Ferrofish A32 Pro 32-Channel AD/DA Converter with MADI and ADAT
Product Highlights- 32 Analog Inputs, 32 Analog Outputs
- Up to 192 kHz
- 8 D-Sub Connectors
- ADAT and MADI Digital Support
- Flexible Internal Routing Matrix
- 4 High-Resolution TFT Displays
- Redundant Power Supply
- Remote Control via USB & MIDI
The Ferrofish A32 AD/DA Converter offers 32
Analog Inputs and Outputs, 64x64 MADI and 32x32 ADAT Digital Channels.
Designed with professional recording applications in mind the Ferrofish
A32 is featured packed and leave little to be desired in a Converter.
The Ferrofish A32 Pro AD/DA converter offers 32 analog inputs and outputs,
via eight DB25 connectors. Digital I/O includes SMUX supported ADAT, as
well as optical and BNC MADI.
Utilizing Cirrus Logic converters, each analog in and out can be
switched from +4dBu, +13dBu, and +20dBu (in groups, or separately). Four
full color TFT displays allow you quick (clear and detailed) reference
of your settings and levels, so you know what is going on at all times.
These displays are further utilized for the user friendly two button
accessible interface, to adjust your settings in the system's menu.
In addition to these features, the Ferrofish A32 Pro also includes a
headphone output. If you ever wondered what happens on a analog or
digital channel you will find the headphone connector very useful. With
one touch of the encoder you see the headphone screen. There you can set
the volume, and select the source for the headphone output. You can
also store up to seven mixes, and just select one to hear it on the
headphones.
For the master clock, Ferrofish uses a temperature compensated
high-quality oscillator. But also when you use MADI or ADAT as clock
source, the digital PLL produces a virtually jitterless sampleclock for
the converters. Just listen to the A32, you will hear the difference!
One of the most exciting new features is the fourth generation Sharc
DSP chip. This DSP is connected to all 258 analog and digital channels,
and is able to freely route and mix all these signals. Besides of that,
it can do audio processing, so Ferrofish can expand the features of the
A32 easily.
