"Get two"

Feature:
The fact this thing can go from just about any flavor of connector to another is a real plus.

Quality:
Excellent piece with rugged construction.

Value:
At 20 bucks a channel its a bargain

Sound:
No color no artifacts just good clean signal.

Ease of Use:
Simple manual. Simple to use.

Support:
Haven't needed service

Overall:
Everyone should have on of these in their rack or at least loose in their bag of tricks. It makes a great DI if you dont need a pad, really inexpensive 8 channel mic splitter if you dont mind using a TRS to XLR adapter. The thing is dead quiet and doesn't add any coloration. ART outdid themselves with this piece. In my own rig I have one in my drive rack to isolate it from the processing rack. I have another to use to patch computers, ipods, and whatever last minute emergency sources someone brings me. I also have another loose that is brought out for the guest artist's CD, Ipod, MP3, computer to be able to patch in from on stage. If you have hum or buzz in your rig you owe it to yourself to try one of these things out, and at less than 20 bucks a channel its a great investment.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The T8 (Transformer Eight) is a totally passive audio interface that uses 8 transformers to separate input and output signal grounds, thereby isolating two systems and reducing hum and ground-loop noise. The T8's audio transformers have flat and wide frequency response and handle high signal levels while maintaining an isolated balanced output. The transformers are wound for 1:1 unity gain and are designed to be used with impedances from 600 ohms to 100k ohms.

The T8 provides balanced XLR, 1/4 in. phone, and RCA type phono connections on all inputs and outputs simultaneously. The T8 fits easily into virtually any audio system and is a clean patch point between all types of systems.

The T8s mounting ears are reversible so you can have either the XLRs on the front or the 1/4 in. and RCA phono jacks on the front. This maximizes flexibility in cabling your system. Whether you need an interface between a computer-based audio workstation and your monitor system, isolation on long cable runs in a fixed installation, isolation of multiple signal sources from your recording equipment, or in many cases, just a safer connection between two audio systems, the T8 can accommodate.
