SPL Director Mk2 (Red)

The all new high voltage digital to analog converter now supports 32 bit and sample rates up to 768kHz as well as DSD4.

Fans of analog tape machines or external audio processing can insert their beloved gear in the Tape Monitor loop.

Now there is a total of six analog inputs. Two of which are balanced with XLR connectors.

The housing has grown in height to provide space for the big aluminum volume control with marker LED and two mechanical VU meters.
