Mic input module is an eight-input mic preamp for Pro16 systems. Two of its channels also include 20dB switchable pad for use with line-level input sources such as computer or CD player. Eight channels of digital audio may also be input to same A-Net digital stream from second AV-M8 module suing built-in ADAT connections. For permanent installations in conference rooms or other settings, the unit may be mounted in rack or directly to a table or podium, using detachable rack ears or reversible mounting flanges. Analog audio is input via eight latching 5.0mm Euroblock connectors. Each analog input channel features configuration DIP switches for individually selectable gain settings, +48V phantom power, and low cut filter. Analog input channels from AV-M8 are routed to channels 1 to 8 in the A-Net stream, while channels input via ADAT link from second AV-M8 become A-Net Channels 9-16. Stereo linking for all eight A-Net channel pairs is supported through an eight-position rear-panel DIP switch.
