The D8B is easily
configurable for almost any recording application. We offer analog I/O,
digital I/O, word clock I/O and effect processing cards as add-on options.
And it doesn't take a degree in electrical engineering to add a card.
In fact, you don't even need a screwdriver to install a card in the D8B's
rear panel.
You can control the
transport of your digital multi-track recorders or supported DAWs and
hard disk recorders with the built-in MMC transport controller. You can
also arm up to 24 tape machine tracks directly from the Record Ready button
on each D8B channel strip. The time code counter window and location point
reader above the transport section reflect the tape position in SMPTE
(hrs:mins:secs:frms) or MIDI (bars:beats:ticks), and let you mark multiple
location points.
Use either the AIO•8
to connect to line level (+4dBu) analog recorders, the DIO•8
card to connect to either ADAT™ optical or Tascam T/DIF formats,
or the PDI•8 AES/EBU card to connect to any digital device
that supports the AES/EBU digital audio format. The PDI•8
allows for real-time sample rate conversion on its inputs. The DIO•8's
provide direct dubbing capabilities from ADAT™ optical to T/DIF format,
and vice versa. The new low-cost OPT•8 I/O card provides 8
channels of ADAT light pipe for less than $100 USD! All cards provide
8 channels in and out.
If you need to sync your
D8B to an external studio clock, Mackie offers the Clock I/O card,
designed by Apogee Electronics, which provides extremely stable word clock
I/O options. It is an extremely low-jitter, cost-effective clocking card
with vari-speed and pull-up / down capabilities. We think it's the most
cost-effective, best clock source in the industry. |
