With the digital optical connection now the standard format for interfacing digital recorders and digital mixers, easy and fast patching between machines has increasingly become a problem for busy studios.


The Fostex DP-8 is the ideal digital patching solution.
Ultra compact (only 1U of rack space) and simple to use, the DP-8 features 6 optical I/O’s (ADAT & S/P DIF) and 2 coaxial I/O’s (S/P DIF), with any input being routed to any output via the front panel rotary switches. S/P DIF signals can be seamlessly converted from optical to coaxial and from coaxial to optical.
Plus, for ease of use, the optical I/O for Ch 8 is conveniently located on the front panel. Ideal for ‘temporary’ patches.
The DP-8 simply addresses all your digital patching needs.
