zZounds Gear Experts Say...
24-bit/96kHz fidelity. 8 analog in/out in a single 1U rackmount.
Overview
High class performance with alternative PCI or FireWire interface: The PHASE 88 Rack is the flexible audio center for your home or project studio. With the TerraTec Producer series 24 Bit/96 kHz PHASE 88 Rack PCI audio system, you're well-equipped to handle any tasks in your home or project studio, now and in the future. Eight analog inputs and outputs (balanced 1/4 in. jacks) give you the room and technology you need, even for larger recording sessions. All inputs can be controlled individually via gain controls on the front panel and feature clipping LEDs to warn of unintended distortion.
Two of the channels can be adapted to microphone use at the press of a button - with XLR sockets and switchable 48 V phantom power. A two-channel digital I/O (S/PDIF) with coaxial (optical on FireWire version) connectors is available for your DAT recorder and other equipment.
A WordClock I/O ensures optimal synchronized connections to external digital equipment, and two independent MIDI interfaces give you 32 MIDI channels to work with. If you ever need more connections than the standard selection of the PHASE 88 rack system, that's no problem: up to four PCI devices* can be cascaded with a single driver, giving you no less than 40 audio channels for simultaneous use. Next to the PCI version the PHASE 88 Rack also is available including a high-speed FireWire interface. Thanks to its sophisticated board design and proven converters, the system delivers outstanding audio quality: a signal-to-noise… read more ratio of 110 dB (A) speaks for itself.
The PHASE 88 Rack PCI system also is future-proof: if necessary, you can easily replace the rack module's PCI connection with an optional FireWire (IEEE 1394) interface. read less
