Description

Make MADI future-proof. Now with complete control.
Dante has become a standard for professional networked audio. The Ferrofish VERTOpro MX connects professional MADI systems with Dante and takes the original VERTO MX concept further than ever before!
Two MADI SFP interfaces provide maximum flexibility, operating as two independent MADI streams or as a redundant MADI connection, and at sample rates of up to 192 kHz.
In addition to format conversion, the VERTOpro MX provides a flexible routing matrix with IPS colour display, integrated headphone monitoring, and complete front-panel operation, providing full-scale 1-to-Any signal routing.
The Dante interface provides up to 64 x 64 channels and supports both switched and redundant network operation as well as AES67.
Ferrofish VERTOpro Series - At a glance
Connect the most popular Professional Audio Formats
The VERTOpro Series seamlessly bridges Dante with ADAT and/or MADI (depending on the model), making them ideal for professional studio, broadcast and live sound applications.
MADI without compromise
Up to two MADI SFP modules provides two independent MADI streams or redundant operation for maximum flexibility and reliability.
Intelligent On-Device Routing and Monitoring
The Single-channel routing matrix, headphone output and high-resolution colour display provide intuitive routing, monitoring and device configuration, displaying level meters, routing, clocking and device status in real time.
Optimised for Professional Workflows
Intuitive operation, presets, MIDI and flexible synchronization options ensure seamless integration into any professional audio setup.
Built for the Future
MADI SFP options, firmware updates and the proven Ferrofish operating concept make the Ferrofish VERTOpro Series a future-proof investment.
- 3" IPS Color Display - Level meters, routing, clock status, interface status and device configuration.
- Flexible Routing Matrix - 8-channel block routing plus individual single-channel routing.
- Integrated Headphone Monitoring - Direct monitoring of digital input/output signals without affecting the routing.
- Presets - Eight device presets.
- Device Lock - Protects the device against unauthorized or accidental configuration changes.
- RemoteFish - Remote control from Windows or macOS via USB-MIDI or MIDI.
- USB-C - For USB-MIDI, RemoteFish and firmware updates.
- MIDI CC - Device functions can be controlled using MIDI Control Change messages.
- Up to 192 kHz - All three models support sample rates up to 192 kHz.

Complete Control. Directly on the Device.
The Ferrofish VERTOpro MX can be configured directly from the front panel.
The high-resolution 3″ IPS color display provides level metering, clock and interface status, routing information and access to the device configuration.
A flexible routing matrix is available for signal management, offering both fast 8-channel block routing and precise single-channel routing.
Front-panel headphone monitoring allows you to monitor any digital input or output signal directly without affecting the existing routing.
Other practical features include eight internal preset slots; a device lock to prevent accidental changes, and comprehensive remote control via RemoteFish software (Windows/macOS) using USB-C or MIDI Control Change commands.
