Item No. : 149277
The specialist's opinion
The DP-008 is an 8-track digital Portastudio, small enough to fit into a guitar case
Specification
Based on the already famous DP-004, the DP-008 brings four additional tracks - a total of 8 tracks, with integrated mixer. It can record up to two tracks simultaneously, and its dedicated volume, pan and reverb knobs make recording and mixing simple. The device comes with an SD card with a capacity of 2 GB.
The DP-008 has two microphone inputs on XLR, with switchable phantom power, and two unbalanced line-level inputs (one switchable as a guitar input, high impedance). It also offers two built-in microphones, so you can record everything that happens in front of it. The tracks are mixed on a dedicated stereo track, and EQs are available on both inputs and on each track. Whether recording a demo of a song, a radio show or a concert, the DP-008 captures your inspiration without the technology interfering with the music.
