Once installed, the unit gains four ready-to-use mic pre channels, with a clear path to add channels 5-8 later on the same board.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eULN-8-Grade Mic Input on a LIO-8 Converter\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn its own, the LIO-8 is a conversion and routing processor with no built-in mic preamps, which limits it to line-level work. This kit removes that limitation by bringing in the same ULN-R preamp design used in the ULN-8 — gain range from -22 dB to +91.5 dB, 0.5 dB steps, ±0.05 dB precision. A 115 dB flat dynamic range and a 117.9 dB A-weighted noise floor mean tracking vocals or acoustic guitar directly into the LIO-8 no longer requires an outboard preamp or a compromise in signal path.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Foundation for a Full 8-Channel System\u003c\/h3\u003e\nInstalling the DB-25 board together with the first four channels sets up the unit for a full 8-mic-input expansion later with no extra wiring — just add the 5-8 kit down the line. This lets an owner spread out the investment: start with the four channels needed for solo tracking or small sessions, then scale up to a full band setup without swapping converters.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour ULN-R preamps identical to those used in the ULN-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes an 8-channel DB-25 input board ready for future expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mics plus line and instrument-level signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+48V phantom power, independently switchable per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh rejection of RFI and common-mode noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel number: 003-11013\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 3.3 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range (flat, 0-22.05 kHz): 115 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range (A-weighted): 118 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain range: -22 dB to +91.5 dB, 0.5 dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD D\/A\/A\/D loop @ -12 dBFS: 0.0007%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk @ 1 kHz: -110 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom power: +48V, switchable per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Metric Halo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54336243794257,"sku":"46184","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/MetricHaloLIO-84Channel_1-4_ULN-RPreampKit.jpg?v=1784569293","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/metric-halo-lio-8-4-channel-1-4-uln-r-preamp-kit","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
