Heritage Audio OST-8 ADAT 8-slot 500 Series Enclosure

Features Heritage Audio's On-slot Technology

The OST-8 ADAT includes Heritage Audio's On-slot Technology, which facilitates maximum protection, filtering, and isolation for each channel. Each of this 500 Series enclosure's six slots boasts its own independent power supply, which is individually regulated and isolated. Thanks to this revolutionary design, every 500 Series module installed in the OST-8 ADAT will deliver peak performance. Beyond that, power-hungry — and even faulty — modules won't compromise the performance of the rest. Here at Sweetwater, we've found that many of our 500 Series modules exhibit lower self-noise with the OST-8 ADAT, especially microphone preamps.

Premium 8-channel, 24-bit/192kHz A/D converter

Thanks to the Heritage Audio OST-8 ADAT's top-quality 8-channel, you'll find integrating this 500 Series enclosure with your mobile or studio recording rig a piece of cake — all you need is a single ADAT Lightpipe cable. This 24-bit analog-to-digital converter offers selectable internal sampling frequencies from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, plus it can be sync'd externally via word clock. The OST-8 ADAT includes a per-channel switchable path for the converter, enabling you to send a non-processed signal to your DAW directly from its corresponding input, send a processed signal to your DAW after the corresponding 500 Series module, or send a signal from an external source. This lets you send a processed signal out to another processor, then return it to the OST-8 ADAT for A/D conversion. Beyond that, you can use the OST-8 ADAT as a standalone 8-channel, analog-to-digital converter.
