- All XLR inputs equipped with phantom power (+48V). (Can be turned on/off individually)

-Equipped with an analog 1-knob compressor with true bypass on all inputs
-Equipped with overload and compressor indicators, 4-segment input LED meter
-Equipped with 2 S/MUX optical outputs to enable simultaneous use of 8 channels at 96kHz sampling
8 outputs@44.1k/48kHz
8 outputs@88.2k/96kHz
4 outputs@176.4k/192kHz
-D-sub25 pin balanced output and TRS balanced analog output
-Equipped with Word IN/OUT BNC connectors (with IN/OUT/THRU) to enable connection of multiple digital devices
-Sturdy metal chassis
-1U rack size
