The discrete Class A preamp, 80C EQ, and 27 dB of headroom are identical across all Series 88 configurations; the difference is channel count only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eIn-Line on 16 Channels — More Inputs Than the Name Suggests\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe split\/inline architecture means each of the 16 channel modules runs two independent signal paths simultaneously: the main input path (preamp + full 80C EQ) and the monitor section (Tilt EQ). At mixdown, both paths per module feed the stereo bus, effectively delivering 32 separately equalized inputs from a 16-channel frame. The Input Reverse switch swaps the input and monitor paths, routing the full four-band EQ to the monitor path without any recabling. The Meter Select switch lets the operator choose the metering point between Direct Out and Monitor Return from the channel face — a practical detail that cuts down on workflow interruptions during tracking and overdub sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eServiceability and Outboard Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEach channel sits on an individual module with a shock-mounted motherboard on rubber standoffs. Module replacement requires one screwdriver and a few minutes; the console continues to operate with a channel removed. A dedicated switchable input bypasses the onboard preamp and routes signal directly to the EQ section, making integration of external preamps — including 500-series units — straightforward and clean. Two independent insert points per channel: one post-preamp, one in the EQ loop. Optional Lundahl input and output transformers are available on a per-channel basis. The 88-16 is built to order with a standard 3–4 week lead time; connector options at order: XLR\/TRS jack or DB25\/XLR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e16-channel in-line split, 8-bus — split\/inline architecture delivers 32 inputs to the stereo bus at mixdown\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDiscrete Class A mic preamp per channel — 60 dB gain, full bypass to EQ section\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e80C EQ: 4 fully sweepable bands, ±15 dB, available on channels, monitors, FX returns, and groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTilt EQ on monitor section, switchable with full channel EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e27 dB headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTwo insert points per channel: post-preamp and in the EQ loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 Aux Masters with AFL\/PFL solo; 2 independent ALT Monitor outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 stereo FX returns with EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInput Reverse and Meter Select (Direct Out \/ Monitor Return) switches per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull modularity — each channel replaceable independently without console disassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOptions: Lundahl I\/O transformers, automation, VU or LED metering, DB25 connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIntegrated talkback microphone, rackmount power supply included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannels: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eArchitecture: in-line split, 8-bus\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMic preamp: discrete Class A, 60 dB gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEQ: 4-band fully sweepable (80C topology), ±15 dB per band\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadroom: 27 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response, mic in to mix out: +0 \/ -0.3 dB, 20 Hz–80 kHz (at 6–40 dB gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response, line in to mix out: +0 \/ -0.3 dB, 20 Hz–60 kHz (at 0 dB gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBus noise (equivalent to 64 inputs): below -77 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnectors: XLR \/ 6.35 mm TRS jack combo or DB25 \/ XLR (selected at order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: approx. 121.9 x 86.4 x 76.2 cm (48 x 34 x 30 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 125 kg (275 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: rackmount power supply included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Trident","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53985781023057,"sku":"28955","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/TridentSeries88Console-88-32_a0a1a47f-2930-40e1-88c2-70ebf5a4c550.jpg?v=1781027554","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/trident-series-88-console-88-16","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
