8 Channel Preamp microphone or line transistor 1U
The first two channels have an instrument input / DI
Phantom power supply,-20dB pad, phase reverse and adjustable high-pass filter (25-250 Hz) and impedance setting for each channel.
8 XLR microphone inputs, line input and line output on pin 25 db
Ability to add a card to convert to ADAT and AES.

UTILIZATION

Simple, plug it sounds. However, it must have cable db25 to XLR or jack to connect the I / O line converters / sound card.
The 1U form factor is perfect for travel, save lives without having to carry huge racks. Save 16 tracks ADAT has never been more compact and reliable.

SOUND QUALITY

Preamp transparent without being aggressive. No background noise, even in settings with high levels of gain. It is definitely in the top of the range. I save a lot of violins and other acoustic instruments that can quickly become shrill and have not this problem. Nothing to do with integrated preamp card entry / mid-range.
I have not had time to test different impedances, since the difference is minimal sound of condenser microphones that I use, for against that should be interesting for ribbon microphones or dynamics.

OVERALL OPINION

Use now for a good year for acoustic instruments of folk / traditional.
I love the clean and fair restitution, no frills: It has what is played. The dynamics are well respected.
I love the compact size makes it easy to carry around the can.
I recommend strongly to all those who want to record 8 tracks clean easily
