Audient Horizon 8P Thunderbolt Audio Interface

The Audient Horizon 8P is a 24-in / 32-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface built around eight Audient console mic preamps with AURA Control variable impedance. Paired with 32-bit conversion at 133dB dynamic range and 0.99ms round-trip latency, the 8P puts a complete, console-grade tracking front end in a single rack unit -- designed for the producer or studio capturing performances with real analogue character and headroom.

The 8P puts a full tracking front end in one rack unit. Eight genuine Audient console preamps -- David Dearden's circuit design from the ASP8024-HE console -- give every source real analogue character and 75dB of clean, quiet gain, while AURA Control reshapes each preamp's impedance in hardware to voice ribbon, dynamic and condenser microphones at the source. When the session turns to mixing, eight DB25 line inputs bring your outboard straight in. 32-bit conversion at 133dB dynamic range and 0.99ms round-trip latency let you track and monitor through native plugins with no perceptible lag, and Horizon Control keeps routing, monitoring and four cue mixes a click away.

Features:

- 24-in / 32-out connectivity over Thunderbolt 3
- 8 x Audient Console Preamps with 75dB gain, Smartgain and digital recall
- AURA Control variable impedance with three selectable voicings (high, mid, low)
- 8 x Line I/O over DB25 for outboard and hybrid mixing
- Dual ADAT I/O -- 16 channels of digital expansion
- Dual speaker outputs for A/B monitoring, plus dual headphone outputs… read more
- 2 x JFET instrument inputs on channels 1 and 2
- Hardware monitor control -- mono, polarity, dim, talkback and reference level
- Horizon Control software -- virtual patch bay, custom monitoring, onboard comfort Reverb, and four cue mixes
- Selectable reference levels (+18dBu, +24dBu)
- Scalable architecture -- daisy-chain up to four Horizon units on a single driver, with a system maximum of 200 x 200 I/O
- 0.99ms round-trip latency with 64-sample buffer
- 1U all-metal chassis
- Three-year warranty
