A good microphone preamp boosts a mic’s level to almost 400 times that of the original signal, making the preamp one of the most important stages in an audio system. A cheap, off-the-shelf, op-amp-type mic preamp delivers thin, noisy, harsh results. In contrast, PreSonus XMAX™ microphone preamps deliver incredibly high headroom, deep lows, smooth highs, and a rich overall sound. With XMAX preamps, your system’s sound quality is limited only by the microphone you plug in. Its complement of inputs and outputs makes the DigiMax D8 a versatile front end for virtually any system. Two convenient front-panel instrument inputs let you plug in guitars, bypassing the mic inputs. All other connections are in the rear, keeping the wiring out of your face. With eight XLR mic/line inputs, you can plug in virtually any mic- or line-level sound source. Eight ¼-inch, balanced, direct channel outputs allow you to add preamps to devices with line-level inputs or split the mic preamps between two devices. Eight-channel, 24-bit, 44.1/48 kHz ADAT Optical (“Lightpipe”) output makes the DigiMax D8 an excellent way to add more analog inputs to any third-party, Lightpipe-equipped digital-audio device. Better yet, add a DigiMax D8 to a Lightpipe-equipped PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL for a 2-rackspace rig with 16 XMAX-equipped recording channels—enough to record an entire live band. To keep your digital audio in sync with ultra-low jitter, the D8 receives word clock at its BNC connection and sends word clock via ADAT Optical.The DigiMax D8 is a proven solution for adding eight professional microphone preamplifiers to any digital recording system. You can easily integrate it into your studio, thanks to plentiful I/O, variable trim control for each preamp, 48V phantom power (switchable in odd-even pairs), fast-acting LED metering, and a 20 dB pad.Technical SpecificationsInputs Input Type XLR Female Balanced Frequency Response (±0.5 dB) 20 Hz to 50 kHz Frequency Response (±3.0 dB) 20 Hz to 150 kHz Input Impedance (Balanced) 1600Ω THD+N (unwtd, 1 kHz @ +4 dBu Output, Unity Gain) < 0.003% EIN (unwtd, 55 dB Gain, 150Ω Input, 20 Hz to 22 kHz) -126 dBu S/N Ratio (Unity Gain, unwtd, Ref. = +4 dBu, 20 Hz to 22 kHz) >101 dB Common Mode Rejection Ratio (1 kHz, 55 dB Gain) > 55 dB Gain Control Range (±1 dB) -4 dB to 50 dB Maximum Input Level (Unity Gain, 1 kHz @ 0.5% THD+N) +14 dBu Signal Level LEDs +10 dBu (0 dBFS) Red/Clip (±0.5 dBu) +4 dBu (-6 dBFS) Yellow (±0.5 dBu) -8 dBu (-18 dBFS) Green (±0.5 dBu) -14 dBu (-24 dBFS) Phantom Power (±2 VDC) +48 VDC
