Introducing the SPL P8 Microphone Preamp

Introducing the SPL P8 Microphone Preamp! SPL has just announced the new SPL P8 Microphone Preamp. The SPL P8 is equipped with eight identically designed microphone preamplifers. All eight preamps have a discrete design – without ICs, made of individual transistors. This is typical for absolute high-end preamplifers and is one of the main reasons for the outstanding sound. Besides an analog gain control for adjusting the preamplifcation, each of the eight preamps features an individually switchable phantom power supply (48 V), a PAD switch, a phase inversion function and a switchable analog high-pass flter. With the optional eight-channel ADAT converter, the purely analog P8 can be digitally connected to an audio interface.

The eight microphone inputs of the P8 are equipped with Neutrik XLR sockets and gold-plated contacts. The signal transmission is electronically balanced, at a nominal level of 0 dBu. Each of the eight channels on the P8 feature a 47v switch, PAD, HP filter switch, and a polarity switch. This unit is a fantastic option for recording drums as it has all you need and plenty of channels. In the SPL P8 Microphone Preamp w/ ADAT Converter, the converter chip is the highly acclaimed AKM AK5538 ADC chip, which thanks to its architecture, reproduces the finest sound details.
