Details
Controls: None (fully passive, no active controls)
I/O: 8 channels, each with: balanced XLR in/out pair, balanced 1/4" TRS in/out pair, RCA in/out pair
Notable use: 8-channel passive ground-loop/hum eliminator; praised by Sound on Sound as 'surprisingly transparent' with improved bass clarity
Notes: DEVICE_CLASS FLAG: T8 is a transformer isolator (1:1 unity-gain isolation transformers for hum/ground-loop elimination), not a DI box -- no exact device_class match exists in the enum; DI/Reamp chosen as closest available fit per instructions, since it is a passive signal-conditioning box in the same general product family as DI boxes. PASSIVE, NO POWER REQUIRED -- per instructions, powered left as "" and power_watts left blank; passivity noted here explicitly. price_usd=$184.99 sourced from current new-unit Reverb listing (matches the general $186-220 retail range implied by a Sweetwater financing snippet); a used Reverb listing was seen at $106.91 but the new-unit price was used as the primary current-market reference since this remains an active catalog product on artproaudio.com.
