Why the HORIZON 16?

The 16 is built to sit at the centre of a hybrid studio. Sixteen channels of line I/O over four DB25 connectors keep a full rack of compressors, EQs and a summing box permanently patched, while a dedicated stereo mix-bus path lets you print your master back to the DAW without unplugging a thing. With 32-bit conversion at 133dB dynamic range your outboard returns exactly as it left, uncoloured, and 0.99ms round-trip latency keeps native plugins lag-free. Horizon Control handles routing, monitoring and metering from one panel — and when a session outgrows a single unit, you can daisy-chain up to four for 200 in and 200 out on one driver.
