Hotone Japan will handle domestic sales of Audient's Horizon series, a line of Thunderbolt 3 audio interfaces built for professional studios. Three models are listed: the Horizon 8P and Horizon 16 at ¥450,000 each, and the Horizon 32 at ¥594,000, with sales set to begin Friday, October 2, 2026. All three use 32-bit AD/DA conversion and run at 0.99 ms round-trip latency.
Hotone Japan, the authorized Audient distributor, will begin selling the Horizon series domestically on Friday, October 2, 2026. The line runs on Thunderbolt 3 and is aimed at professional and mission-critical studio work.
Audient rates the interfaces at 0.99 ms round-trip latency at 192 kHz and a 64-sample buffer, with 32-bit conversion and a 133 dB dynamic range. The pitch is a native, DAW-centered setup: no DSP requirement, no proprietary system, and up to four units daisy-chained through one driver for a maximum of 200 inputs and 200 outputs, a figure Audient attaches to four Horizon 32 units.
