EtherSound ES8micCL is the a convenient and cost-effective way to connect microphones to an EtherSound network using its eight switchable microphone/line level inputs. It transforms up to eight analog audio signals into as many EtherSound channels and injects them into an EtherSound network. Each ES8mic built-in preamplifier features variable gain, switchable phantom power, 80 Hz low-cut and 12 kHz high-cut filters, as well as an compressor/limiter (only available on ES8micCL). All functions are remote-controlled via EScontrol software. It also includes eight protected GPIOs: four in and four out, RS232, and local channel assignment.
