It retains the 120V technology and high-voltage SUPRA op-amps, resulting in a distortion-free dynamic range. The SPL Crescendo 8 is unnoticeable on the signal, amplifying anything without adding any color due to a low THD value. It can achieve high levels with a -10dB VU switch, allowing for monitoring high-level outputs. The SPL Crescendo 8 promises unparalleled clarity and acoustic performance for microphones.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eMeet your new employer\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe SPL Crescendo 8 features a black anodized 4mm-thick aluminum front panel with aluminum milling pots. It also has a new powder-coated, high-quality steel casing. Finally, SPL has included an “8” at the end of its name. Aside from these cosmetic adjustments, nothing else has been added or deleted. The same transparency, dynamic range, and unrivaled power of 120V Technology that made mixing and mastering engineers fall in love with the original are still there.\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful 120V technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nSPL’s 120V Technology focuses on providing the best audio by maximizing power streaming through electrical components. The SPL Crescendo 8 operates on a high DC voltage of 120 volts, which is managed by its unique 120V SUPRA op-amps. The device’s inbuilt toroidal transformers and rectifiers convert AC power from the mains into operational voltage, ensuring all components work within their optimal operating ranges. The insulated toroidal transformer power supply and perfectly matched transistors prevent interference or heat issues, resulting in a realistic sound with increased dynamic range, headroom, and low THD levels.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSPL Audio: Supercharged Audio Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nSPL Audio was founded in Germany in 1983 and has been at the forefront of the professional audio business since then. After creating patented 120V Technology in the 1990s, SPL chose to include this pioneering technology in all of its high-end devices, and its extraordinarily powerful yet transparent sound has garnered many admirers at and beyond. Other groundbreaking developments by SPL include level-independent envelope processing and the use of phase cancellation in auto-dynamic de-users to reduce sibilance.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSPL Audio Crescendo 8 Microphone Preamplifier Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e New high-quality steel housing with black powder coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eNew black anodized aluminum front panel with strong machined aluminum knobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe high operational DC voltage of +\/- 60V (120V) provides unparalleled power to your signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOur patented SPL 120V SUPRA operational amplifiers can withstand high voltage levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eImproved headroom, signal-to-noise ratios, dynamic range, and THD values for a more realistic listening experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAll 8 mic preamps have built-in parallel outputs, including XLR line and DB-25 plugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe shielded toroidal transformer power supply and perfectly matched transistor pairs prevent heat and common-mode interference concerns.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe VU-10 switch reduces the VU meter’s level by -10dB, allowing you to examine high output levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eControls include +48V, Polarity, and Pad, as well as an analog potentiometer to adjust preamp gain from +18 to +70dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sur Sargam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663876059433,"sku":null,"price":615015.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/0750\/9801\/files\/SPL-Audio-Crescendo-8-Preamp-1.jpg?v=1770878485","url":"https:\/\/sursargam.com\/products\/spl-audio-crescendo-8-preamp","provider":"Sur Sargam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
