Number of Channels

Number of Preamps: 8

8 preamplifiers provide high quality sound processing for 8 independent channels. Each preamplifier ensures clear and detailed sound, minimizes noise, and provides excellent dynamics.

Phantom Power: Yes

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.

Bit Depth: 32 bit

The 32-bit depth provides an extremely wide dynamic range and extreme precision in audio processing. This format is ideal for professional recording, post-production and sound design, where it is essential to capture every detail with maximum precision and minimum noise. 32-bit depth ensures the highest possible quality, which is especially important when processing highly dynamic audio.

S/PDIF: Yes

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.

ADAT: Yes

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.

AES/EBU: Yes

AES/EBU is a professional digital audio transmission standard for transmitting two channels of digital audio over balanced XLR cables. It is a high-quality interface that is widely used in studio and professional audio applications. AES/EBU transmits the signal in a format similar to S/PDIF, but with greater reliability and robustness for professional environments, ensuring clean signal transmission over long distances. This format is ideal for situations where stability and digital sound quality are important.
