M-Audio Octane 8-channel Preamp and A/D Converter with ADAT Lightpipe   The 8-channel Octane preamp is specifically designed to enhance the front end of any multitrack digital recording system. Its award-winning M-Audio preamp technology delivers pristine digital signals to any Lightpipe-compatible devices such as hard disk recorders and digital mixers. Octane is ideal for miking drum kits or bands—and the two mic/instrument channels are great for guitar, bass and other instruments. M-S matrix encoding lets you employ stereo miking techniques previously available only in pro studios. Octane even has analog preamp (direct) outs for each channel, making it the perfect upgrade for any digital audio interface or mixer. Word clock also means that you can sync multiple Octanes for as many channels as you need as your studio grows.   award-winning M-Audio preamp technology 8 mic preamp channels, 2 with instrument ins 8 line inputs ADAT Lightpipe output (TOSlink) 24-bit audio resolution throughout   Features award-winning M-Audio preamp technology 8 channels, each including: • microphone input (XLR) • line input (1/4” TRS)* • preamp out (1/4” TRS)* • 3-segment LEDs • 20dB pad • phantom power with indicator (groups 1-4, 5-8) 2 channels are mic/instr preamps (front-panel 1/4” TS) ADAT Lightpipe output (TOSlink) 24-bit audio resolution throughout selectable sample rate (44.1k and 48k) and external sync word clock I/O (75-ohm BNC) for synchronization to other digital devices line inputs are half-normalled as insert ins or standalone A/D M-S matrix encoding on channels 7 & 8 with width control phase reverse switches on even channels low-cut filter on channel 1 (-12dB/oct @ 80Hz) * balanced/unbalanced operation   Specifications microphone inputs (analog) variable gain: 50dB frequency response: 20-20kHz, +/- 0.11dB; mid gain signal-to-noise ratio: 120dB, A-weighted; mid gain dynamic range: 120dB, A-weighted; mid gain THD+N: 0.00041% -107dB, 1dB below clipping, 22Hz-22kHz; mid gain EIN noise rating: -129dBu @ max gain, 600 ohms, 22Hz-22 kHz (unweighted) input impedance: 2.85k ohms, no pad; 3.600k ohms, pad engaged instrument inputs (analog) input impedance: 3M ohms variable gain: 44dB frequency response: 20Hz-20kHz, +/- 0.03dB; min gain signal-to-noise ratio: 133dB, A-weighted; min gain dynamic range: 133dB, A-weighted; min gain THD+N: 0.0018% -95dB, 1 dB below clipping, 22Hz-22kHz; min gain system throughput gain: 6dB to 50dB (balanced out); 0dB to 44dB (unbalanced out) line inputs (analog to digital) line input impedance: 20K Ohms (balanced), 13.3k ohms (unbalanced) frequency response: 20Hz-20kHz, +/- 0.04dB signal-to-noise ratio: 110dB, A-weighted dynamic range: 110dB, A-weighted THD+N: 0.00067% -103dB, -1dBFS, 22Hz-22kHz additional features maximum rated analog output (digital clip): +26dBu (balanced), +20dBu (unbalanced) output impedance: 600 ohms (balanced) M/S matrix: L=M+S/3 and R=M–S/3 digital clip level at line inputs: +20dBu channel quasi-peak level indicators light 3dB, 10dB and 20dB below digital clip word clock range (switchable): 44.1kHz, 48kHz and external word clock slave sync range: 33kHz to 59kHz word clock impedence: 75 ohms power: 18 VAC (16.5 VAC minimum) @ 3.5A inline power adapter size: 17" x 5" x 3.5" 7.1 lbs
