Flexible Rack or Desktop Operation

The X8 units are designed as compact 1U rack devices with removable rack ears, giving you the flexibility to integrate them into your studio setup as needed. Rack mount them alongside your other 19" gear for a clean, consolidated system. Or remove the ears and use them as desktop units for easy connection to your recording rig. You can even pair two units side-by-side in a single rack space for expanded I/O.

Straightforward Setup and Monitoring

Setting up and using the X8 expanders is refreshingly simple. The front panel provides direct access to input/output level controls and clear, colorful VU metering. This hands-on approach lets you dial in the perfect levels quickly and easily without menu-diving. At a glance, the meters give you constant feedback to maintain optimal signal quality. With their unfussy operation, the X8 units stay out of your way so you can focus on making great recordings.

By connecting over ADAT, the X8 IN and OUT integrate tightly with the AudioFuse 16Rig and other ADAT-equipped interfaces. This streamlined connectivity lets you expand your analog I/O count without adding unnecessary boxes or cabling complexity to your studio. A world clock input on the X8 units keeps everything synced perfectly. You can even achieve full 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos surround by combining the X8 OUT with an AudioFuse 16Rig for immersive mixing and monitoring.
