Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE

The Pulse 8 AE from Ferrofish is a compact, eight channel AD/DA converter designed for capturing the highest quality audio in studio or stage situations. Easily integrate the carefully selected ESS converters and temperature calibrated clock design into your existing setup or as part of a minimal, on-the-go setup. This sleek and compact AD/DA converter distills the essence of high-fidelity conversion into an elegant, space-conscious chassis, offering a robust 8×8 balanced analog I/O and pristine ADAT connectivity up to 192kHz.

More than just a converter, the Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE is an architect of sonic integrity. With Ferrofish's hallmark ESS converters at its core, every note, breath, and transient is preserved with an almost religious devotion to transparency. The inclusion of a temperature-compensated clock guarantees unwavering stability, while the dedicated headphone output, driven by its own ESS DAC, turns routine monitoring into an act of critical listening par excellence. Its modular design, complete with a forward-thinking DSP expansion slot, hints at a future where adaptability is not an afterthought but a promise. Whether seamlessly threading its way into a densely populated studio rack or standing as a silent sentinel in a live rig, the Pulse 8 AE melds technical sophistication with a utilitarian grace, ensuring that no decibel goes unaccounted for.
