<h1>Crane Song Spider 8 Channel Mic Pre Mixer</h1><i>5RU 8-Channel Mic Preamplifier Mixer with 24/192 AD and external power supply.</i><br /><br />Spider is a high quality eight channel mic-preamplifier mixer with two types of digital outputs: stereo and eight channel. The stereo output is for recording engineers who do stereo or multi-channel recording and want a very flexible audio path. The eight channel output allows the system to function as an analog front end for DAWs, digital mixers, and modular digital recorders.<br /><br />

In addition, the stereo bus can be assigned to digital channels seven and eight. This allows a stereo mix of six channels to be assigned to digital outs seven and eight and leaves two channels independent. (eg. drums; kick, snare, and stereo left to right.)<br /><br />

The maximum analog level at the insert points is +25 dBm. Both the discrete class A pre-amp and the convertor modules are of a very high quality, low noise design. Applications for the Spider include (but are not limited to) live stereo recording, multi-channel recording, broadcast engineering, DAW front end, Off-line signal processing and stereo submixing.<br /><br /><h3>Crane Song Spider Features:</h3><ul><li><span style="background-color: initial;"> Six to 66dB input preamp gain in 6dB steps</span></li><li> Channel level control</li><li> Pan control for stereo output bus</li><li> +48v phantom power switching</li><li>Line/Mic switch</li><li>Phase switch</li><li> Low cut filter</li><li>Stereo bus assignment switch</li><li>Fat amp switch for a fuller sound</li><li>16 segment meter peaking reading 0=clipping referenced to the A/D convertor</li><li>Clip light on the pre-amp section</li><li>Peak limiter for the A/D convertor</li><li>Channel insert point may be used as a pre-amp output</li><li>Sample rate to 192KHz</li><li>WC input and output</li><li>Switch selectable Analog Dither control, 15 to 24 bits</li><li>DSP analog tape emulation, adjustable by channel</li><li>Digital output as AES (192KHz), and ADAT Optical (96KHz)</li></ul><br />
