Pulse16 CV keeps the conversion quality of the standard Pulse16 while adding DC output capability across all sixteen analog outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDriving a Modular Rig Directly From the DAW\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual obstacle to integrating Eurorack with a digital workstation is that standard audio outputs are AC-coupled and strip out the DC component needed for CV control. Pulse16 CV solves this with DC-coupling on all 16 analog outputs, so a CV plugin in Ableton Live, Max, or a similar environment can directly drive gates, sequencers, and module parameters without extra converter hardware. It's worth noting the inputs remain standard and cannot accept control voltages — CV capability applies only to the output path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Channel Count Without Compromising Conversion Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen working with a modular setup, the number of required outputs grows quickly, and converter quality can't be a trade-off. Pulse16 CV provides a full 16 analog inputs and 16 analog outputs on TRS connectors, backed by ADAT ports running in SMUX mode at 96kHz, allowing the full channel count to be maintained even at higher sample rates. Cirrus Logic converters paired with a temperature-compensated precision clock and a fanless design deliver consistent, low-noise performance whether the signal is heading to a mix bus or into a modular's CV jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 balanced analog inputs and 16 balanced analog outputs on TRS connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC-coupled outputs for generating CV signals to control modular systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 4 ADAT ports delivering full 16x16 channel operation even at 96kHz (SMUX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum signal level up to +20dBu, adjustable in 1dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional +24dBu level for SMPTE-standard compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatest-generation Cirrus Logic converters with low latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-precision, temperature-compensated clock with active jitter reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanless design for quiet studio operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade path to the MX version with MADI module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with CV\/Gate sequencing and CV plugins in major DAWs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog inputs: 16 x TRS, balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog outputs: 16 x TRS, balanced, DC-coupled (CV option)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal level: -8 to +20dBu (1dB steps), optional up to +24dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADAT ports: 2 x 4 (In\/Out), full 16x16 channels at 96kHz in SMUX mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverters: Cirrus Logic, low latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClock: precision, temperature-compensated, active jitter reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling: fanless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion: optional MADI module (MX version) via SFP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV application: output stage only, inputs not CV-capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ferrofish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54336250511697,"sku":"48405","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/FerrofishPulse16CV1.jpg?v=1784664186","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/ferrofish-pulse16-cv","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
