The Heritage Audio Super 8 Microphone Preamp provides eight channels of transformer coupled preamps in the classic British style, along with a premium 24bit 192kHz ADC to give you classic tone, and modern flexibility. This makes the Super 8 a power house for drum recording.
The Heritage Audio Super 8 Microphone Preamp makes professionally capturing 8 signals of Class A, vintage, vibey audio and converting them for seamless transfer to your DAW as easy as possible. The SUPER 8 Preamps are complete with the features you ́ve come to expect. Each channel has a button to activate the 48v Phantom power, a LINE button to prepare the input for Line Level signals, a PHASE button to flip it 180º, and a LoCut button to produce a -3db cut at 80Hz. The first channels are also equipped with a LO Z button which will change the input impedance from 1200Ohm to 300Ohm, a PAD button to reduce the input -20db, our famous JFET D.I. as well as a fully sweepable LoCut filter. Everything you could possibly ask for in a preamp
his high quality, premium ADC is 24Bit and offers selectable internal sampling frequencies variable from 44.1k to 192k in addition to being externally syncable by WordClock. Three different digital outputs options are available; ADAT, SPDIF and AES/EBU to make sure all of your needs are taken care of. One of the neatest features of the unit is the ability to individually, per channel, decide whether the signal converted and sent to the DAW comes directly from the corresponding input(preamp) or from an external source. What this allows you to do is send your preamped signal out to a processor and then return it to the unit so it can be converted digitally and sent along to your DAW
