From Audient
High-Channel-Count Studio Connectivity
The Audient Horizon 32 is a 50-in / 50-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface and converter designed for professional studios, large-format console systems, and facilities with high channel-count requirements. Its primary analog connectivity comprises 32 line inputs and 32 line outputs across eight DB25 connectors, allowing an entire console or large outboard effect rack to connect to a macOS DAW from a single all-metal 1 RU rack unit.
32-Bit Conversion and Ultralow Latency
The Horizon 32 delivers 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion with a 133 dB dynamic range and selectable +18 and +24 dBu reference levels. Its native Thunderbolt 3 architecture provides 0.99 ms round-trip latency at 192 kHz with a 64-sample buffer, allowing you to track through native plug-ins without any perceptible monitoring lag.
Dedicated Mixing and Monitoring Paths
Dedicated stereo mix-bus inputs provide a separate path for printing a master, while dedicated stereo monitor outputs support independent reference listening. Advanced monitor controls include mono, polarity, dim, and reference-level functions. Horizon Control software supplies a virtual patch bay, custom monitoring, onboard comfort reverb, and extensive metering, from a single control panel.
Digital Expansion and Scalable Operation
Dual ADAT I/O provides 16 channels of digital expansion, while BNC wordclock input and output support system synchronization. Up to four Horizon units can be daisy-chained on a single driver for a maximum system capacity of 200 inputs and 200 outputs.
