The Ferrofish A32 Pro Dante is a 32-in 32-out AD/DA converter with MADI, ADAT and 64-channels of Dante connectivity, designed to provide high-quality conversion and routing flexibility.
The Ferrofish A32 Pro Dante easily integrates into any existing Dante network adding 64 digital inputs and outputs. Thanks to its ease of use the A32 Dante allows for the creation of multiple submix and routing options perfectly suited to any Dante interconnected system.
Furthermore, the A32 includes MADI connectors allowing of up to 64-channels to be transferred via a simple pair of glass fibre cables up to 2 kilometres.
It also offers ADAT integration with four ADAT ports adding 32-channels of audio (up to 48kHz). One of the ADAT port can also function as optical S/PDIF or ADAT/EBU with its own dedicated sample rate converter to avoid sync issues.
The A32 Dante uses a complete redesign of the Analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion using the latest ESS converters, and many other useful features such as remote control via MIDI, as well as latency-free daisy-chaining of several units together
The analogue section is supported by a powerful analogue amplifier circuit which lets you set the standard levels +4dBu, +13dBu and +20dBu in the analogue domain before reaching the converter, ensuring optimum performance.
The Ferrofish also uses a new visual control concept which not only provides precise level meters of all 64 analogue channels but also adjusts everything you need. An extensive user interface is also included as well as an on-screen manual. A SHARC DSP chip is also included to take care of the digital audio and uses an 80-bit wide accumulator to ensure that not a bit gets lost.
