Details
Controls: Per-channel 4-segment LED metering, solo, 48V indicators; remote phantom power control via FOH/MON sensing; ground lift (MON/FOH independent); O/B split modes
I/O: 8 balanced mic/line inputs; outputs = 16 transformer-balanced isolated + 16 electronically balanced; headphone solo output
Notes: JUDGMENT CALL on device_class: no 'audio distribution/splitter' category exists in the taxonomy; classified as 'Stagebox / Expander' as closest fit, though this is an analog active splitter/DA, not a networked stagebox. Mic preamps designed by Alex Cooper (Gottelier award winner). Dual redundant PSU option. Max input +26dBu (electronic)/+16dBu LF (transformer); max output +20dBu electronic/+10dBu transformer isolated. EIN <-101dBu @0dB gain, <-124dBu @30dB gain. CMRR up to 120dB @1kHz. Weight 5.96kg net. Power 90-240VAC, <30W. No USD/GBP price published on manufacturer site. Current-generation replacement for the legacy DS800 (see separate entry).
