Pulse 16 MX AD/DA Converter

The Pulse 16 MX offers studio-quality 16 x 16 balanced analog inputs and outputs up to 192kHz with both ADAT and MADI. Up to 64 x 64 channels (or 16 x 16 channels at 192kHz) can be transmitted over a simple optical MADI cable pair for high-end multichannel recording. Numerous ADAT channels are also provided; at 96kHz, 4 x 4 ADAT ports transfer 16 x 16 channels.

Packed injust 1RU, this highly integrated converter has 16 x 16 balanced analog TRS sockets using studio levels up to +20dBu individually adjustable in 1dB steps. The low latency Cirrus Logic converters are accompanied with a temperature-compensated clock and jitter reduction PLL for crystal clear sound.

The 4 x 4 ADAT ports deliver enough bandwidth to convert all 16 x 16 analog signals at 96kHz or 32 x 32 channels at 48kHz. MADI adds another 64 x 64 channels and is implemented using a modular SFP conection to offer different MADI standards (like Singlemode) by replacing the MADI module (other modules sold separately).

Two TFT screens make configuration simple with information 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. All 176 x 176 analog and digital channels of the Pulse16 MX 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.
