with virtually all parameter control taking place at the console – including the award-winning
MIDAS-designed mic preamps, +48 V phantom power, destination routing, etc. Just put the
SD8 where you want it, run a few Cat 5e, mic and instrument cables – and head for the console.
The SD8 makes setting the stage up virtually foolproof!
8 Servo-Balanced XLR Outputs
The SD8 features 8 XLR balanced outputs, allowing you to connect to your amp racks,
active loudspeakers and monitors. Thanks to its reference-class Cirrus Logic* 24-bit converters,
SD8’s digital operation eliminates even the slightest possibility of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
and crosstalk. You get ultra-pristine audio performance, no matter your application – something
unheard of in this class!
