help True Systems Precision 8 FAQ
How many channels does the True Systems Precision 8 provide?
The Precision 8 is an eight-channel analog microphone and instrument preamplifier. It also includes two direct inputs for instruments such as electric bass, keyboards, or other line-level sources.
What kind of sound is the Precision 8 designed to produce?
True Systems describes the unit as using a high-voltage composite architecture with discrete devices and integrated circuits. Its published preamp gain range is 15.5 to 64 dB, with a stated noise figure of minus 132 dB EIN.
Does the Precision 8 use six germanium transistors and a nickel-iron output transformer?
The official Precision 8 manual describes a balanced, dual-servo, DC-coupled design with discrete devices and integrated circuits, not the six-germanium-transistor and nickel-iron-transformer description. That catalog specification should therefore be verified against the exact hardware revision before using it as a buying criterion.
Can the Precision 8 record microphones and instruments at the same time?
It has eight microphone inputs and two instrument direct inputs, so it can serve both multichannel microphone sessions and direct instrument recording. The unit is a rackmount studio preamp rather than a USB audio interface, so an external converter or recording interface is needed for computer capture.
