Audient Horizon 32 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface (Price on request)

Command Your Console and Outboard Gear with Uncompromising Precision

The Audient Horizon 32 is a flagship 50-in / 50-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface built for high-channel-count studios, mixing facilities, and mastering suites. Delivering 32 analogue inputs and outputs via eight DB25 connectors, it bridges your DAW to large-format consoles and outboard gear with pristine, uncoloured conversion. This 1U rackmount unit offers mastering-grade 32-bit / 192 kHz resolution, sub-millisecond latency, and scalability for up to four daisy-chained units - ideal for engineers who demand precision without compromise.

Mastering-Grade 32-Bit Conversion and Unrivalled Transparency
The Horizon 32 features elite ESS ES9823PRO and ES9039 converters paired with ultra-low-noise op-amps, delivering 133 dB A-weighted dynamic range and 32-bit / 192 kHz resolution. This mastering-grade conversion captures every detail with surgical precision, while ultra-low jitter hybrid analogue/digital PLL clocking ensures rock-solid stereo imaging and reveals the pure, uncoloured character of your analogue hardware.

Sub-Millisecond Native Performance Without DSP Restrictions
Built on Thunderbolt 3, the Horizon 32 achieves 0.99 ms round-trip latency at 192 kHz with a 64-sample buffer. Engineers can leverage full Apple Silicon processing power for native VST, AU, or AAX plugins with zero perceptible lag. Selectable +18 dBu and +24 dBu reference levels enable precise headroom calibration for outboard gear.

Workflow-First Connectivity and Massive System Scalability
The Horizon 32 includes dedicated stereo mix-bus inputs on channels 33–34 for printing finished analogue mixes without occupying primary DB25 line inputs. Independent stereo monitor outputs keep reference listening separate from tracking paths. Up to four Horizon units daisy-chain over Thunderbolt with BNC Word Clock synchronization, creating a unified 200 x 200 channel rig controlled via Horizon Control software and Motion UI display.
