This product offers 8 channels, allowing you to efficiently connect and manage multiple audio sources simultaneously. Each channel operates independently, giving you full control over each input, greatly expanding your ability to create and edit sound.
8 preamplifiers provide high quality sound processing for 8 independent channels. Each preamplifier ensures clear and detailed sound, minimizes noise, and provides excellent dynamics.
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
High-quality AD conversion ensures that every detail and dynamic range of analog audio is preserved when converted to digital form, ideal for professional recording and production. This allows analog sound sources such as microphones and instruments to be accurately recorded in digital systems.
ADAT is a digital transmission protocol that allows the transmission of up to 8 channels of digital audio over a single optical cable (Toslink). It is often used in studio applications to increase the number of audio channels between devices such as audio interfaces and digital mixers. ADAT allows for high-quality audio transmission while providing more channels at lower sample rates. This format is ideal for situations where it is necessary to transmit multiple channels of digital audio without loss of quality.
DA conversion allows digital signals to be converted to analog signals with high accuracy. This process ensures that digital audio is reproduced with minimal distortion, preserving all the fine details and dynamics of the original sound. Thanks to high-quality DA conversion, the sound is clear, rich, and true to the original when played through speakers or headphones.
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
S/PDIF is a digital interface used to transfer high-quality audio between devices such as CD players, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and home theaters. It transfers audio signals in digital form without any loss of quality. S/PDIF ensures clean and accurate signal transmission without the need for conversion to analog form, minimizing noise and interference, making it ideal for professional and home audio systems.
