Presonus DigiMax D8 Preamplifier

The PreSonus DigiMax8, an 8-channel preamplifier, includes 8 award-winning class A XMAX mic preamps. All of these offer variable trim control, 48V phantom power, ultra-fast acting LED metering and 20 dB pad. You'll find two instrument inputs on the front panel and balance TRS direct analog outputs on the rear panel.

8 XMAX Class A Preamplifiers

The DigiMax D8 includes eight custom-designed high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers for all types of microphones. All XMAX preamplifiers are built with the same three elements:

High Voltage - The XMAX preamplifier runs on power rails of 30V. Higher voltage power rails deliver more headroom, deeper lows, smoother highs and an overall fuller sound.

Discrete - No op amps. Only transistors, resistors and capacitors. Op amps add noise, coloration and harshness to a signal. Discrete designs deliver ultra low noise and transparency.

Class A - When a circuit is running in Class A mode the circuit is always in an "on" state operating at its optimal voltage requirements. Class A mode has zero crossover distortion and delivers purer, clearer and more musical sonics than class A/B designs which are found in most op-amp circuits.

Features:

• 8 XMAX class A microphone preamps w/ trim control
• 24-bit resolution ADAT digital output
• 44.1 and 48K sampling rates
• External sync via BNC word clock input
• Direct outputs on every channel
• LED input metering
• -20dB Pad on every channel
