Flexible analog and digital connectivity
The Pulse 16 MX offers seamless integration into any studio setup with its 16 balanced analog inputs and outputs, converting to ADAT or MADI formats. The 4x4 ADAT interfaces support up to 96kHz without losing channel count, while the MADI format extends digital capabilities to 192kHz. This flexibility ensures compatibility with a wide range of studio equipment, making it an ideal choice for expanding your I/O options.
Professional-grade audio performance
Designed for precision, the Pulse 16 MX is equipped with low latency A/D-D/A converters, a temperature-compensated clock, and a jitter reduction PLL. These features work together to ensure crystal-clear, reliable sound that meets the demands of professional recording and mixing environments.
The adjustable +20dBu output levels, configurable in 1dB steps, allow you to fine-tune the audio to match your setup perfectly. This level of customisation ensures optimal performance regardless of your studio's configuration.
Intuitive operation and control
With dual TFT screens, the Pulse 16 MX provides a clear view of all input and output levels at a glance. Its one-knob operation simplifies navigation, allowing you to configure settings quickly and efficiently without diving into complex menus. The free RemoteFish app adds another layer of convenience, enabling remote control via MIDI on PC or Mac, so you can make adjustments from your workstation. Preset management further streamlines your workflow, letting you save and recall configurations to suit different projects or setups effortlessly.
Convenient signal monitoring
The integrated headphone output is a standout feature, offering the ability to monitor any analog or digital input or output directly. This makes it easy to verify signals and troubleshoot issues quickly, saving valuable time during sessions. The monitoring matrix provides extensive routing options, ensuring you always have access to the signals you need.
Compact and powerful, the Pulse 16 MX is an essential tool for any audio professional seeking efficient and reliable conversion and monitoring capabilities.
