Manufacturer's Description from Ferrofish
Convert with style: Maximum quality. Most affordable.
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 Cirrus Logic 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.
Configuring the device is a breeze thanks to the two TFT screens. No need to consult the manual, every information is displayed clearly on the screens. Remote control via MIDI and MADI is also possible.
The headphone can be connected to any analog or digital input or output: ideal for control or monitoring.
If your studio grows, the PULSE16 grows with it: MADI I/O can be added via a MADI-SFP module together with an upgrade of the firmware. The PULSE16 then becomes a full-fledged PULSE16 MX.
Upgrade your studio: the best you can connect your ADAT lightpipes to.
Internal Routing Matrix
All 48 x 48 analog and digital channels of the Pulse16 are brought together in groups of 8 using the internal routing matrix. For easy monitoring, any channel, mono or stereo, can be selected for headphone output.
Dual TFT Screens
Keep track of all 32 analog channels at any time: Everything is shows clearly on two TFT screens. Status information and all functions are presented clearly and intuitively, so no need to consult the manual anymore. Gone are the days of blinking LED‘s and incomprehensible operation!
Optional MADI Upgrade
The PULSE16 has a SFP port which can be used to upgrade to MADI. By adding the SFP module and upgrading the firmware, the unit turns into a fully equipped Pulse16 MX, including 192kHz operation.
Pulse16 INPUTS & OUTPUTS: 16 ANALOG I/O, 32 ADAT I/O, 2 HEADPHONES OUT
- 16 x 16 BALANCED TRS: balanced analog I/O, max 192kHz Gain/Levels: -8dBu…+20dBu (1dB steps).
- 4 x 4 ADAT TOSLINK: Each ADAT port transfers eight channels at a sample rate of 48kHz (= 32 In + 32 Out).
- PHONES STEREO TRS (FRONT): Monitoring of every stereo/mono I/O via an additional stereo DAC.
- Word Clock I/O: BNC with 75 Ohm internal termination. On/Off via display.
- MIDI I/O: For Remote Control and MIDI-over-MADI (with installed MADI module).
- SFP PORT: Optional MADI module. For Multimode or Singlemode MADI SFP with optical LC connector.
