The SPL P8 Microphone Preamp is a eight-channel microphone preamplifier with discrete technology. This version is configured with the eight-channel AD converter with ADAT outputs. The P8 paves the way for high-quality multi-channel recording sessions!
The SPL P8 Microphone Preamp 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.
Preamps
The SPL P8 Microphone Preamp is equipped with eight preamplifers. These have a discrete design and they are tuned for a sound- neutral, open and transparent characteristic. The gain control can be used to adjust the preamplifcation. The control range ranges between +8 dB und +62 dB – so even really demanding microphones can unfold their full potential! Each of the eight preamplifers has a 48V switch. This switch activates the required phantom power of 48 volts for the use of condenser microphones.
AD Converter
This SPL P8 Microphone Preamp is configured with the eight-channel AD converter with ADAT outputs. The digital outputs replace the second analog wight-channel DB25 output of the P8. This alloes the P8 to be connected directly to the digital ADAT inputs of an audio interface.
Microphone Inputs
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.
Looks great, feels great – and lasts for a lifetime
P8 has a 4 mm thick, black anodized aluminum front panel and aluminum knobs milled from solid. The housing is made of high-quality steel and is powder-coated in elegant black.
Sounds good
With all SPL devices we develop not only according to plan, but also by ear. Many important components are installed on the circuit boards using Through-hole technology. This way we can ensure that we can use the best sounding components.
