EWS MIC 2 / MIC 8

Perfect sound and excellent connections-the MIC series from TerraTec!

As a result of intensive cooperation with SPL, the renowned specialist for professional studio equipment, TerraTec's new Pro-Audio-System guarantees audio quality which could not be found in this price bracket before. The best analog circuit concepts, paired with sophisticated digital signal processing-the AudioSystems EWS MIC8 and MIC2 present the musician the best from both worlds in a single piece of equipment!

The extensive connections turn the MIC series into the flexible system control center for any studio: Besides eight analog inputs and outputs, the 1HE 19" housing also contains an ADAT and S/PDIF interface, connectors for MIDI and WordClock signals, as well as an adjustable output for headphones at the front.

The heart of the system is a preamp section consisting of extremely low-noise operational amplifiers, which is available in octal design for the MIC8 and in double design for the MIC2. Alternatively, all eight inputs of both units can be supplied with line signals. In addition, two audio channels with combined XLR/jack input are available at the front. This allows flexible configuration of the most diverse recording sessions in the studio without having to rewire an existing setup!

Balanced inputs and outputs guarantee a low-noise signal management. The intensity of all input channels can be adjusted at the rack module, and can be muted or directly forwarded to an output. This allows the AudioSystem to be used as stand-alone preamplifier and audio mixer for numerous applications even without PC-quickly and conveniently!

An easy to use control software offers extensive opportunities for routing and signal conversion, which quickly turn the system to the center of every recording application. With a click of the mouse, analog, S/PDIF and even ADAT signals can be "wired" almost freely by the hardware and converted among each other. Sophisticated drivers for WDM, ASIO and GSIF ensure smooth operation under all current Windows operating systems.

The new EWS MICs sum up the demands on a professional audio interface: Perfect sound and excellent connections to the analog and digital studio world-the MIC series from TerraTec!
