APHEX - 188 v2.01 Microphone preamplifier - Multiple models

Aphex 188A

Aphex introduces the new 188, an eight-channel microphone preamplifier controllable remotely via Ethernet or MIDI, through the same devices that can control the 1788A model, namely from the 1788A‑RC controller or from the software (PC or Mac) 1788A‑SW or, using the optional interface model 5200, from an Avid control surface or a Yamaha digital mixer. Aphex 188 has eight microphone preamps, each with transformer-isolated input, polarity selector and selectable 80 Hz high-pass filter. The preamps offer 26 dB of fixed gain and 39 dB variable, for a total of 65 dB and each input also features a ‑26 dB pad. The channel analog outputs are available on a D‑sub 25 connector, while the ADAT digital outputs are available on two TOSlink connectors, configurable as redundant or SMUX to allow operation at sample rates up to 96 kHz. The 188's internal clock can operate at 44.1, 48, 88.2 or 96 kHz and a word clock output is available. It also accepts external clock inputs running from 44.1 to 96 kHz.
