    A32PRO - Overview

    The Ferrofish A 32 Pro is a 32 In & 32 Out AD/DA Converter with Coaxial, Multimode MADI and ADAT. The A32 Pro worldwide unique solution to convert and route all important PRO-Audio formats with the highest possible I/O density in a single HU rack device: Analog, MADI and ADAT - all with up to 192 kHz.

    The incredible flexible converter provides 32 balanced analog I/Os in D-Sub25 format with pro studio levels up to +20dBu - adjustable in 1 dB steps. High-Quality analog conversion: with the latest high-performance low-latency converter generation from ESS, the device sets a new milestone for multi-channel conversion. Combined with a temperature-compensated high-precision clock and an active jitter reduction hardware design, the 388-channel behemoth delivers an exceptional detailed sound. A total of four multitouch TFT screens show the levels of all 64 channels. A sophisticated help system provides context-sensitive help for the selected function at all times.

    Remote Control by the RemoteFish App (PC and Mac) is also possible via USB (USB-over-MIDI), MIDI, MIDI-over-MADI. MADI: The A32pro comes with two redundant MADI SFP ports (64 fully routable channels). Any combination of optical and/or BNC SFP modules can be used. The device ships with a single optical Multimode I/O module, supporting 64 channels at 48 kHz. ADAT: 2 x 4 TOSLINK ports - port 4 switchable to SPDIF - can convert all 32 analog I/Os.
