Spider 8-channel Class A Mic Preamp, Mixer, and A/D Convertor Crane Song Spider - Dave Hill, whose resume includes designing some of the most respected preamps in the industry for other manufacturers, struck off on his own to found Crane Song, whose designs are not only born of his previous experience, but tested ("tweezed" as he puts it) in combat so to speak, in a professional, 24-track 2" studio while high-dollar clients look on. Crane Song's TEC award nominated Spider is a high-quality eight 8-channel mic-pre amplifier/mixer for recording engineers who do live stereo or multi-channel recording and want a very flexible audio path. The Spider's 8-channel output allows the system to function as an analog front end for DAW's, digital mixers, and modular digital recorders. Crane Song's Spider also includes a DSP process to provide tape emulation. Crane Song Spider at a Glance: High-quality 8-channel mic-pre amplifier/mixer wtih digital outputs Stereo Bus can be assigned to digital out DSP tape emulation High-quality 8-channel Mic-pre/Mixer Spider is a high-quality eight 8-channel mic-pre amplifier/mixer with two types of digital outputs: stereo and eight (8) channel. Spider's input preamplifier follows an extremely high quality Class A Discrete audio path, crucial to any critical listening enviroment. The stereo output is for recording engineers who do live stereo or multi-channel recording and want a very flexible audio path. The 8 channel output allows the system to function as an analog front end for DAW's, digital mixers, and modular digital recorders. Assignable Stereo Bus The stereo bus of the Crane Song Spider can be assigned to digital channels 7 and 8. This allows a stereo mix of 6 channels to be assigned to digital outs 7 and 8 and leaves 2 channels independent. (eg. drums; kick, snare, and stereo left to right.) DSP Tape Emulation Both the discrete class A pre-amp and the convertor modules are of a very high quality, low noise design. The maximum analog level at the insert points is +25dBm. The digital modules include a DSP process to provide tape emulation.
