ART T8-8 Channel Transformer/Isolator

Overview

Overview
The T8™ (Transformer Eight) a high quality totally passive audio interface that uses 8
transformers to separate input and output signal grounds, thereby isolating two systems and
reducing hum and ground-loop noise. The T8’s audio transformers have flat and wide frequency
response and handle high signal levels while maintaining an isolated balanced output. This gives
the T8 a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources. The transformers are
wound for 1:1 unity gain and are designed to be used with impedances from 600 ohms to 100k
ohms.
Connection versatility sets the T8 apart from other isolation boxes. The T8 provides balanced
XLR, 1/4" phone, and RCA type phono connections on all inputs and outputs simultaneously.
The T8 fits easily into virtually any audio system and is a clean patch point between all types of
systems.
The T8s mounting ears are reversible so you can have either the XLRs on the front or The 1/4"
and RCA phono jacks on the front. This maximizes flexibility in cabling your system. Whether
you need an interface between a computer based audio workstation and your monitor system,
isolation on long cable runs in a fixed installation, isolation of multiple signal sources from your
recording equipment, or in many cases, just a safer connection between two audio systems, the
T8 can accommodate.
Its full feature set, rugged construction, and high-end specifications make the T8 the obvious
choice for Live Sound, Permanent/Fixed Install, D.J., and virtually any PA application.
