FireWire audio interface for Mac and Windows - provides 16
inputs with 8 mic preamps and 12 outputs including separate
phone and main outs for all the basic I/O you
need for a powerful desktop studio. Eight XLR/TRS "combo
jack" mic inputs - connect up to eight mics, or
mix and match mics with guitars, synths, drum machines and
other analog input signals. Flexible analog inputs - each
provides a crystal-clear preamp (for both the XLR and TRS
input), 24-bit 96 kHz converters, individually switchable 48-volt phantom power,
20 dB pad and front-panel trim controls. Mix and match
condenser and dynamic microphones as your needs require. Eight
channels of ADAT optical I/O - provides two sets of
optical connectors to provide eight channels of optical digital I/O
even at high samples rates (88.2 or 96 kHz).
Operates as an optical expander - connect the 8pre to
any ADAT optical compatible device (another audio interface, a digital
mixer, etc.) to add 8 additional mic inputs seamlessly integrated
into the mixing environment of the host device. Discrete
ins/outs - there's no channel sharing in the 8pre; the
mic inputs, ADAT optical I/O, headphone out and main outs
are all handled as separate channels. CueMix DSP™ near-zero
monitoring system. Multiple CueMix DSP mixes - create different
monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones. Add send/return
loops for outboard gear with no latency. Front-panel metering

for clock and interface/expander mode. Sample-accurate MIDI - connect
a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface
needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software. Expandable

Traveler FireWire interfaces for additional I/O. Or connect the 8pre
optically to any audio interface or mixer that supports ADAT
optical I/O. Separate TRS main outs and front-panel headphone
jack, each with independent volume control. SMPTE time code
