The Ferrofish A32pro Dante is based on a new modular hardware platform and packed with analog and digital interfaces. In addition to the 32x32 balanced studio-quality analog inputs and outputs and the stereo main out up to 192 kHz, the A32pro offers ADAT and MADI connections—probably the most widely used digital audio interfaces available—along with Dante digital audio networking.
Two RJ-45 ports provide a 64x64 Dante digital audio network connection with redundancy. In addition to the optical first MADI module, another SFP MADI module can be added. Different modes allow redundant operation of both interfaces: If one fails, the other one is activated automatically. Speaking of redundancy: If desired, two power supplies can be connected to the device. All power supplies and interfaces are permanently monitored: In the event of a failure, an error message is output on the TFT screens and on the General Purpose Output (GPO) to connect it to additional hardware.
Packed into a compact 1 RU space, the highly integrated converter is equipped with 32x32 balanced analog channels, brought out on four D-SUB connectors. They deliver studio levels up to +20 dBu, individually adjustable in 1 dB steps.
The sophisticated design, using the latest generation of ESS converters, accompanied with a temperature-compensated clock and jitter reduction PLL, guarantees crystal-clear sound up to 192 kHz. The A32pro is not just a converter but thanks to its flexibility, using a sophisticated routing matrix, it is also a digital format converter for integrating your existing and future Dante, MADI, and ADAT equipment.
