Whether for microphone, instrument or line signals, the Súper 8 guarantees exceptional results in all situations.
Its compact 2-unit rack design makes it an ideal choice for studios of all sizes, providing a perfect combination of sound quality and portability.

Featuring 8 Class A mic/line preamps, each channel is designed with Carnhill transformers at the input and output for transparent and warm sound reproduction.
Additionally, the first two channels are equipped with a high-quality DI JFET input and a fully adjustable high-pass filter, providing additional flexibility for a range of applications.

It is compatible with three different digital formats (ADAT, AES/EBU and SPDIF) and offers reliable synchronization thanks to the BNC connectors for the clock.

With its exceptional versatility, the Super 8 can be used as a master or slave, allowing precise synchronization with other units.
Additionally, the ability to choose an alternate input for each channel provides maximum flexibility when using EQs, compressors or other external devices before digital conversion.
