Description

Edit description

The Grace Design m308 Active 8-channel Isolated Direct Box is an essential tool for both live performances and studio sessions, offering industry-leading DI performance in a compact, rackmountable 1U chassis. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the m308's advanced circuitry delivers pristine audio quality with minimal noise, thanks to its galvanically isolated design. This direct box is powered via standard 48V phantom power, ensuring seamless integration into any professional setup.

What sets the m308 apart is its custom-wound Lundahl transformers, which capture every nuance of your sound with stunning low-end clarity and exceptional high-frequency detail. Each channel is equipped with a 13dB pad switch to handle hot signals, and an Iso/Gnd switch for additional flexibility. The peak indicator LED, which activates at -3dB before clipping, provides a visual cue to help you maintain optimal levels.

Designed for durability, the m308 features a robust extruded aluminum chassis, perfect for enduring the rigors of the road while maintaining its sleek aesthetic. With its superior high-bandwidth design, ultra-low distortion, and high dynamic range, the Grace Design m308 is a powerhouse that caters to musicians and audio engineers seeking uncompromising sound quality.
