Mergining Technology Horus Converter (Base Unit)

What is Horus? Horus might be one of the worlds most sonically transparent mic pres. Horus might also be one of the most phenomenal AD/DA boxes on the market. Horus could very well be the ultimate answer to anyone wanting analog/AES/MADI interconnectivity in the room they work in. It is a revolution in bang-for-buck technology and is set to become the de-facto 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.

Using standard network connections, switches and connectors, Horus and other Ravenna-enabled devices can be placed on a network and interconnected in any way you can imagine.

The Horus Base 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 200 inputs and 202 outputs @1FS.

Route Signal Anywhere

Horus has been designed so that any input can be routed to any amount of outputs as required... or at the same time. With comprehensive routing pages accessible both locally on the touchscreen and by remote access using a standard web browser, Horus is your answer to signal flow management in your studio.

Your RAVENNA passport, no matter where you come from

Pyramix users are of course our first love, but we are offering any DAW/NLE user the opportunity to take advantage of RAVENNA by using the ASIO (PC) / CoreAudio (Mac) drivers bundled with Horus. So, even if your tool of choice was not RAVENNA already, it is now.

Green Built

For power-conscious users, Horus has been meticulously designed in order to keep consumption at an incredible minimum. A Horus running 24 channels of phantom power enabled preamps will only draw about 60W, making it more affordable to run than your kitchen lights. A Horus with a full complement of AD8D pre-amps will be closer to 120W.

IOC-HORUS Key Features

• 200 inputs and 202 outputs @1FS (depending on card options)

• Works from 44.1kHz to 192kHz (Premium up to DXD/DSD256)
• Signal routing from any input to any combination of outputs
• Works as MADI/AES AD/DA for “standard” operation, AND • Works in RAVENNA mode to deliver all I/O through the network
• Front panel touch screen for local access
• Browser-based remote access using any web enabled device
• Dual or redundant power supply option
• Near-zero latency from in to out (<1ms)

Option cards (Sold Separately) 

IOM-H-AD8D/AD8DP
Key Features

• 8 x exceptionally transparent, Swiss designed pre-amplifiers
• Remote/Local switch to Line Level on a per channel basis
• Completely remote accessible for all parameter changes
• Phantom Power/Phase/Low Cut switchable per channel
• Analog direct output signal path, post-mic pre, pre A/D
• Better than 120dB dynamic range

IOM-H-ADA8
Key Features
Combines 8 channels of A/D and 8 channels of D/A on a single card (up to 192kHz)
• 8 x exceptionally transparent, Swiss designed pre-amplifiers
• Remote/Local switch to Line Level on a per channel basis
• Completely accessible remotely for all parameter changes
• Phantom Power/Phase/Low Cut/Impedance switchable per channel
• Dynamic range of 120dB (A-weighted, typ) on the Line inputs

• Digitally controlled output trims for line up procedures
• Dynamic range of 123dB (A-weighted, typ) on the Line outputs

IOM-H-DA8/DA8P
Key Features
The DA8 (up to 192kHz) and the DA8P (up to DXD/DSD256) have consistently shown in testing to be the quietest multichannel D/A conversion modules available anywhere.
• Auto-mute circuitry for “no-pop” power cycling
• Digitally controlled trims for line up procedures
• Dynamic range of 127dB (typ)
• Easy to set dip switches for international operating levels

IOM-HORUS-MADM/MADS
The MADI Expansion card (MADM - Multimode / MADS - Singlemode) doubles the total MADI channel count to 128 inputs and 128 outputs @1FS

6 Option slots that fit any combo of:

    • 8 Channel Mic/Line Input Card (AD8D / AD8DP)
      • AD8D sample rates from 44.1 -> 192kHz
      • AD8DP sample rates from 44.1 ->384 kHz, DXD/DSD64/128/256
    • 8 Channel Line Out Card (DA8/DA8P)
      • DA8 Sample rates from 44.1 -> 192kHz
      • DA8P sample rates from 44.1 ->384 kHz, DXD/DSD64/128/256
    • 8 Channel Mic/Line Input & 8 Channel Line Out Card (ADA8)
      • Sample rates from 44.1 -> 192kHz


Note: P and “non-P” cards (Premium and Standard) can be mixed in the same unit

1 Digital Option Slot for:

  • additional 64 I/O MADI coaxial/optical MADM/MADS)

Redundant Power Options:

  • Optional redundant power supply for failsafe use.
    *Mandatory when using more than 3xAD8D/AD8DP in a single unit due to increased power consumption*
