8-Channel Mic Pre with Digital Outputs!
The DigiMAX 96k is the preamp for your digital studio! PreSonus created the DigiMAX 96k exclusively to meet the demands of the professional digital studio, and the results are nothing short of stunning. DigiMAX 96k features eight channels of pristine mic preamplification plus limiting and EQ Enhancement, AND 24-bit/96kHz digital output in ADAT, AES, and S/PDIF formats.

PreSonus DigiMAX 96k Mic Preamplifier at a Glance:
  • High-quality 8-channel preamp
  • Digital I/O connections for virtually any digital gear
  • Transparent limiting plus EQ Enhance for channel strip-style control

High-quality 8-channel mic preamp
For the DigiMAX 96k, PreSonus started with the same design as the MP20, M80 and VXP: Class A discrete input buffers followed by a dual-servo gain stage giving you 60dB of preamp gain with 52dB of headroom. The DigiMAX 96k is electronically balanced and features phase reverse on the first two channels, as well as a 20dB pad and selectable 48-volt phantom power on each channel.

Digital I/O connections for virtually any digital gear
The DigiMAX 96k seamlessly fits into any digital recording situation. The DigiMAX 96k is the perfect front-end for your desktop or laptop DAW as well as adding mic pres to digital mixers and sound cards. It features more I/O options than any mic pre on the planet! In addition to the eight XLR mic inputs and two 1/4" instrument inputs, the DigiMAX 96k features eight balanced TRS analog outputs plus a 24-bit ADAT lightpipe output AND four stereo RCA SPDIF digital outputs (Unit ships in AES/EBU mode, breakout cable not included). And here's the best part about the DigiMAX 96k - all these outputs work simultaneously! Use the ADAT lightpipe outputs to feed your recorder's digital inputs while you send an identical signal to a FOH console via the TRS analog outputs. Bye, bye latency! Use the TRS analog outputs to monitor tracks while you send the Lightpipe to your sound card or a standalone computer interface like the MOTU 2408 or Digidesign Digi 002. The DigiMAX 96k is an instant mixer beefer-upper! Add high gain/low noise quality mic pres to your digital console using either Lightpipe, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, or analog TRS outputs.

Transparent limiting plus EQ Enhance for channel strip-style control
What makes a limiter musical? Typically, most limiters use peak detection which actually clips the signal and can produce nasty artifacts. RMS detection, though commonly used with most compressors, has the drawback of not being fast enough to catch extremely fast transients. The DigiMAX 96k uses both RMS and Peak detection to give you the best of both worlds. The DigiMAX 96k employs an RMS-style compressor with a high ratio while the peak portion is used only to protect the input of the A/D converter from clipping. The end result? The DigiMAX 96k gives you fast, musical, natural limiting, able to catch anything you throw at it.


PreSonus DigiMAX 96k Mic Preamplifier Features:
  • 8-Channel mic preamp with built-in limiter and EQ Enhance
  • 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz sample rates
  • Ultra-wide dynamic range
  • Low-noise operating levels
  • Dual-domain limiter on every channel
  • EQ Enhance on every channel
  • -20dB pad on every channel
  • 48-volt phantom power on every channel
  • Instrument input on channels one and two
  • Phase reverse on channels one and two
  • Eight 24-bit A/D converters
  • ADAT Lightpipe output
  • S/PDIF outputs
  • AES/EBU outputs
  • 1/4" TRS balanced analog outputs
  • BNC Word Clock I/O for sync

The PreSonus DigiMAX 96k is a great way to expand your studio!
