Product Description and EBC

 

New Generation

Built To Perform

Discrete 8 Pro Synergy Core 26x32 Thunderbolt 3 Interface and USB 2.0 Audio Interface is the new generation of a modern classic. The 1U rack audio interface for recording music packs industry-leading sound quality, transparent preamps, extensive connectivity and the powerful Synergy Core effects platform.

 

This versatile interface embodies a zero-compromise approach to hardware – made readily accessible via its redesigned software control panel.

 

8 Discrete Microphone Preamps

The Discrete 8 Pro packs eight discrete Class-A microphone preamps, formed of six transistors each and based on circuits found in classic recording consoles.

 

26 Inputs & 32 Outputs

The generous number of preamps, analog and digital I/O support a wealth of applications: voice work, multi-synth setups, live recordings of small ensembles and even close-miked drum kits.

 

Remove Complexity, Add Creativity

The Discrete 8 Pro allows connection between any signal source and any destination for turning any session scenario into reality. Yes, seriously: every analog or digital output, effect strip or DAW track can receive any of the analog or digital inputs, effect returns, computer source channels or the four stereo mixes. All this flexibility is accessible via the full virtual patch-bay or the simplified routing view – the choice is yours.

 

Sound Quality: Record and Monitor with Uncompromising Sound Detail

The A-D/D-A converters and clocking are at the heart of every music studio. The Discrete 8 Pro has been upgraded with latest generation converters (up to 130dB of headroom), while keeping the 64-bit AFC clocking technology established by our industry-standard master clocks. With the interface in your rack, you can experience a new level of detail in your audio interface recording

and enjoy a wider soundstage for an exceptional stereo image in audio playback.
