\"Ferrofish<\/a>Ferrofish\u2019s flagship 16-channel AD\/DA (with modified DC-coupled outputs) gets a review from Pro Tools Expert.<\/h3>\n

Read the full review here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Ferrofish expanded their range of multi-channel AD\/DA converters earlier this year with the introduction of three new modified versions of the 16-channel Ferrofish Pulse 16.<\/p>\n

All three modified ‘CV Series’ feature DC-coupling on their outputs, enabling control voltages to be sent to other studio hardware such as analogue and modular synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines and effects pedals.<\/p>\n

Alongside its 16 channels of analogue I\/O, the flagship Ferrofish Pulse 16 DX<\/a> CV model features a range of digital connectivity (ADAT \/ MADI \/ Dante), providing maximum flexibility and compatibility for expanding recording studio or live performance setups.<\/p>\n

For his review on Pro Tools Expert, reviewer James Richmond took the opportunity to pair the Pulse 16 DX CV with an RME Digiface Dante<\/a> (reviewed separately – see here<\/a>), noting the current lack of options when it comes to Dante-enabled audio interfaces with DC-coupled outputs.<\/p>\n

“So imagine how pleased I was to receive the Ferrofish Pulse 16 DX CV,\u201d James writes, \u201cas it not only supports 64 channels of Dante (due to the presence of the excellent Brooklyn II module rom Audinate); 64 channels of optical MADI; and 32 channels of ADAT I\/O; but also its 16 channels of analogue I\/O are all DC coupled, allowing me to fully integrate the modular synthesiser into my Pro Tools HDX, Ableton Live and Max-based workflows.”<\/p>\n

“A great audio converter is one where you largely don\u2019t think about it…
…and allows you to concentrate on the music. The Pulse 16 DX CV does this in spades.”<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summarising his thoughts on the Pulse 16 DX CV, James continues “A great audio converter is one where you largely don\u2019t think about it – it just gets on doing what it does, sounds good and allows you to concentrate on the music. The Pulse DX-CV does this in spades.”<\/p>\n

Oh, and he liked it so much he bought one! Many thanks to Production Expert \/ Pro Tools Expert for the review. Read it in full for yourself here<\/a>, or for more music and audio production news, tips and tricks, head to the Production Expert homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
