ART - S8

The S8 includes a ground-lift switch on each isolated output to reduce noise due to ground loops between connected equipment. For versatility the S8 also features an attenuator pad switch on each input that can be used to connect preamplified signals to the two microphone-level S8 outputs on each channel. Typically, preamplified signals would originate from instrument preamplifiers, mixers, keyboards, etc.

Rack mounting ears are reversible for flexibility in system cabling. The 19" 1U black all steel case and its all passive design allow the S8 to provide years of trouble free service.
