Expand your setup with flawless AD/DA conversion and seamless USB integration
The SSL ALPHA 8 is more than just an audio interface - it's the heart of a professional, flexible and uncompromising studio. As an extension of the renowned Alpha Link series, the ALPHA 8 offers 8 analog inputs and outputs, 10 digital I/Os (ADAT & S/PDIF) and can even function as a fully-fledged 18-in/18-out USB audio interface with excellent 32-bit / 192 kHz conversion - it's not just an expander.
Thanks to state-of-the-art converter technology, the ALPHA 8 delivers SSL-typical clarity, transparency and depth. With a dynamic range of up to 123 dB, THD+N values below -110 dB and extremely low crosstalk, it is the perfect link between digital production and analog gear - from synthesizers to outboard EQs.
Whether as a USB interface or AD/DA converter via ADAT or S/PDIF - the ALPHA 8 adapts to your setup. The routing options are easy to configure and enable hybrid signal paths. You can flexibly mix, optimize and simultaneously record or play back analogue, digital and USB signals.
Each of the eight analog inputs and outputs can be operated individually at +9, +18, +20 or +24 dBu - ideal for a wide range of outboard equipment. The DC-coupled outputs also allow control voltage (CV) to be sent directly to modular systems or CV-capable effects.
With one or two ALPHA 8s, the SSL 18 interface can be instantly expanded to 8 or 16 inputs/outputs - perfect for integrating analog preamps, mixers or FX devices via ADAT.
The SSL 18 interface is available here.
Use ALPHA 8 as an insert center for outboard compressors, as a flexible digital-analog bridge or as an interface for electronic setups with CV. The headphone socket on the front with selectable impedance modes offers reliable monitoring - anytime, anywhere.
