The Lectrosonics XLR8 is an eight-channel, balanced XLR input connector panel designed as an alternative for the unbalanced inputs on the AM8 automatic mixer. Inputs 7 and 8 offer RCA jacks as an alternative to the XLR connectors, and are ideal for use with tape decks or other consumer audio equipment. The XLR 8 conveniently mounts into a single 19-inch rack space.
