PULSE-16-MX - Overview

The PULSE16MX is the high-quality solution to connect a wide range of Analog, MADI and ADAT equipment to a mixer or a computer interface - with up to 192 kHz.

The high-density converter provides 16 x 16 balanced analog TRS-I/Os and can handle pro studio levels up to +20dBu - adjustable in 1 dB steps. The PULSE16 is using the recent high-performance low-latency converter generation from Cirrus Logic. Combined with a temperature-compensated high-precision clock and an active jitter reduction hardware design, the 226-channel MX delivers an exceptional detailed sound.

On the digital side, the multi-format device provides an optical MADI I/O with 64 I/Os. 2 x 4 ADAT ports can convert all 16 analog I/Os - even with up to 96 kHz.

The Pulse16MX incorporates a Word Clock I/O and a MIDI I/O for embedding signals and remote control of the unit. Many popular features from the flagship A32 have been added as well: Preset Management, Panel Lock and the sophisticated routing matrix.

All in all the fan-less, small footprint device is a huge problem solver for studio and live sound applications.

  • Features:

    • Routing Matrix: The internal matrix allows the free routing and splitting of all 112 Inputs to all 112 Outputs in blocks of 8 channels; This matrix is shown as a grid inside the ROUTING menu. The inputs are shown in the columns, while the rows represent the outputs. A solid square between these lines indicates a connection; The matrix is saved within the device presets and can be recalled at any time
    • Direct Headphone Monitoring: The headphone output on the front allows it to monitor every mono or stereo I/O directly from the unit - no additional device or DAW interface is necessary; The headphones signal can be easily selected via a dedicated source control on the TFT display
    • Fully. Guided. Control.
    • Two high-resolution TFT displays provide complete control of all features:
      Detailed level information for all 2 x 16 signals at a glance
