Due to the nature of the products we sell, we operate a strict fraud screening process and therefore we are only able to deliver to the billing address.

In the event of a delay, we will contact you either by email or telephone as soon as reasonably possible.

While 99% of UK locations are valid for next day/Saturday delivery, there are a few remote locations which are not covered.

Synthax Audio (UK) cannot deliver outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland*.

*RME products cannot be shipped to the Republic of Ireland.

Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Description

INCREASE YOUR PULSE RATE

The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE is a versatile and compact AD/DA converter designed for seamless integration into studio or live setups.

With 8 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs on balanced TRS connections (line-level), the Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE is perfect for expanding audio interfaces and mixers with additional channels via ADAT.

A vibrant front-panel display offers level information for all channels at a glance, simplifying real-time monitoring and configuration, whilst front panel and software remote control (RemoteFish) make controlling the device a breeze.

Keep everything permanently connected in your studio so you’re ready to record as soon as inspiration strikes! Record your keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines and mixing consoles; or connect additional pairs of studio monitors, and route out (and back in) to hardware FX boxes like EQs, Reverbs and Compressors.

All captured via Ferrofish’s transparent AD and DA conversion, relied on by professional studios and live engineers the world over.

Analogue I/O

The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE offer 8 x balanced line-level inputs and 8 x balanced line-level outputs.

The analogue inputs are individually adjustable in 1 dB steps from +20dBu to -8dBu (which corresponds approximately to the level of -10dBV for use with consumer devices). Multiple input gains can be adjusted at the same time (mono, stereo, 4ch or all).

Analogue outputs are also indivudally adjustable in 1 dB steps from +20dBu to -8dBu. Note that the level metering will not change, as output levels are shown pre-attenuation.

Front Panel

Level Metering

The front panel TFT display shows the levels of the 8 analogue inputs and outputs as well as the status of the device. Pressing the MENU button takes you to the main menu from where the device can be set up.

Controls

Control of the device is offered via the front panel, which consists of a MENU button (three horizontal bars), an ESC button (X symbol), the rotary knob for headphone control and menu navigation, and the POWER button.

To prevent switching off the device accidentally, the POWER button must be pressed for approximately 3 seconds.

Headphone output

The Pulse 8 AE’s headphone output is powered by a high-quality DAC and amplifier chip, controllable via the large encoder on the front panel. Any of the devices incoming and outgoing signals can be monitored, including both mono and stereo pairs.

Rear Panel

POWER Input

Power is provided via the included ‘line-lump’ power supply. To secure the connection, be sure to lock it in place to prevent against accidentally disconnecting the device when in use.

USB-C PORT

The USB port serves as USB MIDI connection. After you connect the device to your PC/MAC, you can control it remotely using the RemoteFish software or update the firmware with the Update loo software. You can find both in the download area of the Ferrofish website. Please note that audio transmission via USB is not provided.

DSP STICK

This DSP STICK slot is intended for future updates. A protection cap is included to protect the slot when it’s not in use.

ADAT 1 IN/OUT and ADAT 2 IN/OUT

The PULSE8 AE has two ADAT input and output pairs (TOSLINK optical). This allows transmission of 16+16 audio channels at up to 48kHz. At higher frequencies, the number of channels is reduced: 8+8 @ 96kHz, or 4+4 @ 192 kHz.

MIDI IN/OUT (type A)

Modern and space-saving 3.5mm jacks can also be used for MIDI control, as an alternative to the MIDI-USB connection. Conventional 5 pin DIN cables can be connected via an adapter cable, which you can purchase from your favourite supplier, or also from our online shop.

WORDCLOCK IN/OUT

The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE’s WordClock can be set to Internal, ADAT or BNC.

The Wordclock I/O is used to receive and synchronise the clock from other digital devices via BNC. Set the clock source to BNC in the CLOCK view via the menu. The current clock is output to the WORDCLOCK OUT jack.

PRESETS

The Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE can store up to eight presets. For saving, use the knob to navigate to SAVE PRESET. Loading a preset is done simply by selecting one of the preset numbers.

When loading a preset, you can also choose which parts of the selected preset should actually be loaded.

Navigate between the options with the rotary knob, use the MENU button to make a selection, and select Load! to execute.

RACK-MOUNTABLE

The Pulse 8 AE can be rack-mounted using the Ferrofish Rack Mount KIT1 (sold separately).

SOFTWARE CONTROL - REMOTEFISH

Remote control your Ferrofish Pulse 8 AE via MIDI / USB-MIDI with the RemoteFish software, available as a free download for both Mac and PC. RemoteFish provides an extended user interface, for control over all input and output gains, channel routing, adjusting settings, and saving and loading presets.
