16-Channel Analog<> MADI / ADAT Converter
Product Overview
The Ferrofish Pulse16 MX +24 is an extremely cost-effective AD/DA converter with 16 channels of balanced analog inputs and outputs, 4 ADAT inputs and outputs, and 64 audio transmission channels, designed for stable, uncompromised performance in a professional studio and live situations. It is an extremely good deal AD/DA converter with MADI optical inputs and outputs, and in addition to the features of the Pulse16 MX, it offers a maximum reference level setting of +24 dBu.
Combined with the MADI audio interface, it can be used to build multi-channel recording and playback systems for spatial audio and other applications.
Up to four Pulse16 MXs can be used with MADI to create a multi-channel recording and playback system. Up to four Pulse16 MXs can be chained together using MADI. Up to four Pulse16 MXs can be chained together using MADI to provide 64 analog inputs and 64 outputs at 48 kHz. Up to four Pulse16 MXs can be connected in a tape chain using MADI to transmit 64 analog inputs and 64 outputs at 48 kHz. The Pulse16 MX can also transmit 64 analog inputs and 64 outputs at 48 kHz.
Excellent Sound Quality
The Pulse16 MX +24, which supports up to 192 kHz, delivers true-to-life sound quality with a high resolution at 48 kHz and 192 kHz, in addition to sophisticated analog amplifiers and powerful jitter elimination circuitry. In addition, a high-end AD/DA converter is employed to achieve professional-quality AD/DA conversion.
Analog & Digital Input/Output
The 1U-sized main unit has 16 balanced analog inputs and 16 balanced analog outputs. The front panel headphone output can monitor all input and output signals.
The Pulse16 MX +24 has MADI optical multimode terminals, and the Pulse16 MX +24 Single Mode has MADI optical single mode terminals as standard, allowing up to 64 channels (@48kHz) of input/output. The four ADAT inputs and outputs support up to 16 channels and 96 kHz in SMUX/2 mode.
Word clocks for digital synchronization can be sent and received via BNC, ADAT, or MADI.
Also available is the Pulse16 DX +24, which is a Pulse16 MX +24 with Dante inputs and outputs.
Digital Format Converter and Router
The versatile inputs and outputs of the Pulse16 MX +24 make it a very flexible digital format converter and signal router.
Audio signals can be freely converted to all analog and digital formats and output in multiple formats simultaneously in eight-channel increments.
Ferrofish products can accommodate many channels in a surprisingly small amount of rack space when connected in series.
Intuitive Operation and Easy Maintenance
Two TFT screens on the front panel display all the channel gain, output level, routing, monitoring, and clock settings for all inputs and outputs, so you can see everything happening on each channel. The headphone output allows for single-channel, stereo pair, and submix-by-submix monitoring, which are more reliable and maintainable in the field via the Pulse16 MX +24.
Remote Control via RemoteFish
The Pulse16 MX +24 can be remotely controlled in multiple ways, making it ideal for live recording, broadcast, and facility acoustics setups where long-distance transmission is required.
It can be remotely controlled via MIDI and MIDI-over-MADI, including alert messages. The RemoteFish remote control software can be downloaded from the website and can control all functions of multiple Ferrofish devices, including input/output, monitoring, and routing.

Example of use
Recording studio
Combined with a MADI-compatible audio interface, a high-grade multi-channel system can be introduced at a good deal of cost. Signals from microphone preamplifiers can be received via ADAT lines and recorded/played back via MADI. It has sufficient analog inputs and outputs for individual send/returns to outboard effects and supports transmission of 64 channels at 48 kHz per MADI channel, so four Pulse16 MX +24s can be connected.
Immersive Studio
Many immersive studios have adopted Ferrofish AD/DA converters in recent years. It has enough channels to support Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Realty Audio, and Auro 3D. Two Pulse16 MX +24 can be used as a 32-channel AD/DA converter supporting NHK 22.2 format.
Live Recording
The Pulse16 MX +24 accepts analog, or MADI signals from the PA, and additional ambiance microphone inputs are received from the preamplifier via ADAT and fed into the Pulse16 MX +24's internal matrix. The Pulse16 MX +24 has an internal matrix function that allows the Pulse16 MX +24 to receive additional ambiance microphone inputs from the preamplifier via ADAT and transmit them to the MADI line. It is a reliable system for a wide variety of venues.
■Streaming with immersive support
The Pulse16 MX +24 provides great cost-effectiveness for events and recordings where immersive monitoring is required, such as at sporting events. MADI Optical can transmit 64 audio channels per system for up to 2000 meters. At spectator events, immersive monitoring is possible, including the venue's MC microphone signal. The abundant analog outputs can send mixdowns to a separate streaming feed from the venue.
