Merging Technologies Horus

Merging Technologies Horus Base Unit
includes 1x MADI I/O (coaxial and optical), 24x AES/EBU I/O (12 pairs on 3x DB25), Ravenna/AES67 I/O, 6x analogue slots.

Separate optional input and output cards allow you to customize your interface to exactly what you need for each application. Choose from standard, 192kHz capable or extended use DXD/DSD capable Inputs and outputs.

Horus might be one of the worlds most sonically transparent Mic Pres and phenomenal AD/DA boxes on the market

Horus could very well be the ultimate answer to anyone wanting Analogue/AES/MADI interconnectivity in the room they work in. It is a revolution in bang for buck technology and is set to become the defacto audio I/O device for the media industries.

But in reality Horus is much, much more:

Using RAVENNA technology, Horus brings to the table the possibility to interconnect your entire facility using nothing more than a standard RJ45 connector. Once in RAVENNA mode, the Horus box simply becomes a node on a network, one that can be instantly called to be an input, an output, or a combination of both. Whether you are in broadcast, TV and film, CD/SACD mastering, studio or live music recording, live events, theatres, museums, cruise ships, or any industry where you need audio to get from A to B (or A to B and C, or C to A and part of D, E, and F!).

Notes

Premium and Standard option cards can be mixed in a Horus unit

Modular by Design

The ability to choose the amount of I/O that each Horus unit is capable of saves money without diminishing the level of quality. Choose to add any of the option modules to your Horus and create the ultimate audio interface for your studio, whatever the size. Once the Horus is fully loaded with option cards, it is capable of achieving an astonishing, simultaneous 176 inputs and 178 outputs at 1FS.
