  • Your Swiss Army Knife Multi-format Converter
    The Ferrofish Pulse16 DX packs a high-density array of I/O totaling 354 channels, letting you connect and route a wide range of analog, MADI, ADAT, and Dante gear with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution. The Pulse16 DX is equipped with 16 balanced analog inputs and outputs along with ADAT and MADI interfaces. In addition, the Pulse16 DX offers two RJ45 ports for integration into a Dante audio network with 64 channels of Dante/AES67 I/O. With its versatile feature set and impressive array of formats, the Ferrofish Pulse16 DX is a major problem solver for studio and live sound applications.

    Networked audio with format conversion
    The Pulse16 DX not only lets you integrate all 16 analog inputs and outputs into your network, but it also provides format conversion between various digital interfaces. Word clock and MIDI I/O are included for embedding signals and remote control, as well as popular features from Ferrofish’s flagship A32, including preset management, panel lock, and a sophisticated routing matrix. We’re quite impressed with how well spec’d the Pulse16 DX is, considering its compact, fan-less, 1U chassis and its budget-friendly price tag. All things considered, the Ferrofish Pulse16 DX is a great choice wherever high-end, multi-format conversion and networked audio is required: recording and broadcast studios, performance venues, educational facilities, houses of worship, and more.

    High-quality converters and clocking
    The Pulse16 DX’s high-density rear panel provides 16 x 16 analog I/O on balanced TRS connectors. Combined with a high-precision, temperature-compensated clock, active jitter reduction, and high-quality Cirrus Logic 24-bit/192kHz converters, the Pulse16 DX delivers an exceptionally detailed sound. On the digital side, the multi-format device provides optical MADI I/O with up to 64 channels of I/O. The ADAT TOSlink ports can convert all 16 analog channels up to 96kHz. Add to that 64 x 64 channels of Dante/AES67 to its already-impressive array of formats, and the Pulse16 DX is truly the Swiss Army knife multi-format converter for your studio or live sound rig.
