| Cranesong Spider 8-Channel Mic-Preamplifier/Mixer Details
The Cranesong Spider 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.
Input Channel
Similar in design to Flamingo's mic pre, Spider's input preamplifier follows an extremely high quality Class A Discrete audio path, crucial to any critical listening enviroment.
Output Section
The stereo ouput 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.
- Master stereo level control
- Insert point between the bus master and the A/D convertor. This also functions as an unbalanced analog output.
- LED level meter for the stereo bus referenced to the A/D convertor
- Peak limiter with an LED to indicate limiter action for A/D protection
- Switch selectable Analog Dither control, 15 to 24 bits
- Sample rate selection to 96Khz
- WC input and output
- DSP for analog tape emulation
- Digital output AES
8 Channel Digital Section
Extremely high quality, low noise A/D convertors enable unmatched clarity of audio conversion, in it's class.
