Designed to integrate at the heart of a studio or stage, this preamp/converter combines an ultra-quiet gain topology with high-resolution conversion. The high-contrast OLED screen facilitates reading and settings adjustment even in low-light conditions, while fan cooling ensures stability during long sessions.
Ideal for professional studios, broadcast, and multichannel live recording, it excels on demanding sources: acoustic ensembles, vocals, ambient recordings, or instruments with wide dynamic range. Remote control allows placing the unit close to microphones, reducing cable lengths and optimizing signal-to-noise ratio, while managing gain and routing from the control room.
Each channel offers a wide gain range from -8 to 74 dB to precisely adjust levels, from ribbon microphones to the most sensitive condensers. Front-panel high-impedance inputs facilitate direct instrument connection without additional boxes.
The conversion section ensures faithful reproduction up to 192 kHz. The Word Clock input/output guarantees solid synchronization with the rest of the digital setup, whether working with AES, ADAT, or via USB Class 2.
Besides local control, the device can be controlled via RS485/RS422/MIDI (m802 RCU remote control or Pro Tools integration) and through the RJ45 network. An optional Audinate/DANTE slot provides access to audio-over-IP transport for large-scale configurations.
The built-in headphone amplifier, powered by a dedicated D/A converter, offers direct monitoring of a pair of channels or computer playback with minimal latency, ideal for musicians and recording engineers.
