FER-A16MK2
Ferrofish are a relatively new company from Germany, who have built a reputation for high-end AD/DA convertors. The A16 Mk2 has incorporated MADI, allowing connectivity with any MADI based audio-interface. Up to four units can be daisy-chained together! The Ferrofish A16 MkII is a quality, feature rich 2 x 16 channel AD/DA converter that is designed to offer any professional robust and uncompromised performance in the studio or live.
