Building on the acclaimed Alpha Link range, the Solid State Logic Alpha 8 Converter in Black is an 8-in and 8-out professional-grade analogue to digital, digital to analogue converter, perfect for expanding your audio interface via ADAT and S/PDIF. Alternatively, you can configure Alpha 8 to address all analogue and digital I and O simultaneously via USB, giving you an 18-in and 18-out audio interface. Featuring class-leading conversion, flexible routing, and impeccable audio performance, Alpha 8 unlocks the full potential of your setup.
The Compromise is Over
Using next-generation 32-bit and 192 kHz converters, Alpha 8 brings SSL-grade audio performance to your studio. With huge dynamic range, stunningly low THD plus N and crosstalk, and exceptionally low noise floor, Alpha 8 delivers line-level heaven for your analogue outboard processing, samplers, synths, and drum machines. The compromise is over - capture your sound with the quality it deserves. It has a 120 dB input dynamic range and 123 dB output dynamic range. Additionally, it has an input and output THD plus N of minus 110 dB and 108 dB respectively.
Analogue Agility and Digital Dominance
Alpha 8 is capable of many different routing configurations to suit your specific needs, making sure you can get the most out of all the digital and analogue I and O it offers. Whether you need a simple bidirectional Analogue ADAT and SPDIF converter, an aggregate 18-in and 18-out USB audio interface, or a mixture of the two, ALPHA 8 provides flexible routing options for its analogue and digital I and O.
The Great Connector
The operating level of each analogue input and output can be individually adjusted to plus 9, plus 18, plus 20 or plus 24 dBu operating levels, ensuring optimal signal integrity, and maximizing headroom for devices connected to Alpha 8. Whether it's 19-inch rack gear, analogue mixers, 500-series modules, or monitor controllers, Alpha 8 ensures every connection to your equipment is fully optimized. On the digital side, Word Clock in and out, ADAT, and S/PIF clocking options ensure Alpha 8 provides outstanding digital audio handling, guaranteeing jitter- free, rock-solid integration in your studio environment whilst elevating the performance of your creative space.
SSL 18 Plus Alpha 8
While Alpha 8 is the ultimate audio interface expander for producers and engineers looking to bring SSL sound and quality to their existing set-up, Alpha 8 is also the perfect companion to SSL 18. Instantly expand SSL 18's I and O via ADAT adding 8 channels (1 x Alpha 8) or 16 channels (2 x Alpha 8s). Perfect for effortlessly integrating additional analogue outboard processing, analogue mixers and more.
Expand Your Workflow
Alpha 8's flexible analogue and digital routing unlocks a multitude of workflow possibilities. Create hardware insert paths for 500 Series modules, outboard EQs, compressors, or hardware FX. Use the S/PDIF I and O for integrating external metering or amp simulators. Alternatively, make Alpha 8 your primary interface, seamlessly connecting analogue and digital devices to your DAW via USB-C. For electronic music producers, Alpha 8's outputs are capable of outputting Control Voltage to control synthesizers, modular rigs, and CV-enabled FX pedals.
