Two ADAT optical banks; at 44.1/48kHz the lower bank mirrors the upper bank (no extra channels), at 88.2/96kHz each bank carries 4 discrete channels (S/MUX). CueMix DSP near-zero-latency monitoring, up to 8 independent monitor mixes. Can operate standalone as an 8-channel analog-to-ADAT converter without a computer.
