Ferrofish SFP SM MADI Single Mode Module

Expand Your Pulse16 or A32pro with MADI Over Optical Fiber

The Ferrofish SFP SM Single Mode MADI Optical SFP Module gives your compatible Ferrofish device—such as the Pulse16, Pulse16 DX/MX, or A32pro—the ability to transmit and receive up to 64 channels of MADI over single mode optical fiber. This compact SFP module adds significant functionality by converting your unit into a powerful digital audio hub with high-resolution multichannel routing for studio, broadcast, or live use.

Enable Pulse16 MX Features on Your Base Model

By installing this SFP module and unlocking the port, you can upgrade a standard Pulse16 unit into a Pulse16 MX. This allows access to all 16 x 16 analog I/O and full MADI transmission at up to 192 kHz. It’s a smart way to unlock advanced conversion capabilities without replacing your existing gear. Contacting Ferrofish for a one-time unlock code is all it takes to get started.

Integrate Single Mode MADI into Long-Distance Workflows

Single mode optical connections are ideal for long-distance digital audio transmission. With the Ferrofish SFP SM, you can connect to compatible SC fiber optic cables for reliable and interference-free operation across extensive runs—perfect for production environments that span large facilities or stages.

Supports High Sample Rates and Full Channel Counts

Once activated, the module enables 64 input and 64 output MADI channels, operating at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The unit also supports SMUX/4 on ADAT, allowing eight channels at 192 kHz. This makes it a great tool for routing between analog, ADAT, and MADI formats in high-resolution workflows.

Flexible Routing and ADAT Compatibility

In addition to MADI expansion, this module allows routing up to 32 ADAT I/O channels between MADI and other digital sources. Whether you're using an A32pro Dante or a Pulse16 DX, the SFP SM gives you access to flexible format bridging and advanced routing without needing external patching hardware.

Compact and Reliable for Demanding Audio Environments

Despite its small footprint, the SFP SM Single Mode module plays a crucial role in expanding your system’s connectivity. Designed for maximum compatibility with Ferrofish converters, it’s a professional-grade solution for audio engineers requiring high channel counts and pristine digital transmission.
