About Merging Technologies ADA8

These remotely controlled Mic/Line Input and Output cards have broken a new barrier in terms of compactness as well as ultra-low power consumption without compromising on the audio quality. These cards work at sampling rates up to 192kHz. Using those combined 8 channel Mic/Line In and Line Out cards allow the Hapi to be configured with up to 16 channels of Analog In/Out.

Merging Technologies ADA8 Features

  • 8x exceptionally transparent, Swiss designed pre-amplifiers
  • Remote/Local switch to Line Level on a per channel basis
  • Completely accessible remotely for all parameter changes
  • Phantom Power/Phase/Low Cut/Impedance switchable per channel
  • Dynamic range of 120dB (A-weighted, typ) on the Line inputs
  • Auto-mute circuitry for no-pop power cycling
  • Digitally controlled output trims for line up procedures
  • Dynamic range of 123dB (A-weighted, typ.) on the Line outputs
