Product information "Crane Song Spider"

8-channel Mic-Pre Amplifier/Mixer with 10 x 24 Bit A/D-Converters up to 192 kHz

SPIDER is an expandable mixer package that starts with eight Audiophile-grade mic-preamps, individually accessed via the pre-fader insert points. Digital outputs include stereo (AES and SPDIF) and multi-channel with the following options: TDIF, ADAT optical and AES plus Master and Slave Word Clock I/O. These features allow Spider to spin its web to any analog or digital device - tape machine, hard disk recorder or workstation as well as provide a high quality front end to a mixer. Eight channels can be mixed to stereo on their own dedicated output as well as be routed to digital channels 7 and 8. This is particularly applicable to eight-channel recordings where six discrete tracks plus a sub-mix allows the recordist to cover all bases, for example: stereo pairs of orchestra, choir and hall or kick, snare, a pair of toms and stereo overhead.
Both the pre-amp and the converter modules have generous headroom and low noise, the maximum analog level at the insert points is +25 dBm. The extremely low output impedance insures that even long cable runs will not compromise the signal. The digital modules include a DSP process that provides optional analog tape emulation. The digital Interfaces can be user-upgraded.

	Input Channel Similar in design to Flamingo's mic pre, Spider's input preamplifier follows an extremely high quality Class A Discrete audio path, crucial to any critical listening enviroment. 6 to 66 DB of gain in 6 DB steps Channel Level Control Pan control for the stereo output bus Phantom power switch Line-Mic switch Phase switch Low cut filter Stereo bus assignment switch Fat amp switch for a fat sounding audio path 16 segment meter peaking reading 0=clipping referenced to the A/D convertor Clip light on the pre-amp section Peak limiter for the A/D convertor. LED indicator showing limit action Insert point. May also be used as a pre-amp outputOutput Section
	8 Channel Digital Section Extremely high quality, low noise A/D convertors enable unmatched clarity of audio conversion, in it's class. Sample rate up to 192KHz WC input and output The stereo bus can be assigned to outputs 7 and 8 Switch selectable Analog Dither control, 15 to 24 bits DSP analog tape emulation, adjustable by channel. The level is indicated by the LED's around the process knob. The level is changed by selecting the channel and turning the process knob. Digital output as AES, and ADAT Optical, or TDIF
	2 Channel Analog Section Insert point between the bus master and the A/D convertor. This also functions as an unbalanced analog output. LED level meter for the stereo bus referenced to the A/D convertor
	2 Channel Digital Section Sample rate selection to 192Khz Peak limiter with an LED to indicate limiter action for A/D protection Switch selectable Analog Dither control, 15 to 24 bits DSP for analog tape emulation WC input and output Digital output AES/SPDIF
