・Alpha8 (JAN:0878076002064)
・d+USB Type-C to C classB/1.0 (JAN:4582387108990)
[Alpha8]
8-input/8-output professional-grade AD/DA converters and 18-input/18-output USB audio interface
【Features】
An interface expander with ADAT/Analogue/SPDIF/USB input and output, supporting a wide range of inputs and outputs in your studio.
8 analog inputs (TRS phone/balanced line out), 8 analog outputs (TRS phone/DC-coupled/balanced line out)
・ADAT I/O 2 systems ・SPDIF COAX I/O
- Operates as a USB audio interface with 8 analog inputs/8 outputs and up to 10 digital outputs (ADAT-SPDIF) - Word clock input/output
■The Ultimate Audio Interface Expander Building on the acclaimed Alpha Link series, Solid State Logic introduces the ALPHA 8, an 8-input/8-output professional analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter ideal for expanding your audio interface via ADAT and S/PDIF.
Additionally, if you configure the ALPHA 8 to handle all analog and digital I/O simultaneously via USB, it becomes an 18-input, 18-output audio interface.
With best-in-class conversion, flexible routing and flawless audio performance, ALPHA 8 will help you maximize the potential of your setup.
Input dynamic range: 120 dB / Output dynamic range: 123 dB, Input THD+N: -110 dB / Output THD+N ?108 dB
Using next-generation 32-bit/192 kHz converters, Alpha 8 brings SSL-grade audio performance to your studio.
With vast dynamic range, incredibly low THD+N, immeasurable crosstalk and an exceptionally low noise floor, Alpha 8 provides line-level heaven for analogue outboard processing, samplers, synths and drum machines.
No more compromises. Capture your sound with the quality it deserves.
■ Analog agility and digital superiority
The ALPHA 8 allows for a variety of AD/DA routing configurations to suit your specific needs.
This allows you to make the most of all the digital and analog I/O provided.
Whether as a simple bidirectional analog, an ADAT/SPDIF converter, an 18-input/18-output USB audio interface, or a combination of both, the ALPHA 8 offers highly flexible routing options for analog and digital I/O.
■Great Connectors The operating level of each analog input and output can be individually adjusted to operating levels of +9, +18, +20, or +24 dBu, ensuring optimal signal integrity and maximizing headroom for devices connected to the ALPHA 8.
Whether you're using 19-inch rack gear, vintage synthesizers, analog mixers, 500-series modules, or monitor controllers, ALPHA 8 ensures that all connections to your equipment are fully optimized.
On the digital side, word clock input/output, ADAT and S/PDIF clocking options give the ALPHA 8 superior digital audio processing, ensuring jitter-free, robust integration in studio environments while enhancing performance in the creative space.
■SSL 18 + Alpha 8
The ALPHA 8 is the ultimate audio interface expander for producers and engineers who want to bring SSL sound and quality into their existing setup, but it's also the perfect companion to the SSL 18.
Instantly expand the SSL 18's I/O via ADAT, adding 8 channels (1 x ALPHA 8) or 16 channels (2 x ALPHA 8).
Perfect for easily integrating additional analog outboard processing, analog mixers, etc.
■Extend your workflow
ALPHA 8's flexible analog and digital routing opens up a wide range of workflow possibilities.
Create hardware insert paths for 500 series modules, outboard EQs, compressors, and hardware FX.
Use the S/PDIF I/O for external meters and amp simulators.
Or use the ALPHA 8 as your main interface and seamlessly connect your analog and digital devices to your DAW via USB-C.
For electronic music producers, the ALPHA 8's output can output control voltages to control synthesizers, modular rigs, and CV-enabled FX pedals.

[d+USB Type-C to C classB/1.0]
★Audio-grade, Type-C to C (USB 2.0) cable
No need for a USB adapter for either the PC or the interface.
The MacBook Pro, the standard in DJ, DTM, and streaming environments, is equipped with a USB Type-C connector. Many users have been forced to use a Type-C converter when using a d+ USB cable. Additionally, with the emergence of many audio interfaces using Type-C, there has been a demand for a simpler, direct USB Type-C connection without a converter. The introduction of the d+ USB Type-C to C Class B cable makes this possible. The stress of needing a USB adapter is no longer necessary. The d+ USB Type-C to C Class B cable provides a smart, high-quality Type-C connection for your system.
●The quality of the d+ sound remains the same
The Type-C connector is very compact. However, if the cable used is downsized unnecessarily, it will not satisfy many users. The d+ series Type-C is the largest size within USB regulations. Despite its slim design, it promises a wide range of sound. The flat cable and connector, which inherit the design that is instantly recognizable as d+, are a symbol of d+ quality that remains even with the change in connector.
●World-class quality control: The compact and convenient Type-C connector. Because it's small and portable, durability is essential. d+ USB Type-C to C Class B is produced under strict quality control, and only those that pass rigorous testing are shipped. In addition to tests under real-world conditions such as insertion/removal, bending, and load durability, the cable undergoes a characteristic impedance test called TDR (time domain reflectometry), and environmental tests such as placing the cable in high and low temperature environments with an elevation difference of 80°C or more for more than 48 hours to test the cable's condition and electrical characteristics. In addition, the cable undergoes tests under humidity levels of 80% or more and UV exposure. Only those that pass all these tests are shipped.
● Sound quality comparable to that of battery powered devices
When comparing the sound output when a PC is powered by an AC adapter to the sound output when it's running on the PC's battery, the sound output when the PC is powered directly from the battery without AC/DC switching is superior. Many modern PCs, including the MacBook Pro, use USB Type-C cables as power cables, and a d+USB Type-C to C class B cable also makes a difference when used as a power supply cable for these devices. There's no denying that power cables improve sound output, and the effectiveness of using a d+USB Type-C to C class B cable as a power cable for a PC is no exception.
