NAMM06: SM Pro Audio Announces PR8E Mic Preamp

Tailored to suit a wide variety of applications, the PR8E is perfectly suited for use as a front-end device for many hard disk recording systems, as well as adding additional mic pre's to digital mixers and sound cards.

Each pre-amp features it's own XLR/TRS jack 'Combo' input connector, 48v phantom power, Phase Reversal switch and peak LED. A -20db pad is built in to the 1/4" (6.5mm) TRS line-in jack sockets and the outputs are eight balanced 1/4" (6.5mm) TRS output sockets. All this is housed inside a hardened steel chassis, complete with 19" EIA rack mounting ears.

Each mic-pre produces some 60dB of gain with a massive 23db of maximum output! Ultimately however, what counts is the sound quality. To this end, the PR8-E is guaranteed to deliver and will easily outperform just about any other preamp in it's class.

Typical applications include:

• Expansion for multi-channel DAW's.
• Improved mic performance for many existing mixing consoles.
• Direct Injection for line-level devices, such as keyboards, drum machines and effects

  Features:

• 8 discrete microphone preamplifiers
• Ultra-Wide Dynamic Range
• Low-Noise Operating Levels
• XLR/combo Inputs, TRS Outputs
• 48V Phantom Power on Every Channel
• Phase Reverse on all Channels
  

  The PR8E is now available at $199 MSRP.
