SR8
Universal Preamplifier
The introduction of the Mimesis 24 and later the Mimesis 30 has considerably changed the market of multi-channel processors. Based on the same circuitry, the SR8 allows 8 channels processing and an even simpler way of use. Similar in its control with any analogue preamplifier, The SR8 allows connection of analogue and digital inputs in any format. Its unique internal processing principles and exceptional construction quality makes it the ideal affordable controller for any 2-channel or multi-channel system.
The number of possible channels (up to 8), the freedom to distribute any number of speakers in a room in order to achieve maximum coverage in both bandwidth and space recreation have totally changed the today's usual limits, achieving levels of reality never thought possible before. Compatible with all kind of sources, outputting 8 channels in 96kHz 24 bits high resolution digital format.
By outputting only digital signals, it allows large installation to run only digital cables, with far less quality loss than with analogue interconnects.
Its internal algorithms have been developed with Goldmund typical sound quality in mind. The comparison with other top processors existing is showing the considerable gap the SR8 possess in sound quality for any 2-channel or multi-channel system
