The analog inputs and outputs of this “+24dBu” version can receive and send levels of up to +24dBu instead of +20dBu.
The PULSE16 converts 16 x 16 balanced analog inputs and outputs to ADAT I/O at up to 96kHz in studio quality. As a cost-effective interface, ADAT is already available almost everywhere – so adding 16 x 16 analog channels to your studio with the PULSE16 is just a matter of a few steps.

The low latency A/D-D/A converters, accompanied by a temperature compensated clock and a jitter reduction PLL, guarantee the best crystal clear sound. All this packed in a compact 1U, the PULSE16 delivers SMPTE-compliant studio levels of up to +24dBu, individually adjustable in 1dB steps, brought to a total of 32 jack connections. Thanks to the 4 x 4 ADAT interfaces, 16 x 16 channels can still be easily converted at 96kHz without reduced channel count.

Configuring the unit is a breeze thanks to the two TFT screens. A look into the manual is not necessary, all information is clearly displayed on the screens. Remote control via MIDI is also possible thanks to the free RemoteFish app (PC and Mac).

The headphones let you montor almost any analog or digital input or output: Ideal for quick control of signals.

As your studio grows, the PULSE16 grows with it: The MADI I/O section can be unlocked via an upgrade kit consisting of MADI-SFP module together with an unlock code. Then the PULSE16 becomes a full-fledged PULSE16 MX.
