Audient - HORIZON 16 - 16 Line I/O New generation Thunderbolt interface

Welcome to the new standard.The Horizon 16 is a 34-in / 34-out ThunderboltTM 3 audio interface and converter built around 16 channels of line I/O over four DB25 connectors and 32-bit conversion at 133dB dynamic range. With a dedicated stereo mix-bus path and 0.99ms round-trip latency, the 16 keeps an entire outboard rack patched and printing to the DAW without sacrificing inputs — designed for the engineer integrating analogue hardware or instruments into a hybrid mixing workflow.

key features • 34-in / 34-out connectivity over ThunderboltTM 3
• 16-in / 16-out primary line I/O over four DB25 connectorsl
• Dedicated stereo mix-bus inputs for printing your master
• Dedicated stereo monitor outputs for independent reference listening
• 32-bit / 192kHz conversion, 133dB dynamic range
• 0.99ms round-trip latency (192kHz, 64-sample buffer)
• Dual ADAT I/O — 16 channels of digital expansion
• Horizon Control software — virtual patch bay, custom monitoring and extensive metering
• Advanced monitor control — mono, polarity, dim and reference level
• Selectable reference levels (+18dBu, +24dBu) and BNC word clock I/O
• Scalable architecture — daisy-chain up to four Horizon units on a single driver, with a system maximum of 200 × 200 I/O
• 1U all-metal chassis, three-year warranty
• macOS, up to 192kHz

The 16 is built to sit at the centre of a hybrid studio. Sixteen channels of line I/O over four DB25 connectors keep a full rack of compressors, EQs and a summing box permanently patched, while a dedicated stereo mix-bus path lets you print your master back to the DAW without unplugging a thing. With 32-bit conversion at 133dB dynamic range your outboard returns exactly as it left, uncoloured, and 0.99ms round-trip latency keeps native plugins lag-free. Horizon Control handles routing, monitoring and metering from one panel — and when a session outgrows a single unit, you can daisy-chain up to four for 200 in and 200 out on one driver.
