FERROFISH
Pulse8 AE

The high-resolution front panel display provides instant visual feedback on all input and output signals, giving professional meter readings and system status at a glance. The multi-colour meters ensure accurate level monitoring in any environment.

Experience the highest audio quality thanks to carefully selected ESS converters and a temperature-compensated clock design. The Pulse8 AE is the epitome of Ferrofish sound quality, offering crystal-clear conversion at up to 192kHz and professional +20dBu headroom.

The comprehensive RemoteFish software for Mac and PC lets you control audio routing and settings. USB-C connectivity provides instant access to all parameters, while MIDI I/O allows integration into larger systems and easy firmware updates for continuous improvement.

More than just a simple converter, the Pulse8 AE's comprehensive ADAT connectivity and wordclock synchronisation make it a versatile routing solution. It seamlessly bridges the analogue and digital worlds, making it an ideal centrepiece for studio and live applications.

The dedicated headphone output, powered by a separate ESS DAC, offers excellent monitoring capabilities with precise volume control in 1dB increments. Four-stage gain ensures compatibility with all headphone impedances and is ideal for critical monitoring and tracking sessions.

With its modular design and DSP expandability, the Pulse8 AE is ready for tomorrow's challenges. The optional DSP slot allows for future upgrades in processing power, protecting your investment while providing the ability to expand functionality.
