The Volume 8 is a fully balanced and designed for volume control of surround formats up to eight channels. The unit is designed with active circuitry to circumvent inevitable disadvantages of passive designs that result in impedance variation and therefore degraded linearity in frequency response.

Key features:

• High quality balancing stages with extremely good common mode rejection (minimize interferences & disturbances in the signal paths)
• Mute switch allows for very fast reaction times in cases where loud speakers or ears should be protected (for example, with computer crashes)
• Users of analog summing without monitoring facilities can cost effectively improve their systems
• Custom designed, high end, eight-ganged potentiometer with invariable precision at each & every gain level
• Illuminated passive mute switches from ALPS, relay switching for all channels
• Input & outputs over DB-25 connectors (to multicore XLR or 1/4-inch TRS)
• High quality power supply with toroidal transformer
• Input & outputs over DB-25 connectors (to multicore XLR or 1/4-inch TRS)
• Massive, 45 mm/1.78-inch diameter aluminum knob ensure consistent, refined handling
• Elegant, compact format housing allows for flexible desktop positioning near or below a computer monitor or generally saving space in positioning
