SPL / Volume 8

This is an 8-channel volume controller from SPL. It features a high-quality power supply and a design with large, easy-to-use knobs.

■ Volume Controller, 8-channel, High-end

~From the manufacturer's website~

Volume8 is an 8-channel volume controller. Many DA converters and sound cards require signal level changes at the converter output, resulting in lower bit depth in the monitoring signal and degraded sound quality. By using an active circuit design, it's possible to avoid the loss of linearity caused by impedance changes that occur in passive circuits.
