The Solid State Logic Alpha 8 Audio Interface builds on the acclaimed Alpha Link range, providing the sonic accuracy and flexible routing in a compact 1U interface to bring pro level conversion to smaller and home studios.
The Solid State Logic Alpha 8 Audio Interface is an 8-in/8-out professional-grade analogue to digital, digital to analogue converter, perfect for expanding your audio interface via ADAT and S/PDIF. Alternatively, you can configure ALPHA 8 to address all analogue and digital I/O simultaneously via USB, giving you an 18-in/18-out audio interface. Featuring class-leading conversion, flexible routing, and impeccable audio performance, ALPHA 8 unlocks the full potential of your setup. Using next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz converters, ALPHA 8 brings SSL-grade audio performance to your studio. With huge dynamic range, stunningly low THD+N and crosstalk, and exceptionally low noise floor, ALPHA 8 delivers line-level heaven for your analogue outboard processing, samplers, synths and drum machines. The compromise is over – capture your sound with the quality it deserves.
ALPHA 8 is capable of many different routing configurations to suit your specific needs, making sure you can get the most out of all the digital and analogue I/O it offers. Whether you need a simple bidirectional Analogue <> ADAT/SPDIF converter, an aggregate 18-in/18-out USB audio interface, or a mixture of the two, ALPHA 8 provides flexible routing options for its analogue and digital I/O. ALPHA 8’s flexible analogue and digital routing unlocks a multitude of workflow possibilities. Create hardware insert paths for 500 Series modules, outboard EQs, compressors, or hardware FX. Use the S/PDIF I/O for integrating external metering or amp simulators. Alternatively, make Alpha 8 your primary interface, seamlessly connecting analogue and digital devices to your DAW via USB-C. For electronic music producers, ALPHA 8’s outputs are capable of outputting Control Voltage to control synthesisers, modular rigs and CV-enabled FX pedals.
