This is a fairly gently used ART TubeOpto 8 8-channel tube mic preamp with ADAT. It has a few minor signs of ownership, most notably around the edges of the holes in the rack ears. Obviously, these will be covered when it's screwed into a rack. The front is otherwise pristine. It's in perfect working order and sounds great. I don't have the manual for it but it can be downloaded from ART's website as a PDF. Shipping may be less than indicated, depending on your location.
Features:
• Eight Fully Featured Class-A Tube Mic Preamps
• Eight Channels of ADAT lightpipe Digital 24 Bit Audio I/O at 44.1 or 48kHz
• Input Gain and Output Level Controls on Every Channel
• Input Pad, Phase flip and Low Frequency Roll Off Switches on Every Channel
• Two Additional Front Mounted High Impedance Instrument Line Inputs
• Eight 1/4-inch TRS Balanced Outputs
Below is a live recording made entirely with the TubeOpto 8 by Travis Brown. Here's his quote from Gearslutz:
'This was tracked live off the floor using two ART TubeOptos @48k with stock tubes.
I recorded it, drummer mixed it.'
