Each channel has its own phantom-power, polarity and pad controls, making it possible to accommodate a mixed microphone setup. The 10–66 dB gain range and individual metering help you build a consistent recording level across drums, instruments or a group of performers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdd analogue processing before conversion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDB25 insert sends and returns give external compressors and equalisers a place in the recording path. Switching the inserts from the front panel makes it easier to compare the processed signal with the unprocessed version. Keeping those hardware routes wired into a patchbay can turn a collection of outboard into an efficient tracking system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnalogue and digital studio connections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue XLR outputs support connection to a mixer or separate converter, while ADAT provides a route into a compatible recording interface. Conversion supports up to 24-bit\/192 kHz; the number of channels available over ADAT depends on sample rate and the optical connections in use. Check the receiving interface’s capabilities when planning high-rate sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep the recording rig coordinated\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMacro-MMC clocking and BNC word-clock connectivity allow the 8DAT to work as part of a synchronised digital system. The 2U format combines the preamps, conversion and routing controls in one place. It is a practical choice when you need substantial microphone expansion but also want access to analogue processing and outputs, rather than a digital-only preamp box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Lion Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58999131799935,"sku":"AUTEUR-8DAT","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/black-lion-audio-auteur-8dat-auteur-8dat-front-2560.jpg?v=1793277986","url":"https:\/\/sxpro.co.uk\/products\/black-lion-audio-auteur-8dat","provider":"SX Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
