PreSonus Digimax DP88 Microphone Preamplifier, 8-Channel

No longer available at zZounds
Add 8 digitally controlled mic preamps to your recording rig! The 8-channel PreSonus Digimax DP88 has ADAT optical output plus analog I/O and word clock I/O.

The DigiMax DP88 expands the analog connections of any audio interface with ADAT I/O, delivering pristine audio quality up to 96 kHz. Eight digitally controlled, analog XMAX preamps can be controlled from the front panel and remotely via MIDI. When connected to a PreSonus Studio 192 interface, the preamps can also be controlled from Studio One or UC Surface software. Direct A/D inputs let you connect external devices directly to the converter. Use DAC outputs for monitor mixes and more.

See how Roland Guerin uses the DP88 and Studio 192 in his recording process:


The DigiMax DP88 is equipped with audiophile-grade, Burr-Brown processors to deliver top-quality digital conversion up to 96 kHz. These converters provide 118 dB of dynamic range and are backed by a boast-worthy clock with sub-50 picosecond jitter to capture complex musical harmonics smoothly and naturally. You'll hear every breath, transient, and detail of a performance in your recordings.

Flexible rear-panel I/O makes it easy to incorporate the DigiMax DP88 into any studio environment. Access the preamps using XLR or DB25 connections. Eight direct, analog-to-digital, line-level inputs are available on DB25 and can be accessed per channel with a front-panel button, allowing you to keep all of your gear connected at the same time. Eight balanced DAC outputs are provided via DB25 so you can expand your interface's outputs for monitor mixes or speaker switching. You also get eight balanced direct outputs on DB25 and read more eight channels of ADAT/dual SMUX optical I/O up to 96 kHz.

Although the DigiMax DP88 is the perfect companion for any audio interface with ADAT I/O, it was designed to seamlessly extend the analog I/O on the PreSonus Studio 192 studio command center. When the DP88 is connected to a Studio 192 via ADAT, its eight XMAX analog preamps are fully remote-controllable from PreSonus' Studio One(R) 3 DAW and from PreSonus UC Surface control software, extending the Studio 192 analog inputs sonically and functionally.
