ADA8S (192kHz) - Advanced Mic/Line Input & Output Card
The ADA8S sets a new standard in compact and energy-efficient audio solutions, capable of up to 192 kHz sampling rates. These innovative Mic/Line Input and Output cards are perfect for configuring a Horus with up to 48 Analog In/Out channels or a Hapi with up to 16 Analog In/Out channels.
Features:
- 8 high-clarity, Swiss-designed pre-amplifiers.
- Remote/Local switching to Line Level for each channel.
- Full remote access for all adjustments.
- Customizable Phantom Power/Phase/Low Cut/Impedance for each channel.
- Impressive dynamic range: 120dB on Line inputs, 123dB on Line outputs.
- Auto-mute for pop-free power cycling.
- Digitally controlled output trims
The ADA8S, with its advanced design and exceptional audio quality, is ideal for professional audio applications demanding precision and reliability.
