General

The Tascam Series 8p Dyna is a solid microphone preamp featuring an analogue compressor with true bypass on every channel to ensure ultra-clean analogue signals at all times. This 19" preamp only takes up 1U in your rack and is packed with 8 HDIA (High Definition Instrumentation Architecture) preamp circuits. It's among one of the best mic preamps Tascam have designed until now, so expect lots of headroom and an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. Each of the eight microphone channels can be individually supplied with +48V phantom power and used in combination with multiple types of mics, including dynamic, condenser, ribbon and vintage.

Plenty of Connectors for Expansion

Two S/MUX optical outputs on the rear panel can be used to expand this preamp with suitable external interfaces. ADAT is fully supported so any expansion can be easily realised. The main advantage of S/MUX is that it allows for a 96 kHz sample rate on all eight channels, while four selected channels even offer a sample rate of 176.4 or 192 kHz. You can also find eight, fully-balanced, analogue line level channels round the back and a 25-pin D-sub connector so you can set-up a fully-fledged Dante network in combination with Tascam's ML-16D or ML-32D converters. In short, the Tascam Series 8p Dyna microphone preamp offers ample possibilities for ambitious studio enthusiasts.

Radial Introduces the McBoost Preamp for Dynamic and Ribbon Microphones

Wednesday 11 November 2015 By Lizanne

It's a common occurrence in the studio or during live performances - you make a recording, but the signal is low, the fader on your console is on max and you're out of headroom. The signal is simply too weak and starts to distort when you try to amplify it with a compressor or gain plugin. Radial comes to the rescue with the McBoost - a microphone preamplifier that will add up to 25 dB to the incoming signal, ideal for consoles or audio interfaces that need a little extra oomph!
