Crane Song SpiderJust back from full inspection / calibration at Crane Song HQ this past month.Includes Crane Song Spider, Power Supply, Power Cord, Stereo output XLR cable, 8-Channel direct output XLR cable (Not rack box pictured)This is an amazing tool and a lot of folks' favorite preamp. It's also upgradeable for the life of the unit which allows it to keep pace with advances in converter technology. The fat switches make this extremely versatile for everything from classical music to rock drums. Has DSP tape effect modeled on Ampex 456 on each channel along with the master bus. I used this to record two releases for MIT based Neuroscientist Grace Leslie's Vessel's project of brainwave and flute music. From Crane SongSpider is a high-quality eight 8-channel mic-pre amplifier/mixer with two types of digital outputs: stereo and eight (8) channel. The stereo output is for recording engineers who do live stereo or multi-channel recording and want a very flexible audio path. The 8 channel output allows the system to function as an analog front end for DAW's, digital mixers, and modular digital recorders.In addition, the stereo bus 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. (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
