Slightly used, from smoke free studio. Includes power supply and extra module To buy this new it is $7999, great deal on a gently used set of mic pres plus much more!!Crane Song spider and power supply is only included. Anything else in the rack and or the rack itself is not included.Crane Song Spider is a high-quality, Class A, 8-channel mic-pre amplifier/mixer with two types of digital outputs: stereo and eight-channel. The stereo output is for recording engineers who do live stereo or multi-channel recording and want a very flexible audio path. The eight-channel output allows the system to function as an analog front end for DAW's, digital mixers, and modular digital recorders. This unit is an amazing piece for anyone interested in getting top quality sounds into your DAW. With analogue and digital outputs, the built in A/D converters are also up there with the best. In addition, the stereo bus can be assigned to digital channels 7 and 8. This allows a stereo mix of six channels to be assigned to digital outs 7 and 8 and leaves two channels independent (eg. drums; kick, snare, and stereo left to right). Both the discrete class A pre-amp and the convertor modules are of a very high quality, low noise design. The maximum analog level at the insert points is +25 dBm. The digital modules include a DSP process to provide tape emulation.Includes power supply. Spider 8-channel Class A Mic Preamp, Mixer, and A/D ConvertorCrane Song Spider - Dave Hill, whose resume includes designing some of the most respected preamps in the industry for other manufacturers, struck off on his own to found Crane Song, whose designs are not only born of his previous experience, but tested ("tweezed" as he puts it) in combat so to speak, in a professional, 24-track 2" studio while high-dollar clients look on.

The 8 channel output allows the system to function as an analog front end for DAW's, digital mixers, and modular digital recorders.Assignable Stereo BusThe stereo bus of the Crane Song Spider can be assigned to digital channels 7 and 8. This allows a stereo mix of 6 channels to be assigned to digital outs 7 and 8 and leaves 2 channels independent.
