™
With the TerraTec Producer series 24 Bit/96 kHz PHASE 88
Rack PCI audio system, you are well-equipped to handle any
tasks in your home or project studio, now and in the future. Eight
analog inputs and outputs (balanced ¼" jacks) give you the room
and technology you need, even for larger recording sessions.
All inputs can be controlled individually via gain controls on the
front panel and feature clipping LEDs to warn of unintended
distortion. Two of the channels can be adapted to microphone
use at the press of a button - with XLR connectors and switch-
able 48 V phantom power. A two-channel digital I/O (S/PDIF)
with coaxial (PCI version) or optical (FireWire version)
connectors is available for your DAT recorder and other digital
equipment.
™
A WordClock I/O ensures optimal synchronized connections to
external digital equipment, and two independent MIDI interfaces
give you 32 MIDI channels to work with. If you ever need more
connections than the standard selection of the PHASE 88 Rack
system, thats no problem:
Up to four PCI devices can be cascaded with a single driver,
giving you no less than 40 audio channels for simultaneous use.
Thanks to its sophisticated board design and proven converters,
the system delivers outstanding audio quality: a signal-to-noise
ratio of 110 dB (A) speaks for itself. The PHASE 88 Rack PCI
system also is future-proof: if necessary, you can easily replace
the rack module’s PCI connection with an optional FireWire
(IEEE 1394) interface.
™
High class performance with alternative PCI or FireWire interface:
The PHASE 88 Rack is the flexible audio center for your home or project studio.
