The Centerpiece of Your Project Studio — Without Compromise
A potent all-in-one centerpiece for your project studio, the Audient Horizon 8P is a 24-in, 32-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with eight Audient console mic preamps, two JFET Instrument inputs, and eight bidirectional channels of line I/O over DB-25 connectors. Equipped with 75dB gain, Smartgain, and digital recall, these pres feature Orbit variable impedance control with selectable voicings. Additionally, this interface includes dual ADAT I/O and Word Clock I/O. Engineered for pro-caliber applications, the Horizon 8P flaunts 32-bit/192kHz conversion, providing 133dB dynamic range and 0.99 milliseconds of round-trip latency. Advanced monitor controls include Mono, Polarity, Dim, and Reference Level functions. Through Horizon Control software, you have access to a virtual patchbay, custom monitoring, onboard comfort reverb, and four cue mixes. Moreover, the Horizon 8P’s scalable architecture allows you to daisy-chain up to four units, enabling you to tackle larger projects without changing your workflow. And the Horizon 8P packs all this functionality into an all-metal, single-rackspace chassis. Engineers searching for a way to elevate their project studio will find the Horizon 8P to be a class-leading solution with superior sound and a level of performance that’s nothing short of extraordinary.

Ample connectivity for the modern project studio
Boasting 24-in, 32-out Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, the Horizon 8P equips project studios with authentic analog character and pro-caliber headroom — all from a single rack unit. It houses eight Audient console microphone preamps, equipped with 75dB gain, Smartgain, and digital recall. These stellar pres include Orbit variable impedance control with three selectable voicings (High, Mid, and Low). You also get JFET Instrument inputs on the first two channels. The Horizon 8P features eight bidirectional channels of line-level I/O for outboard and hybrid mixing, joined by dual speaker Line Outputs for A/B monitoring. Dual ADAT I/O gives you 16 bidirectional channels of digital expansion, and you get Word Clock I/O to ensure flawless synchronization. Finally, as your studio grows, you can daisy-chain up to four units on a single driver, with a system maximum of 200 bidirectional channels.
Uncolored analog capture at its finest
When we ran the Audient Horizon 8P through its paces here at Sweetwater, we found that it more than lives up to the brand’s decades-long legacy of studio excellence. This audio interface’s analog line-level inputs capture every channel uncolored through premium-quality 32-bit/192kHz converters. The Horizon 8P offers an impressive 133dB dynamic range. Moreover, it delivers 0.99 milliseconds of round-trip latency, at 192kHz with a 64-sample buffer, enabling you to monitor through native plugins with no perceptible lag.
Total studio control at your fingertips
The Horizon 8P serves as a capable centerpiece for your entire studio. It puts advanced monitor controls, such as Mono, Polarity, and Dim, squarely at your fingertips. Selectable Reference Levels (+18dBu and +24dBu) allow you to interface with outboard processors, patchbays, and high-headroom consoles with equal assurance. You’ll also appreciate the intuitive power of Audient’s Horizon Control software, which enables you to command routing, monitoring, and cue mixes, all from a single panel. Lastly, the Horizon 8P includes onboard comfort reverb — a must-have for creating polished cue mixes.
