The Z&H Designs HO8 8-Channel Preamp delivers eight channels of all-discrete, high-voltage analog gain for engineers who need serious tracking capability without giving up tone, depth, or control.
With 24 independent high-voltage opamps, up to 75dB of mic gain, and a 56V linear power supply, the HO8 is built to handle everything from vocals and acoustic instruments to piano, drums, choir, and full orchestral sessions with confidence. Designed as a transparent yet character-capable 8-channel microphone preamp, the HO8 gives you clean, vivid, and lively capture when you want realism, while its Z&H trim control lets you push into added analog color when the track calls for extra attitude. Each channel includes practical studio tools like 48V phantom power, pad, polarity invert, and a 100Hz high-pass filter, making the HO8 a powerful front end for professional studios, mobile rigs, and multi-mic recording setups. The all-discrete circuit design and carefully matched channels help maintain consistency across complex sessions, while the high-voltage linear power supply supports excellent headroom, low noise, and a spacious sonic presentation. Whether you are capturing delicate acoustic detail or building a full-band production, the HO8 brings boutique analog tone to large-format recording workflows.
