A Great Way to Add Eight Channels to Your Studio!
The PreSonus DigiMAX FS is an 8-channel microphone preamplifier, with 24-bit/96kHz ADAT dual SMUX I/O and word clock I/O.

PreSonus DigiMAX FS at a Glance:

Eight Class A mic preamps
New jitter reduction technology for smear-free audio
Handles wide variations in clock frequencies

Eight Class A mic preamps
The DigiMAX FS starts with eight custom-designed high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers. PreSonus knows that the preamplifier is a key component in the sonic quality of a recording. The job of a microphone preamplifier is to boost microphone level signals to line level so that the signal can be converted from analog to digital. This mic to line boost is generally a preamplification of over 400 times the voltage of the original mic level signal. This preamplification stage is one of the most important stages that the signal will go through before converted to digital, and is why a high performance preamplifier is important to achieving great results. A cheap "off the shelf op-amp" type mic preamp that is found in many 8 channel preamps with digital output, translates into thin, noisy and harsh results.

New jitter reduction technology for smear-free audio
The DigiMAX FS is loaded with new patented JetPLL jitter reduction technology ensuring ultra-high converter performance, fast and robust locking through a wide range and variation of frequencies and noise shaping to remove nearly all audio band jitter.

Handles wide variations in clock frequencies
The DigiMAX FS locks up to any digital format quickly, through a wide range of frequencies. It's extremely robust and tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. This ensures near-perfect clock performance when networking audio devices.

PreSonus DigiMAX FS Features:

Eight Class A microphone preamps w/ trim control
24-bit resolution, 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz sampling rate
96kHz ADAT input and output (dual SMUX)
JetPLL jitter reduction technology for ultra tight synchronization
Direct outputs and inserts on every channel
Word clock input and output
Ensures highest converter performance possible, resulting in better separation

Customer Reviews

I/O, Pres and a rock solid external clock source...
by Rob from Orlando, December 31, 2008
Music Background: Perpetual Noodler

“This thing rocks. In effect, a 1u rackmount, lightpipe, PreSonus-pre packin mixer, external clock source and the perfect companion for a patch bay since the inputs on the FS are front and center.

I run this optically (in and out) into my 003 and set ProTools to use the variable clock source onboard the FS - And boom, big performance increase since the PC no longer has to process...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"Great unit at a GREAT price. REALLY the thing for adding that extra 8 inputs to your 003 or 002 or 2408 or 8pre, etc. Thanks PreSonus!!" Kenny Bergle
		"This just may be the coolest development for digital recording in the last five years! Not only do the Digimax FS preamps and converters sound great, but the ultra-flexible analog and digital signal routing options finally open up possibilities that had always been difficult or awkward to accomplish on native systems without buying extra hardware. I literally can't think of a digital recording system that couldn't benefit from adding the Digimax FS. Need to expand for 7.1 surround mixing? Want to patch in outboard processors without native host latency? Want to send up to eight discrete headphone mixes to your talent while tracking? Need to expand the digital I/O capability of your standalone digital recorder? Want to set up a live recording rig with discrete feeds for FOH? The DigimaxFS can handle any of those tasks... for the money, this is a no-brainer!" Derek Senestraro
		"The Digimax is the perfect addition for anyone who's looking to get another eight channels of mic pres into their digital front end. For less than $100 per channel these pres are unbeatable, and with inserts and direct outs on every channel the Digimax FS is a steal!" Luke Herian
