Terratec Producer Phase 88

Terratec Producer Phase 88 ... recording system.

Eight high quality analog input and output converters process audio signals (continuously from the hardware to the software) at resolutions of up to 24 Bit/96 kHz. The converters of the PHASE 88 are located - together with the high resolution MIDI interface - in a 5¼" breakout box, which can be placed both in the computer or externally. Based on tried and trusted TerraTec technology, the optimized converter modules and well thought out circuit design of the PHASE 88 system allow perfect recordings of up to eight tracks simultaneously and playback of 5.1 or 7.1 surround productions.

To take full advantage of the superb dynamics of the 24 Bit converter, the board of the PHASE 88 audio system is equipped with a 20 channel hardware mixing console with 36 Bit internal resolution and 20 in 4 routing. Each input channel has its own analog circuit, switchable between +4 dBu (2, 1 Vrms) and -10 dBv (0, 55 Vrms), and an adjustable signal amplifier for up to 18 dB. Channel monitoring is absolutely latency free and the ASIO 2.0 driver performance offers latency times of below 3 ms.

This makes the PHASE 88 a complete recording system, even without an additional mixing console. An additional digital input and output (coaxial) on the PCI Bus card provide the perfect connection to the digital studio environment. You can synchronize and cascade up to four PHASE 88 recording systems within one computer. This makes it possible to expand the system to up to 40 physical inputs and outputs and 64 MIDI channels, while keeping the CPU load to a minimum.
