The ART T8 Eight Channel Transformer Isolator is a passive eight-channel interface that effectively eliminates any interference or hum in your audio through high-performance low-distortion transformers. Each channel is independently isolated with an extremely wide and flat frequency response with a high SPL threshold to work with a myriad of different sound sources and applications. Due to this the T8 Eight Channel wont colour your sound at all and will feed through exactly what is plugged in with incredible clarity and detail. Using sophisticated technology the ART T8 matches the impedance of your sound source between 600 Ohms to 100k Ohms to ensure a consistent and smooth level. Highly versatile the T8 features XLR 1/4″ and RCA type inputs and output to connect to almost any setup and due to the 19″ rack format each input and output is easily accessible. You can use any combination and since the jacks are directly paralleled you can also use them as signal taps or as a signal splitter. The ART T8 is the ideal solution for a wide range of applications where interference and noise can become an issue such as Live Sound Permanent/Fixed Install D.J. and virtually any PA application. It is equally valuable in a variety of studio and AV applications. Its full feature set rugged construction and high-end specifications make the T8 the obvious choice for all musicians and engineers. The unsung hero of your audio system With so many different applications the ART T8 will be able to seamlessly integrate into any existing setup you may have to expand the possibilities beyond what you thought was possible. For live sound engineers or DJs the T8 Eight Channel Transformer Isolator can be used as a buffered interface between your equipment and your front of house mixing desk. As each channel is individually isolated the T8 will effectively eliminate any hum you may have from noisy mains supply or because of extra-long cables. The ART T8 will also make a perfect companion for installation setups broadcasting or podcasting studios. When using multiple personal mixers for each member of your broadcast studio there will often be a large amount of interference as each mixer will introduce a noise floor level. The T8 Eight Channel Transformer Isolator will eliminate this noise completely for a clean and pristine audio signal. The conversion inside the T8 also comes in handy for converting unbalanced signals from mixers to true balanced outputs that can be sent directly to a pair of studio monitors or live PA speakers. Another useful application of the T8 Eight Channel is to be used as an interface between your instruments recording equipment and computer. If your recording studio is a noisy environment with lots of interference from power sources it will be very difficult to produce clean and professional mixes with noise disturbing your audio. The T8 can be used between your instruments and recording equipment before hitting your computer to isolate your signal and effectively eliminate any ground loops.
