Ferrofish Pulse16 AE: High-Quality Multichannel Conversion at an Affordable Price - gearnews.com

gearnews.com

The Ferrofish Pulse16 AE offers impressive flexibility for a mid-range AD/DA converter, boasting professional-grade conversion with 32-bit 192 kHz capabilities and robust I/O options. Its dual display and RemoteFish software enhance usability, making it a solid choice for hybrid mixing or integrating hardware into your DAW setup. However, while it provides versatile digital connectivity with ADAT and SMUX support, the review doesn't shy away from its hefty price tag, which might deter budget-conscious buyers. Overall, it's a reliable contender for those seeking quality audio conversion without breaking the bank, but not without considering the investment.
