Ayre Acoustics is proud to present our latest addition to the X-8 Series of products, the PX-8 Phono Preamplifier.

The PX-8 is set to become the vinyl enthusiasts go to instrument for the ultimate analog experience. Featuring two separate inputs with a balanced or unbalanced connection and the ability to change your gain and load settings on the fly, it has never been easier to have multiple tonearms set up and ready to play at a moments notice. An optional third input supports the DS Audio photo optical cartridge technology, with other innovations for this optional input coming soon!

Another hallmark feature is the addition of a premium analog to digital conversion circuit that will allow users to digitize and archive their rare vinyl collection while enjoying pure analog bliss simultaneously. Connect to a stand alone digital recorder with AES/EBU, Toslink, or SPDIF/COAX, or simply connect by USB to your computer and record to any recording software you prefer.
