A transformerless 10 Mohm ultra-high impedance input stage preserves the tonal character of the source and delivers a clean, sturdy signal into the circuit without the treble loss or sluggish low-end characteristic of many inferior DI designs. With the N-8 DI, you'll delight to the punchy, full-bodied sounds required for the powerful, complex, and often bombastic sonic signature of modern music.Masterful transformer-balanced output stage Phoenix Audio couples their custom-wound DB694 output transformer to a fully discrete, proprietary DSOP-2 output amplifier, itself a direct descendant of the renowned TF1 amp that Phoenix chief designer David Rees developed as an upgrade for vintage Neve 80 Series console modules. Outperforming the TF1, the DSOP-2 represents a pinnacle of Class A output circuit design, offering a seamless tonal range from ultra-clean to gorgeously saturated. With its big iron and massive headroom, you can drive the DSOP-2 to taste. Crank it to elicit beautifully saturated tones; back off for a cleaner high-fidelity sound, or dial up any flavor in-between.Incredible versatility And because the N-8 DI accepts unbalanced line level and levels up to 0dBu, you can use it as a line-amp in the studio or on the road. Simply input any signal to enhance it with lush Class A tone. With an easy-recall stepped gain control on every channel, nailing your target sound is a cinch. Sweetwater engineers are finding the Phoenix Audio N-8 DI be superbly musical, versatile, and intuitive; able to breathe new life into any direct injected signal. We think you'll agree.Phoenix Audio N-8 DI Features: 8-channel Class A active DI; steel 1RU rackmount chassis Discrete, Class A transformerless ultra-high-impedance 10 Mohm input stage Class A, discrete DSOP-2 output with custom-wound DB694 transformer Stepped output pots for each channel with generous 30dB gain range Per-channel 15dB pad with illuminated switch Polarity reverse on every channel with illuminated switch Per-channel ground lift with illuminated switch Front-panel, per-channel 1/4″ TS input jacks; TS through jacks External 24V PSU with lockable connector 8 channel Main outputs on D-sub 8 channel Monitor outputs on D-sub Accepts unbalanced line level and signals up to 0dBu Frequency Response: 20Hz–20kHz, ±0.5dB Maximum Output: +26dBu @ 1kHz Noise: –90dB, 22Hz–22kHz SpecificationDetail Type Active Channels 8 Pads -15dB Polarity Switch Yes Ground Lift Yes, per channel Inputs 8 x 1/4" Outputs 8 x 1/4" (thru), 1 x DB-25 (balanced monitor), 1 x DB-25 (balanced main) Power Source External 24V power supply (included) Height 1.75" Depth 8.5" Width 19" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
