We always quote 'real world' performance figures (measured to the AES17 standard). Some companies choose to quote chipset performance, which is misleading, and
here's why.
Mic Input
• Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20kHz +/- 0.1 dB.
• THD+N: 0.001% (measured at 1kHz with a 20Hz/22kHz bandpass filter).
• Noise: EIN > 125dB (128dB analogue to digital): measured at ~60dB of gain with 150 Ohm termination (20Hz/22kHz bandpass filter).
• Mic Gain: +10dB to + 55 dB
• Input Pad: ~-10 dB
• Phantom power switched in 2 x 4 channel groups (1-4 and 5-8)
• Maximum input level: +8 dBu (+17 dBu with pad on input)
Line Input
• Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20kHz +/- 0.1dB.
• THD+N: < 0.001% (measured with 0dBFS input and 22Hz/22kHz bandpass filter).
• Noise: -90dBu (22Hz/22kHz bandpass filter).
• Line 1-8 Gain: -10 dB to +36 dB
• Line maximum input level: +22 dBu
Instrument Input
• Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20kHz +/- 0.1dB.
• THD+N: 0.004% (measured with 0dBu input and 20Hz/22kHz bandpass filter).
• Noise: -87dBu (20Hz/22kHz bandpass filter).
• Instrument Gain: +10 dB to +55 dB
• Maximum input level: +8 dBu
Analogue Output
• Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20kHz +/- 0.2dB.
• THD+N < 0.0010% (-100dB) (measured with 0dBFS input 22Hz/22kHz bandpass filter, un-weighted).
• Nominal output level @ 0dBFS: 16 dBu, balanced
Digital
• A/D Dynamic Range 110dB 'A-weighted' (all inputs).
• JetPLL™ Technology providing superb jitter reduction for class leading converter performance.
• Clock Jitter < 250 pico seconds.
• Sample Rate Clock Accuracy: +/- 20PPM.
• Sample rates: 44.1kHz to 96kHz.
• Clock Sources: Internal and Word Clock.

FRONT AND REAR CONNECTIVITY
Analogue Channel Inputs:
2x Mic / Line / Instrument inputs on the front panel (Instrument selected via front panel button)
6x Mic / Line inputs on the rear panel. Switches automatically between Mic (XLR) and Line (TRS)
Analogue Channel Outputs:
8x Balanced 1/4" TRS Jack on the rear panel
Digital Channel Outputs:
2x ADAT Lightpipe (TOSLINK) outputs. Provides 8 channels per port (16 total) at 44.1 and 48kHz. Provide 4 channels per port (8 total) at 88.2 and 96kHz (S-MUX).
*Note that when running at 44.1 or 48kHz, the digital outputs are mirrored, providing outputs 1 - 8 on both ports.
Front Panel Indicators:
8x Five segment input LED meters (-42, -18, -6, -3 and 0dBFS)
