TerraTec Mic 8+ ( incl. Phase PCI-Card)

24Bit/96kHz Multi I/O FireWire or PCI-Bus Interface

Featuring Multi I/O FireWire or PCI Bus: The State of the Art in Digital Audio Interfaces

With the new MIC 2/MIC 8 series, TerraTec Producer offers line of digital audio interfaces boasting

state-of-the-art, astonishingly versatile technology and built-in microphone inputs in premium SPL

quality.

The MIC2/MIC8 series is one of the world’s most advanced and most powerful digital audio interface

solutions. Satisfying all standards for professional studios and offering 24-bit/96kHz FireWire mLAN,

ADAT, or 32-bit PCI card interfaces, MIC2/ MIC8 systems are tailor-made for audio, video and

interactive media applications.

Developed in collaboration with SPL – the renowned specialist professional studio equipment – MIC2/MIC8

systems deliver audio in a level of quality previously unrivalled in this price class. The finest

analog circuits married to sophisticated digital signal processing - MIC2/MIC8 systems afford musicians

the best both worlds in a single device!

The systems’ open, modular interfaces connect to external equipment via FireWire, ADAT, and 32-bit

PHASE 88 PCI bus card, the latter being the preferred option in studios. And that makes MIC2/MIC8

devices the flexible switching center for every studio. In addition to eight analog inputs and outputs,

 the 1 HU 19" chassis features digital ADAT and S/PDIF ports, a MIDI inter-face, and a WordClock/BNC

port, as well as an adjustable headphones output on the front panel.

At the heart of the system is a microphone preamp stage powered by low-noise operational amplifiers.

The MIC8 sports eight of these amplifiers, while the MIC2 offers two. All eight inputs on both devices

can also accept line signals. The front panel offers two audio channels equipped with XLR/1/4" inputs.

The many signal routing options enable recordists to configure their studio setups flexibly for the

most diverse recording sessions without having to re-connect signal-carrying cords!

All inputs and outputs are balanced for lowest noise signal routing. The rack module is equipped with

intensity controls for all input channels, and channels can be muted separately or routed directly to

an output. This means that without computers, the system can serve in numerous applications as a

no-fuss standalone preamplifier as well as a convenient mixer.

MIC 2/8 systems ship with easy-to-use control software offering comprehensive routing and signal

conversion options, making these interfaces the nerve center of every recording application.

Analog, S/PDIF and even ADAT signals can be converted and routed flexibly via mouse click with

virtually no restrictions imposed by hardware configurations. Advanced WDM, ASIO, and GSIF drivers

ensure the software runs smoothly on all current operating systems for Macintosh and Windows computers.
