SPL Volume 8 - Eight-Channel Monitor Volume Controller

The Volume 8 is a fully analog, 8-channel, active stereo volume controller and a puristic surround preamplifier. Features: High end volume potentiometer and illuminated mute switch; the potentiometer controls signals directly (without VCA or DAC circuitry) The mute switch allows for very fast reaction times in cases where loud speakers or ears should be protected (for example, with computer crashes) In contrast to digital volume controls which reduce the bit resolution at lower listening levels thus there is no degradation in sound with an analog volume control  In contrast to passive volume controls which alter the phase and frequency response there is no alteration in sound with an active volume control  Users of analog summing without monitoring facilities can cost effectively improve their systems High quality balancing stages with extremely good common mode rejection minimize interferences and disturbances in the signal paths Balanced DB25 input
