Merging Technologies AKDG8DS

The AKDG8DS input card is an outstanding addition to Merging Hapi, Hapi Mk II, and Horus audio mainframes. 
With 8 mic/line inputs, it delivers unparalleled audio quality and a dynamic range of an impressive 136 dB (A). 
The Swiss-designed preamps offer up to 78 dB of gain with exceptional transparency, thanks to Merging’s unique 3rd generation dual gain topology design. Its remote accessibility allows you to easily adjust all parameters for each channel. The AKDG8DS sets a new standard in audio circuit design, and it even includes analog direct outs (post-mic-pre) for monitoring or external processing. 
The AKDG8DS supports sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz.
