HAPI MkIII ADO8V3S/ADO8V3P

£1,960.00 (£1,633.33 ex VAT) – £2,682.00 (£2,235.00 ex VAT)

The Merging ADO8V3 card for Hapi MkIII is available in two different models, standard and premium. The standard version operates up to 192kHz sample rate and if you want to go higher, the premium version operates up to DXD/DSD256. This card provides 8 channels of exceptionally transparent Mic/Line inputs with up to 78 dB of gain. It also includes analog direct outs (post-mic-pre) to provide a splitter to feed another recorder or monitor desk.

Design

These remotely controlled Mic/Line input cards are 3rd generation Dual Gain topology designs, taking inspiration from the outstanding Anubis Preamps, showing zero tolerance to any compromise in the audio quality. These cards are a new benchmark in analog circuit design, providing an additional Line level post Mic-pre “Direct Out” output.

Available in models that work up to 192kHz (ADO8V3S) and DXD/DSD256 (ADO8V3P).

Features

  • 8 x exceptionally transparent pre-amplifiers
  • Remote/Local switch to Line Level on a per channel basis
  • Completely accessible remotely for all parameter changes
  • Phantom Power/Polarity Invert/Low Cut/Impedance switchable per channel
  • Removes the need for DI boxes
  • 2x 25-pin Sub D connector
  • Dynamic range of 139dB (A-weighted, typ)
  • Auto-mute circuitry for “no-pop” power cycling

Compatibility With Hapi

All analogue I/O V3 cards are compatible with the HAPI MkIII and the HAPI MkII but not compatible with the Horus or original HAPI.
