VERTOpro 32
Dual MADI optional
Dantify your equipment. In no time.
VERTOpro 32 provides a flexible routing matrix, a high resolution color display, integrated headphone monitoring and complete front-panel operation.
Four ADAT inputs and four ADAT outputs provide up to 32 × 32 channels at 48 kHz. The Dante interface provides up to 64 × 64 channels and supports both switched and redundant network operation as well as AES67.
Two MADI SFP slots allow VERTOpro 32 to be expanded with optional MADI functionality.
Sample rates of up to 192 kHz are supported.
Dante Plug & Play Eco System
The VERTOpro 32 fits directly into scalable network infrastructures of the Dante Eco System. The fabulous Dante control software allows it to route all channels freely within the network.
Remote Control via Network
The VERTOpro 32 can be remotely controlled via the Dante Network. The Dante audio streams can be used to send and receive embedded MIDI messages.
- 3″ IPS Color Display – Level meters, routing, clock status, interface status and device configuration.
- Flexible Routing Matrix – 8-channel block routing plus individual single-channel routing.
- Integrated Headphone Monitoring – Direct monitoring of digital input/output signals without affecting the routing.
- Presets: Eight device presets.
- Device Lock – Protects the device against unauthorized or accidental configuration changes.
- RemoteFish – Remote control from Windows or macOS via USB-MIDI or MIDI.
- USB-C – For USB-MIDI, RemoteFish and firmware updates.
- MIDI CC – Device functions can be controlled using MIDI Control Change messages.
Full Display Control & Routing
The VERTOpro 32 can be configured directly from the front panel.
The high-resolution 3″ IPS color display provides level metering, clock and interface status, routing information and access to the device configuration.
The internal routing matrix allows signals to be routed freely between Dante, ADAT and when the optional MADI functionality is activated with MADI.
Routing can be performed quickly in blocks of eight channels or individually on a per-channel basis.
VERTOpro 32 provides two additional MADI SFP slots.
MADI functionality can be activated with an optional MADI license and suitable Ferrofish MADI SFP modules.
The two MADI ports can then be used as:
- Two independent MADI streams
- A redundant MADI connection
- MADI-to-MADI routing
- MADI-to-Dante routing
- MADI-to-ADAT routing
Available Ferrofish MADI SFP options:
- Multimode optical – up to 2 km
- Singlemode optical – up to 10 km
- Coax – up to 100 m

INPUTS & OUTPUTS
ADAT I/O Channels
Dante I/O Channels
4 x ADAT I/O (TOSLINK)
Each ADAT port can transfer eight channels at a sample rate of 48 kHz (= 32 In + 32 Out channels). With 96 kHz it is possible to convert 16 Dante I/O to ADAT (S/MUX2).
Dante Network I/O (redundant)
Two RJ-45 ports connect to any Dante audio network. Simply connect a LAN Ethernet cable (CAT5/CAT6) to the primary port. The secondary port takes automatically over in case of a network error (Dante Port Redundancy).
WORD CLOCK I/O
BNC with 75 Ohm termination.
Set to on by default – can be changed with the remote software via the network connection.
PHONES STEREO TRS (FRONT)
MADI I/O: Dual SFP port
High flexibility:
Support of a single module or a redundant
dual MADI I/O.
SFP Modules: Single-/Multimode and Coaxial.
MIDI I/O
2 × 3.5 mm TRS MIDI Type A MIDI can be used for device control and MIDI CC operation.The Dante data streams can be used to send and receive embedded MIDI messages. A useful feature, to remotely control MIDI equipment in the studio rack or on stage from the FOH.
USB-C port
Firmware updates MIDI control.
USB does not transmit audio.

ADAT Format
Eight Lightpipes
Thanks to an impressive array of 8 ‘Lightpipe’ connections, the Ferrofish VERTO pro 32 integrates a wide variety of studio devices or a loaded stage box into the Dante network. The compact box can add a complete room with audio equipment to the Dante/AES67 network of the facility, like a multi-room studio or a House of Worship´s main sound system.
The VERTO pro 32 can be used as a cost-efficient solution, to add Dante connectivity at a later time to other Ferrofish converters, like the PULSE16/PULSE16 MX and the A32. It can simply turn ADAT-equipped devices, like the RME Firefaces or the RME DIGIface USB, into fully functional Audio-over-IP computer interfaces with Mac and Windows drivers.
The optical ADAT ‘Lightpipe’ interface is still the most affordable way to transfer a variety of audio channels. Originally designed for the Alesis Digital Audio Tape machine – hence the name – in 1991 it is reliable, standardized and still everywhere. Nearly all of todays computer audio interfaces, hardware synthesizers, samplers and even mixing consoles include at least an ADAT port.
Like AES/EBU and SPDIF, the ADAT Lightpipe system is self-clocking — it carries an embedded clock from the source device.
Thanks to the optical connection, ADAT-linked equipment avoids ground-loops and will not transfer harmful electrical spikes from one device to the next.
The ADAT format built-into the The VERTO pro 32 provides the common bit-splitting technique to utilize higher sample rates, than the originally defined 48 kHz. The so-called S/MUX4 (= ‘sample multiplexing’) halved the number of available channels per cable to reach up to 192 kHz.

Simply plug it to the net.
Just like that.
The Ferrofish VERTOpro 32 delivers all the industry-leading features of Dante in a single compact device. Including 64 channels bi-directional transmission and port redundancy. VERTOpro 32 can simply add Dante and AES67 connectivity to an ADAT audio interface or converter. It can integrate isolated islands of ADAT devices to a Dante network.
VERTOpro 32 is out-of-the-box compatible with any other Dante-enabled device. It fits directly into the scalable network infrastructure with up to thousands of channels – with a simple CAT5/6 cable. It is immediately detected with all 64 I/Os and automatically configured. Every room with a Dante LAN connection can be used for recording or mixing – simply plug the VERTOpro 32 into the network and start to work.
Dante is the fastest growing Audio-over-IP Eco System, with countless compatible products from more than a hundred manufacturers.
As a Layer 3 IP-based protocol Dante can work with off-the-shelf network hardware. The usual in-house GBit LAN is perfectly suited for any Dante application with several hundred audio channels. Setting up a Dante network is typically just a matter of plugging devices into an Ethernet switch and connecting a computer for channel routing and management to the network.
A huge advantage of Dante - besides Plug & Play with automatically recognized device names - is the fabulous Dante software manager. With its help audio signals can be made available anywhere and everywhere in the network - even kilometers away. Patching and routing down to a single channel is done in software and not over physical wired links and hardware routers. Millions of audio-payloaded IP packets travel automatically to their designated destinations, with Unicast and Multicast transmission.
Dante provides ultra-reliable clocking via Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and a sophisticated clock master selection. It supports low latency operation, adjustable from 150 microseconds to 5 ms (default: 1 ms for up to 10 switches). Dante includes a suite of diagnostic tools, monitoring the network health status, e. g. device latency monitoring, active clock health monitoring, packet error reporting, and usage statistics.
Besides the main body of audio packets, Dante transmits control data. This way Ferrofish devices can be remote controlled via the network.
Dante is developed and supported by Audinate - a single company, which guarantees a standardized solution and the ongoing compatibility of all Dante-enabled products.
All in all Dante matches perfectly the requirements of any professional audio work.
