Audient Horizon 32 Line I/O Thunderbolt Interface

Full Description

Connect your whole analog setup

With 32 line inputs and 32 line outputs across eight DB25 connectors, the Horizon 32 is built for studios working with extensive analog equipment. You can connect a large-format console or sizeable rack of external processors to your DAW while keeping everything together within a single 1U interface. This gives you enough primary line I/O to accommodate demanding hybrid setups without constantly changing connections between sessions.

Thunderbolt 3 provides 50 inputs and 50 outputs overall, bringing analog and digital connectivity into one system. It is a practical approach for facilities that need high channel counts while keeping their existing studio workflow intact.

Keep master printing on its own path

A dedicated stereo mix-bus input gives your final mix a separate route back into the DAW, leaving all 32 primary line inputs available for other equipment. This is particularly useful when your console or outboard setup already occupies a large number of connections.

Dedicated stereo monitor outputs provide an independent path for reference listening, while advanced monitor controls put mono, polarity, dim, and reference level functions within easy reach. Selectable +18dBu and +24dBu reference levels also help you integrate the Horizon 32 with different studio hardware, giving you useful flexibility when building a larger analog and digital system.

Capture clean detail at high channel counts

The Horizon 32 combines 32-bit conversion with sample rates up to 192kHz and 133dB of dynamic range. This allows signals from your console or external processors to return to the DAW without unwanted colour, helping you preserve the sound created by your analog equipment. Low-latency operation keeps software processing practical alongside that hardware workflow.

At 192kHz with a 64-sample buffer, round-trip latency can reach 0.99ms, letting you monitor through native plugins without perceptible lag. This combination makes it easier to work across analog equipment and software while maintaining a responsive monitoring experience throughout larger sessions.

Expand and control your complete rig

Horizon Control brings routing, monitoring, extensive metering, and an onboard comfort Reverb into one software panel. Its virtual patch bay helps you manage signals across a busy studio setup without having to handle every routing change physically.

Dual ADAT input and output provides another 16 channels of digital expansion, while BNC word clock I/O supports integration with compatible digital equipment. And when one interface is no longer enough, you can daisy-chain up to four Horizon units using a single driver. This scalable architecture supports systems reaching 200 inputs and 200 outputs, letting your connectivity grow while maintaining the same Horizon workflow.
