N-8 DI Owner’s Manual

Firstly, let us congratulate you on your purchase of the 8 Channel N-8 DI. We
know you will be as pleased with its sonic qualities as we are.

You are now the proud owner of a Class A DI that has the advantages of
more than 25 years experience in audio engineering, today’s component and
manufacturing technology, but still retaining “that sound” uniquely achievable
through Class A design.

As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class A
discrete technology used within high build-quality equipment.

The N-8 DI uses our well proven and loved Discrete, Class A output
stage (DSOP-2) which gives a "valve-like" sound. It also incorporates
our high input impedance DI circuitry.

You CAN hear the difference!!!

N-8 DI - Class A Discrete 8 channel DI

Short description:

1. The Phoenix Audio “N-8 DI” is a high-quality, active, 8 channel DI,
with Class A, discrete, high-impedance inputs (10M), and Class A,
discrete, transformer balanced outputs.

2. The Phoenix Audio Class A, all discrete, Stereo DI has been tested
and used by many guitar professionals in studio recording environments,
and the comments are always the same. The overdrive is fantastic, the
guitar sounds clean, clear, and un-restrained. This is the definitive DI!!!.
The DI’s characteristics are very noticeable on any input source, and are
superb for “sweetening” the output from DAW or any other signal source.
