More Info

Compact and Light-weight
The S-0808 weighs around 6.6lbs making it portable and easy to setup. Rugged construction with steel handles withstands the rigors of live applications and frequent use. Fan-less design enables quiet operation in any environment.

Superb Quality, Fully Discreet Preamp
All inputs employ a high quality preamp with fully discreet circuit design resulting in outstanding sound. Eliminate the need for direct boxes by using the TRS or Hi-Z inputs. Control input gain (-65 to +10dBu), Pad and Phantom Power via a dedicated S-4000R Remote Controller or using the PC Remote Control Software (S-4000RCS). When using as part of a V-Mixing System, these parameters are controlled directly from the M-400 or M-380 V-Mixer.

Example Configurations

Configure for a variety of applications and environments. Connectivity is simple enabling rapid system changes, expansion and flexibility.


Simple system setup using a pair of S-0808s. The S-4000M in a Broadcast Truck (OB Van) provides power to the remote location. Control the remote inputs using the S-4000R.

This system allows I/O to be place in 4 separate locations using S-0808s. The signals from the 4 units are merged by the S-4000M as it travels to the S-4000H breakout location. Power to each of the S-0808s is supplied by the embedded power over REAC in the S-4000M.

Battery Plate Holder and Fastening Screws (8 pcs), REAC Connector Covers x 1 Ferrite Core x 2, Fastening Screw x 4, Owner's Manual

*1: XLR connector 1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD *2: TRS takes priority if XLR and TRS are simultaneously input to INPUT 5-8. *3: TRS of INPUT 7/8 turns to unbalanced when Hi-Z is turn on. * When a REAC Splitter S-4000-SP or a switching hub is used in-line with REAC cables, the network latency will increase by the amount of processing delay introduced by the splitting device itself. The actual delay is dependant upon the specifications of the splitting device, though the maximum delay amount for a single splitting device should be about 200 microseconds.
