On this page you'll find a ranking of the best Ferrofish products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.
1. Ferrofish Pulse16 MX
The Pulse16 MX from Ferrofish is a highly advanced audio interface designed as a 16 x 16 channel AD/DA converter. It offers outstanding audio quality with a maximum sample rate of 192 kHz and a 24-bit audio resolution. The device is equipped with 16 balanced analog TRS connectors that support a studio level of up to +20 dBu. The integration of digital interfaces such as Dante, ADAT, and MADI allows for flexible and versatile use in various audio applications. The Dante interface provides a redundant connection via two RJ45 ports and enables the transmission of 64 x 64 channels, significantly simplifying integration into networks. The routing matrix of the Pulse16 MX allows for individual signal distribution in groups of 8 channels, making it easier to adapt to specific requirements. With its compact design of just 1U, the Pulse16 MX is ideal for use in professional studios and live environments.
- 16 x 16 balanced analog TRS connectors with studio level up to +20 dBu
- Maximum sample rate of 192 kHz and 24-bit audio resolution
- Integrated Dante interface with 64 x 64 channels
- Flexible routing matrix for individual signal distribution
- Modular MADI connection for expanded channel count.
2. Ferrofish Pulse8 AE
The Ferrofish Pulse8 AE is a versatile and compact AD/DA converter. It can be easily integrated into studio or live setups and offers precise and clean signal conversion with 8 high-quality, balanced analog inputs and outputs. It features the same high-quality converter technology as its larger counterpart and provides 8x8 balanced analog I/O as well as comprehensive ADAT connectivity up to 192 kHz.
With its clear display and simple controls, the Pulse8 AE brings high-quality conversion and routing functions in studio quality to any professional workflow, whether in a home studio or during live performances. Every detail, from the reliable clock to the high-quality ESS converters, ensures top-notch audio quality in a versatile and space-saving design.
3. Ferrofish Pulse16 DX
The analog inputs and outputs of this “+24dBu” version can receive and send levels of up to +24dBu instead of +20dBu. The PULSE16 converts 16 x 16 symmetrical analog inputs and outputs in studio quality with up to 96kHz in ADAT and MADI I/O. As a cost-effective and mature interface, ADAT is already widely available – expanding your studio with the PULSE16 to include 16 x 16 analog channels is therefore a straightforward process. Additionally, the existing 32x32 ADAT channels can be routed to and from the MADI and DANTE channels alongside the analog channels.
The low-latency A/D-D/A converters, accompanied by a temperature-compensated clock and a jitter reduction PLL, ensure the best crystal-clear sound. All of this is packed into a compact 1U unit, delivering SMPTE-compliant studio levels of up to +24dBu, individually adjustable in 1dB steps, brought to a total of 32 jack connections. Thanks to the 4 x 4 ADAT interfaces, 16 x 16 channels can also be converted at 96kHz without a reduced channel count – or through the 64 x 64 MADI and DANTE channels, which reduce to 32 x 32 channels at 96k.
Configuring the device is a breeze thanks to the two TFT screens. There’s no need to consult the manual; all information is clearly displayed on the screens. Remote control via MIDI is also possible thanks to the free RemoteFish app.
The headphone output can reproduce almost any analog or digital input or output: ideal for quick signal monitoring.
