Ferrofish Releases Pulse 8 AE

German manufacturer Ferrofish is proud to announce the launch of the Pulse 8 AE, an 8-channel AD/DA converter with ADAT connectivity that’s perfectly designed for both studio and live recording environments.
Engineered to deliver pristine audio quality and exceptional versatility, the Pulse 8 AE is the ideal tool for audio professionals and enthusiasts looking to expand their creative possibilities.
Seamless Integration for Studio Workflows
Whether you’re a music producer, recording engineer or sound designer, the Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE offers a powerful way to connect all of your gear in the studio or out on tour.
With its 8 high-quality analogue inputs and outputs, the Pulse 8 AE enables seamless integration of mixing consoles, synthesizers, drum machines, and other instruments into your studio workflow.
Designed to preserve every sonic detail, the Pulse 8 AE ensures your music is captured and played back with absolute clarity: powered by carefully selected ESS converter chips for exceptional sound quality, and delivering crystal-clear conversion up to 192kHz with professional +20dBu headroom.
A Perfect Expansion for Your Audio Interface
Looking to expand your audio interface? Like its larger Pulse 16 sibling, the Pulse 8 AE makes it easy to add additional channels of high-resolution audio via ADAT. Compatible with any ADAT-enabled audio interface, it’s the perfect solution for anyone needing more inputs and outputs without compromising on sound quality. From tracking multiple instruments simultaneously to running complex routing setups, the Pulse 8 AE adapts effortlessly to any scenario.
Single-Channel Routing: Precision Control
The Pulse 8 AE introduces single-channel routing, enabling users to assign and manage each individual channel with unprecedented precision. Inputs can be routed to any chosen output via a matrix window, for maximum flexibility where custom routing is critical. Remote control is also possible via Mac and PC using Ferrofish’s RemoteFish control software.
Built for Live Performance and Playback
The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE also shines in live environments as a reliable tool for recording and playback. Its compact and robust build quality, coupled with premium AD/DA conversion, ensures professional-grade audio every time. Whether you’re capturing performances or handling multichannel playback, the Pulse 8 AE brings studio-grade sound to the stage.
Key Features
• 8 x Analogue Inputs and Outputs: High-quality I/O for connecting a wide range of gear.
• ADAT Connectivity: Seamlessly integrates with ADAT-equipped audio interfaces and digital mixers.
• High-Resolution Audio: Ensures pristine, transparent sound for both recording and playback.
• Compact Design: Fits effortlessly into studios and live setups.
• Single-Channel Routing: Unparalleled flexibility to fine-tune your audio signal paths.
• Total Control: Extensive front panel and software remote control
• Flexible Applications: Perfect for music production, live sound and post-production.
Increase your pulse rate
With pristine audio quality, robust design and flexible routing, the Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE is perfect for use in demanding studio and live sound environments. Its compact size ensures that users can start small and scale up as needed, while the single-channel routing unlocks possibilities for detailed signal management if required.
Pricing & Availability
The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE has an MSRP of £519.99 and is available to buy now from selected pro audio retailers.
