«  8 or 4 inputs according to the sampling »

Published on 11/13/14 at 03:15
Value For Money : Excellent
Analog-digital channels with 8 XLR Mic and Line sub-D25 + 1x8 ADAT channels at 44.1 and 48 kHz and 2x4 channels 88 and 96 kHz output converter.
8 XLR inputs, 2 instrument inputs with high impedance jack.
Rack Model 9 "1U.
48V phantom power - low cut filter - compression - level.

I bought the ADAT card surcharge Thomann to plug a Creamware Pulsar 2.
Bought a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 then.

Expensive but affordable.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration. Difficulty working in 96 kHz sound cards. The outputs are limited in high frequency optical cable.
Useful for recording separate batteries for home pickups and amps.

SOUND QUALITY

Its very clean. Transparent. Shine in the midrange I prefer to use rather than the inputs of my Saffire, there are fewer limits and the sound is better. Very good rendition of the dynamic microphones.
Discrete compression.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 7 years.

I have not had any other models to compare.

Pros: Sound quality. Useful options slices. Good quality / price ratio.
The -: No D / A conversion - 4 inputs 96 kHz - Prefer a Mk2.

Yes, I am very happy.
