Four Tascam-pinout DB25 connectors carry 16 channels in and 16 out of 32-bit conversion, so your summing box and outboard chain stay wired while everything else happens in the DAW. Audient's mid-size Thunderbolt flagship, available at Soundium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32 channels of elite conversion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 in and 16 out of analogue I\/O across four industry-standard DB25 connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e133 dB dynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e ESS ES9823PRO and ES9039 converters running 32-bit \/ 192 kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.99 ms round-trip latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thunderbolt 3 at a 64-sample buffer, so native plugins track in real time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated mix-bus path:\u003c\/strong\u003e A separate stereo print path keeps all 16 D-Sub channels wired to your outboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScales to 200 × 200:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daisy-chain up to four Horizon units under one macOS driver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual ADAT and BNC word clock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 more digital channels plus sync with switchable internal termination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustomer Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost project studios outgrow their interface on I\/O long before they outgrow its sound. Horizon 16 pushes that ceiling back: sixteen analogue sends and returns stay permanently patched to the rack, the stereo monitor outputs sit outside the mix bus, and Horizon Control re-routes the whole matrix in software. If the room later grows, the same driver covers up to four chained units, so an upgrade is another box rather than a new workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 in \/ 34 out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 in \/ 16 out via 4 × DB25 (Tascam pinout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConversion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32-bit \/ 192 kHz, 133 dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual ADAT in\/out, BNC word clock in\/out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHost connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thunderbolt 3, forward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound-trip latency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.99 ms at 192 kHz \/ 64 samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference levels:\u003c\/strong\u003e +18 dBu \/ +24 dBu, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions and weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48.3 × 33 × 4.45 cm, 4.05 kg, 1U all-metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProject studios running a summing box or a 16-channel outboard rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProducers who need transparent conversion more than more preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRooms planning to scale I\/O later without changing driver or workflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emacOS only, over Thunderbolt 3 and forward compatible with Thunderbolt 4 and 5; registering in Audient ARC unlocks the bundled plugin and software offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePros \u0026amp; Cons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pros\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Same converters and latency figures as the larger Horizon 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Dedicated mix-bus inputs keep the main I\/O free\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Fanless 1U chassis, quiet enough for the control room\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Chainable to 200 × 200 I\/O if the room grows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"cons\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ macOS only — there is no Windows driver for the Horizon range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ No mic preamps on board; pair it with Horizon 8P or your existing pres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ Four DB25 looms are a real cabling cost on top of the interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your outboard is good and your interface is the part holding the session up, Horizon 16 is the smaller half of the same argument the Horizon 32 makes.
