XTA is a leading professional audio company based in the UK. With a history stretching back over 25 years and being at the forefront of DSP technology, XTA design and manufacture professional amplification and digital audio management products used extensively around the world in both live touring and installed applications. Thanks to the company’s background in live production audio XTA has a wealth of knowledge in just what’s required to produce the highest quality audio with the best processing and simplest (stress-free) control. All XTA products are covered by a 5-year warranty.

Overview

8 Channel Active Mic/Line Distribution System with Dual AES outputs

The DS8000D is a 2U, 8 input to 32 output mic/line distribution system with 16 transformer balanced isolated outputs, and 16 electronically balanced outputs fitted as standard. Input transformers and replacement of the electronically balanced outputs with transformer balanced outputs are available as options.

DS8000D provides more flexibility with 2 x 8 AES outputs, with wordclock sync and master clock out. Featuring reassuring XTA quality ADCs operating at 48, 96 or 192k, this is all available in addtiion to the already comprehensive analogue output makeup.

Featuring microphone pre-amps designed by Gottelier award winning Alex Cooper, the DS8000 offers many facilities including a dual redundant power supply, simple Outside Broadcast “one to many” split switching and 48V “safe“ functions to prevent tampering.

Subtle panel lighting for dark under-stage environments and the option of adding an ADC card for integration into digital networks, plus bespoke new output transformers all combine to produce a package that enhances its predecessor’s reputation as a flexible, rugged high quality distribution system.
