracy.

    Teeming with convenient features
    Getting around the A32 Pro is easier than one might think. For starters, its intuitive one-knob control operating system and multilingual self-explaining, always-on help system permits you to use it without fumbling through a manual. You also get time-saving preset management and sophisticated routing and mixing of all channels. You'll also appreciate the A32 Pro's four TFT screens, which provide a detailed, at-a-glance overview of your settings and levels. You also get redundant power outputs for extra peace of mind.
