General

The Ferrofish A32 32x32 AD/DA converter is the ultimate workhorse for your studio, live rig or OB bus and features 32x32 analogue I/O plus 32x32 ADAT I/O with S/PDIF switch, coaxial MADI I/O and more! Thanks to the MADI & ADAT ports, you always have the best possible connection at your disposal. The MADI connection opens up the possibility to transfer 64x64 audio channels across a distance of up to 2 km via a coax or optical cable while MIDI-over-MADI functionality does the same for controlling your gear without the need for an extra external connection. This means that since it's equipped with ADAT I/O and 32 analogue inputs and outputs, the Ferrofish A32 lets you transfer all that data via a single connection. Naturally, the high-performance SHARC DSP packs enough processing power to take care of all 258 audio channels.
