Audient Horizon 32

The Audient Horizon 32 is a flagship 50-in/50-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface created for commercial studios, console-based control rooms, scoring facilities, and large hardware systems. With 32 analogue line inputs and 32 line outputs in a single rack unit, it can bridge an entire console or extensive outboard rack directly to your DAW.

Eight DB25 connectors provide 64 channels of space-efficient analogue conversion, making the Horizon 32 an ideal foundation for high-channel-count recording, hybrid mixing, and large synth installations. Dedicated stereo monitor outputs and mix-bus capture keep monitoring and final-print workflows close at hand.

Reference-grade 32-bit conversion provides up to 133 dB of dynamic range at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The native Thunderbolt 3 connection offers stated latency as low as 0.99 ms, enabling real-time use of native plug-ins without locking the studio into a proprietary DSP platform.

Horizon Control lets you route any input to any output from a virtual patchbay, create custom cue mixes, recall complete routing and monitoring configurations, and manage speaker systems up to 9.1.6. Dual ADAT and BNC word-clock connectivity support digital expansion and studio synchronisation. For even larger installations, as many as four Horizon units can operate together as a single system with up to 200 x 200 channels.
