Good to know
- The 120V name is about the internal audio voltage (+/-60 V), not your mains supply.
- Internal linear power supply with shielded toroidal transformer; mains voltage is set at the fuse holder.
- You will need DB25 cables to use the second set of outputs.
FAQ
Can I use it for line-level sources?
Yes. SPL says with the PAD on, the Crescendo 8 works well with line-level signals.
Can I record to two systems at once?
Yes. Each channel has two parallel outputs – one XLR and one on DB25.
