DigiMax™ DP88

8x8 96 kHz Preamplifier / Converter with ADAT™ / Dual SMUX I/O

he next-generation DigiMax

T

DP88 A/D/D/A converter
is the perfect companion to
expand the new PreSonus®
Studio 192 Studio Command
Center or any professional
audio interface with ADAT I/O.
Building on the DigiMax legacy,
PreSonus has innovated on the
eight-channel A/D converter
again by adding eight fully
recallable, digitally controlled,
analog XMAX™ preamps with
pristine audio quality up to 96
kHz. Like its predecessors,
the DigiMax DP88 provides
the connectivity and flexibility
to make it a perfect fit in any
professional or home studio
environment.

■ Remote control your XMAX™

preamps from the front
panel or from within your
DAW using standard MIDI
messages.

™

■ DAC outputs expand the

analog outputs of your audio
interface for monitor mixes,
speaker switching, and more.

■ Direct A/D inputs let you

connect a boutique preamp
directly to the converter
without repatching cables,
thanks to per-channel front­panel control.

■ Audiophile-grade, Burr-

Brown analog/digital/analog
converters with 118 dB
dynamic range.

■ 24-bit operation at 44.1 kHz,

48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 96
kHz sampling rates.

■ Tight integration with Studio

192 Studio Command Center
lets you control preamp
settings from Studio One 3 or
UC Surface.
