OLD LYME, CONNECTICUT, MAY 28, 2002: Neumann/USA announced that it will begin U.S. distribution of the True Audio Precision 8 microphone preamplifier.
"This product is a perfect compliment with the Neumann line," explains Karl Winkler, Neumann product manager. "It boasts rock-solid construction, a very transparent sound quality and extremely low noise. It also features an excellent transient response and a wide dynamic range. In short, it is of the quality of Neumann products, making it an ideal fit with our line."
The True Audio Precision 8 provides eight channels of transformerless mic preamps, two of which can be used as direct instrument inputs. In addition, each channel offers five-segment level indicators with a selectable peak-hold feature. A button on channels one and two allows them to be used as an MS pair for added flexibility. Designed for use with today's modular digital multi-track units and hard disk recording systems, the Precision 8 can easily be connected to TASCAM or Mackie digital products via a DB 25 multi-pin connector.
The Precision 8 was designed and built by Sunrise Engineering, a design and build manufacturer located in Tucson, Arizona. Although Sunrise has designed several high-end professional products for other manufacturers, this is the first product that they debuted under their own brand name.
