Audient HORIZON 32 50-in/50-out Thunderbolt Audio Interface

Product Description

The Audient HORIZON 32 is a 50-in/50-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface and converter built around 32 channels of line I/O over eight DB25 connectors and 32-bit conversion at 133dB dynamic range. With a dedicated mix-bus path and 0.99ms round-trip latency, the Horizon 32 bridges an entire large-format console or large FX rack to the DAW from a single rack unit — designed for the studio or facility running the highest channel counts.

WELCOME TO THE NEW STANDARD

The 32 bridges an entire console or large outboard rack to the DAW from a single rack unit. Thirty-two channels of line I/O over eight DB25 connectors capture every channel uncolored through 32-bit conversion at 133 dB dynamic range, and a dedicated mix-bus path keeps a clean route for the master print. With 0.99ms round-trip latency you monitor through native plugins with no perceptible lag, and Horizon Control gives you one panel to command routing, monitoring and metering across the whole rig. As sessions grow, daisy-chain up to four units for 200 in and 200 out on a single driver, without ever changing your workflow.

MASTERING-GRADE CONVERSION

The HORIZON interfaces feature high-performance 32-bit AD/DA converters delivering a staggering 133 dB of dynamic range. This is conversion without compromise, providing the absolute transparency required to identify micro-details in a mix and make critical decisions with total confidence. ES9823PRO and ES9039 converters are the highest-performing chips available, selected for unrivaled depth and imaging. Ultra-low noise OPA1602 and OPA1612 op-amps ensure fast, percussive transients are captured with surgical precision. Hybrid analog/digital PLL circuits provide reliable jitter attenuation and rock-solid stereo imaging.

NATIVE PERFORMANCE

Ditch proprietary DSP and restrictive ecosystems. HORIZON utilizes a high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 3 connection to deliver 0.99ms round-trip latency (192 kHz/64-sample buffer) – the benchmark for real-time native monitoring. Run your entire VST/AU/AAX library at professional speeds using your Mac’s full processing power. Achieve near-zero latency for mission-critical monitoring and real-time signal processing. Rock-solid TB3 driver minimizes CPU overhead and buffering for rock-solid, high resolution performance in large-scale sessions.

DEDICATED MIX-BUS CAPTURE

Maximize your workflow without sacrificing primary inputs. The HORIZON features a dedicated Stereo Mix-Bus Path, so you can record your final console or summing box mix-down without ever unplugging your gear. Keep all 16 D-Sub I/O permanently connected to your outboard racks while having a dedicated ‘Print Path’ for your master bus.
