Here for sale is a Digidesign PRE 8 microphone preamp. This is the silver version rather than the newer Avid gunmetal version which is exactly the same just a different colour and costs £2000. It is in very good condition and has had very little use. Here is a link to the units specshttp://www.avid.com/products/pro-tools-preand here : https://www.thomann.de/gb/digidesign_pro_tools_pre.htmDigidesign PRE microphone preamp is designed especially for use with Pro Tools HD systems and it can just as easily used as a stand-alone microphone preamp, featuring matched-transistor, hybrid mic preamp circuits and offering a transparent & pristine signal path.Digidesign PRE can be configured manually using its front panel switches and displays, with or without remote control. It can also be remotely-controlled by other MIDI devices through standard MIDI controller data.Eight high-performance, matched-transistor, hybrid microphone pre-amplification circuitsSupport for microphone (XLR), direct instrument (DI), and line level inputs (1/4")Each channel includes a high pass filter, phase reverse, 48V (phantom power), and -18 dB padBalanced insert points (Send and Return) for easy integration of outboard gear, such as compressors or EQsFully remote-controllable using Pro Tools HD software or an Avid control surface - allows for the highest fidelity by keeping low-level signals close to the sourceUp to 9 PREs supported through software for up to 72 channels of remote-controlled preamplificationSelectable impedance matching for microphone, line, or instrument inputsMIDI In/Out/Thru ports for remote operationRedundant hot-swappable power suppliesAll features supported in standalone mode, making PRE an ideal analog front end for any recording system Number of Channels 8 Inputs 8 x XLR
