Ferrofish PULSE8 AE 8x AD/DA to 16x ADAT Converter

PULSE8 AE - Overview

• Features:

  • Premium Conversion Architecture: The Pulse8 AE maintains Ferrofish's reputation for exceptional sound quality, delivering crystal-clear conversion up to 192kHz with professional +20dBu headroom.
  • High-Resolution Display: The front mounted display provides detailed level information for all 2 x 8 signals at a glance.
  • Internal Routing Matrix: The PULSE8 provides an internal matrix for the free routing and splitting of all Ins to Outs. It routes to single chanels, stero pairs or groups of four and eight channels. The integrated headphone output on the front can monitor every mono or stereo I/O.
  • Advanced Headphone Monitoring: The dedicated headphone output, powered by a separate ESS DAC, delivers exceptional monitoring capabilities with precise 1dB-step volume control. Four-stage amplification ensures compatibility with any headphone impedance, making it perfect for critical listening and tracking sessions.
  • Visual Monitoring & Metering: The display provides immediate visual feedback of all input and output signals with professional-grade metering and shows the system status at a glance.
  • Full Software Remote Control: The USB-C connection provides instant access to all parameters, while MIDI I/O enables integration into larger systems and ensures easy firmware updates for continued improvement.
