At this upcoming NAMM show, Synthax will be showcasing the new Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE AD/DA converter. The Pule 8 AE adds a smaller-scale AD/DA converter to the very popular line of Ferrofish converters that include the A 32 Pro, A 32 Pro Dante, and Pulse 16 Series.
The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE is a versatile and compact AD/DA converter designed for seamless integration into studio or live setups. With 8 high-quality balanced analog inputs and outputs, it ensures precise and clean signal conversion. The Pulse 8 AE offers full visual control via its vibrant front-panel display, simplifying real-time monitoring and configuration. Built to accommodate professional workflows, its robust clocking options and compatibility with standard studio connections make it an essential tool for engineers seeking reliable performance in a flexible, space-saving form factor.
“We are very excited about the introduction of the Pulse 8 AE as it addresses a growing need for a smaller-scale 8-channel converter in the live and studio market” stated Derek Badala, Director of Sales. “Many audio professionals are using gear that have a vacant ADAT I/O that can now be utilized enabling them to get more out their existing gear. RME customers who use the Babyface Pro, Fireface UC and UCX, as well as the latest Fireface UCX II now have an affordable, yet high quality professional option to add more analog I/O to their setups”” added Badala.
The Pulse 8 AE will start shipping mid to late January and makes a perfect companion to any audio device that supports ADAT I/O. You can check out the new Pulse 8 AE at the RME/SYNTHAX booth# 14913 at this month’s NAMM Show.
