I was very pleased with the shipping speed and the way the stand was packed. I was especially surprised to see candy thrown in the box as well, thank you. It was very relevant to your name "sweet" water. Your "Thank You" inserts provided an insight into your service to your customers - and it really shows how you really appreciate your customers. Your customer service is excellent and I would not hesitate to buy from you again ... in fact, you will be the first company that will come to mind for my next purchase because I know what I will expect. Excellent Customer Service!

Amazing unit

Just like the Firestudio, this unit sounds amazing and works well. There are a few gripes that I have with the unit. First, the XLR connectors are in the rear of the unit versus the front whereas the ... read more [+]Firestudio has them on the front. This causes you to pull a snake to both the front and back of a rack which is rather annoying. Secondly, there's no "thru" for the wordclocks BNC so you'll want a T adapter.

The unit definitely has enough gain per channel to run everything from an SM7B to a U87. It's also got a 20dB Pad. It has no insert points on a per-channel basis, but it does have direct outs on a per-channel basis. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Charlie Davis
The DigiMax D8 is an absolute steal. For a very low price, you get 8 clean preamps, as well as 8 direct outs for additional routing options. I also really love that there is LED metering for each channel. This hooked up to my 002 creates a great 16-channel recording rig that has great sound and is big enough to even handle live recordings.
