With a single stereo mixing bus, the ARC-8 is ideal for fast paced live on air, production, and
remote applications. Two mics supports a host and guest talk format. The mix minus bus (for
an external hybrid) supports Telephone talk formats or call ins. The ‘Talk’ button on mic chan-
nel one feeds the mic to the caller and the caller to the console cue system... fast and easy!
The ARC-8 even has a built in PC USB sound card on channel eight to play in digital directly
from your favorite PC audio software. At the same time, the Program output from the console
records in digital over the USB directly to your PC recording software. Arrakis even provides
DHD-Live software with the system to get you on air & doing production immediately. The
ARC-8 is also easy to install with BOTH professional balanced and consumer unbalanced
input & output jacks. The ARC-8 is ideal for any on air or production radio application !
