With superb audio specifications and connectivity and featuring an outstanding microphone preamp, the Tascam SERIES 8p Dyna is a great choice for both studio and stage. Housed in a rugged 1U rack-mount casing, its dual S/MUX optical ports make it a perfect expansion unit for a Tascam SERIES 102i or 208i or other S/MUX-equipped audio interfaces including ADAT, or use it as a stand-alone front end. In addition to eight separate TRS outputs, the SERIES 8p Dyna also has a multi-channel balanced analogue output that connects to an BO-16DX/OUT XLR breakout box, for example. And wordclock I/O ensures perfect synchronisation when using multiple units in parallel or operating with other professional equipment.
Each microphone channel features individually switched +48V phantom power for use with condenser mics, and an easy-to-use, single-control analogue compressor with true bypass. A comprehensive display informs about signal levels, compression, overload and the current sampling rate.
