Alan, i see that this a a 8 channel preamp, but am i correct that it only has a stereo output?.......
No Gidge, you are not correct, and why did you insist on using Spam as the subject line of this thread?
I will answer some questions on the SP-82, but it is not all cast in stone yet. It is a 1U, so space is limited. Front panel on each channel will hopefully have level and pan, mute, mic/line, 48V, and a tri- colored peak LED to show input and peak via green, yellow, and red color. We hope we can squeeze a 1/4" socket for a DI input on channel's 1&2.
On the rear is a combo XLR/1/4" jack for mic and line in, and another 1/4" output jack so all eight channels will have its own seperate output, but all 8 channels will mix down to two channels via a master stereo output pot. There will also be a 1/4" mono out jack which is summed from the L/R buss, but that will have no output control like the L/R buss will. We intend to use very high quality summing amplifiers on this unit.
We hope to have all 8 channels incorporate digital outputs via the Alesis chip, but we will see how much room we have, because we want a buss in and buss out jack so you can cascade three units together for 24 channels. We are using Burr Brown chips and DC offset technology so the mic pres will be very high quality. The applications for this is endless, but space is the biggest limitation on this one.
Just remember it is a 1U, so any suggestions or comments, now is the time before the design is finished.

Actually I'm waiting til I sell my yami MD4s to buy anyhow so I think the timing of the release should work out fine for me.I'm probably going to get one online as the store that just started selling Studio Projects locally sells everything for list price.Speaking of,I was in that store last week and I mentioned that I had heard that they would be selling SP and that I had heard that the C-1 was a good LD condenser for the money and I was looking forward to the B series.He told me that the B series were dynamic mics and that the C-1 was originally a dynamic mic designed to fool people into thinking it was a condenser.This is an employee of the store selling your products, spreading misinformation about your product. Not too cool.Anyhow I won't be buying your mics there as I see no reason to pay list when street price is just a phone call away.Why pay more when they don't even have the knowledge you can obtain just reading a catalogue.Just my two cents.
