TIP:

Long mic level lines, mic splitters, and multiple inputs reduce the sensitivity of the microphone and change its frequency, phase, and transient response. This performance degradation is the result of shifts in impedance, capacitance, and inductance values and is quite audible.

Phantom-power on a mic-line causes the line itself to become a microphone.  Jiggling the line will create audible effects.  Having the phantom-power-source as close as possible to the microphone reduces the chance of phantom voltage loss within a very long cable run.

Most modern preamplifiers have excellent common mode rejection ratio, often approaching 110dB.  If there is common-mode-signal (noise) built up in cable run, and the gain of the preamp is 60dB, the residual common-mode-noise is only 50dB down.  While common-mode-signal can be present in a short line as well as a long line, there is a higher probability that there will be more common mode signal in the longer line, especially if that line is crossing power and lighting cables and a high RF field.

By placing the mic-preamp close to the mics and controlling it remotely, the need for long mic level runs is eliminated.

The noise picked up by long cable runs is no longer boosted at the end of the lines since the preamp gain has already been taken at the input of the line.

8-Channel Microphone Preamp

CLICK HERE - Lifestyle Accessories 8 XLR Mic Inputs + 2 1/4" Instrument Inputs

The Newest In The Award Winning Line Of Presonus Mic-Preamps

8 channels of pristine mic amplification with 24 simultaneous digital and analog outputs, Seamlessly Fits Into Any Digital Recording Situation.  Perfect Front-End for DAW's; As Well As Adding Mic Preamps To Digital Mixers And Sound Cards!

A Mic Pre with Heritage
We started with the same design as the MP20, M80 and VXP: Class A Discrete Input Buffers followed by a dual-servo gain stage giving you 60db of preamp gain with 52db of headroom. The DigiMAX 96k is electronically balanced and features phase reverse on the first two channels, as well as a 20dB pad and selectable 48v phantom power on each channel. A unique feature is EQ Enhance? which contours the EQ curve -4dB centered at 1k from 250Hz to 5kHz.  This is especially helpful on drum overheads and other sources to bring out definition and notch out problem frequencies.

The Compressor Trapped in the Body of a Limiter
What makes a limiter musical? Typically, most limiters use peak detection which actually clips the signal and can produce nasty artifacts. RMS detection, though commonly used with most compressors, has the drawback of not being fast enough to catch extremely fast transients. The DigiMAX 96k uses both RMS and Peak detection to give you the best of both worlds. The DigiMAX 96k uses an RMS style compressor with a high ratio while the peak portion is used only to protect the input of the A/D converter from clipping. The end result? Fast, musical, natural and able to catch anything you throw at it.

Connectivity For Days
The DigiMAX 96k features more I/O options than any mic pre on the planet! 8 XLR Mic Inputs + 2 1/4" Instrument Inputs.

Outputs consist of 8 balanced TRS analog outputs plus a 24 bit ADAT? lightpipe output AND (4) stereo RCA SPDIF Digital Outputs (Unit ships in AES/EBU mode, breakout cable not included).

They ALL WORK Simultaneously!

The Ultimate Live Recording Preamp! Use the ADAT? Lightpipe Outputs to feed your recorders digital inputs while you send an identical signal to a FOH Console via the TRS Analog Outputs.  Nevermore Latency!

Use the TRS analog outputs to monitor tracks while you send the Lightpipe to your soundcard or standalone computer interfaces like MOTU 2408 and Digi001. Mixer Beefer-Upper! Add high gain/low noise quality micpre's to your digital console using either Lightpipe, AES/EBU, SPDIF, or analog TRS outputs
