In addition to our acclaimed TRUE preamps, PRECISION 8i fea-
tures two instrument direct inputs (DI's) that offer sonic performance
previously thought to be available only with dedicated, high-end DI's.
You'll get incredible articulation and control for electric bass, detail and
smoothness for stringed instruments and keyboards. The 5-segment
peak-hold level metering with selectable peak reference allows rapid
optimization of program levels between the PRECISION 8i and devices
to which it is interfaced. Dual output connections provide easy intercon-
nection as well as the ability to act as a mic splitter.
PRECISION 8i is ideal for location recording due to its compact, 1U
rack size, 8-channel format, useful level metering and easy intercon-
nect. The integral M/S decoder provides creative spatial image control
and can be particularly useful in attaining an exciting stereo image with
minimum effort and microphone re-positioning. The M/S microphone
technique can be employed effectively in a wide variety of circum-
stances, from classical ensemble, to drum kit overheads, to solo vocal
or instrument – whenever accurate capture of the performance and its
acoustical space is desired. M-S micing also eliminates the "hole-in-the-
middle" effect.
In addition to the previously mentioned features, the PRECISION 8i
includes:
• Both 8-channel DB5 and individual TRS output connections - for
easy connectivity.
• Individual Polarity Reverse - to correct polarity inversions caused by
mic position or cable wiring variations.
• Individual Phantom Power (48V) – available on the front panel.
PRECISION 8i features a highvoltage composite architecture with dis-
crete devices plus integrated circuits. The totally balanced, dual servo,
dc-coupled design provides exceptional transient response, headroom,
imaging and noise performance. Critical devices have been selected on
the basis of extensive listening tests as well as engineering tests. Military
grade, handmatched components are utilized in critical circuit areas.
These design features result in the transparent, detailed sound quality
for which TRUE preamps have become known.
