AKDG8DS - Overview

The Merging Technologies AKDG8DS is a remotely controlled Mic/Line input card. It is a 3rd generation Dual Gain topology design, taking inspiration from the outstanding Anubis Preamps, showing zero tolerance to any compromise on the audio quality.

This card is a new benchmark in analog circuit design, and provides additionally a Line level post Mic-pre "Direct Out" output.

  • Features:

    • 8x exceptionally transparent, Swiss designed pre-amplifiers
    • Remote/Local switch to Line Level on a per channel basis
    • Completely accessible remotely for all parameter changes
    • Phantom Power/Polarity Invert/Low Cut/Impedance switchable per channel
    • Removes the need for DI boxes
    • Allows build-in Mic splitting variants
    • Dynamic range of 136dB (A-weighted, typ)
    • Auto-mute circuitry for "no-pop" power cycling
