Featuring the latest generation of A/D - D/A converters from ESS Tech, the new A32pro and A32pro Dante continue FERROFISH’s tradition of designing reliable, transparent audio devices with high-channel counts, operating at up to 192kHz sample rates.
Alongside a newly-designed black finish, the FERROFISH A32pro and A32pro Dante feature updated front panels with touch-screen controls, making navigation and control over both device easier than ever before.
The addition of a main TRS output and dual headphone connections offers maximum monitoring and recording flexibility, whilst a new GPIO connection provides extended remote-control functionality.
A dual-slot bay is provided for future DSP expansions providing additional processing power for the A32pro and A32pro Dante’s on-board SHARC DSP processor.
The Ferrofish A32pro and A32pro Dante each feature 32 analogue inputs and 32 analogue outputs on fully balanced DSub25 connectors in a 1U Frame.
Both devices support for up to 64 channels of MADI I/O via dual SFP slots, which can accommodate either optical or coaxial MADI SFPs, and can be run in tandem for added redundancy. Up to 32 channels of ADAT optical I/O is provided in each direction with full support to double sample rates of up to 96kHz.
The A32pro Dante also supports an additional 64 channels of I/O via Audinate’s popular Dante networking format, making it easy to integrate the FERROFISH A32pro Dante with any existing Dante network, and providing another layer of fail-safe protection alongside the included MADI and power switchover capabilities using a redundant Dante network.
Wordclock I/O is provided on BNC, with clocking also available via ADAT, MADI or Dante (A32pro Dante only), whilst MIDI I/O is provided on 3.5mm TRS connectors.
The new A32pro Series features a high-quality front-panel TFT display, providing on-board level-metering for all 32 input channels and 32 outputs channels simultaneously.
Front-panel control is both intuitive and user-friendly, with the new illuminated touch-sensitive encoder providing control over all aspects of the device - such as gains, output levels, routing, monitoring and clock settings – alongside the (also-touch-sensitive) display.
Any incoming or outgoing audio signal can be monitored directly from the front of the device, via either of the two independent on-board headphone outputs.
