Main features
♦8-track digital multi-track recorder
The D888 features 40-bit internal processing and allows you to simultaneously record up to eight
tracks of high-quality 16-bit 44.1 kHz uncompressed audio. Each track provides eight virtual
tracks. Each track (and virtual track) is recorded as a WAV file, so it can easily be shared with DAW
software and other recorders.
A master track file (stereo WAV) is created each time you record the master track, so you can mas-
ter your song repeatedly until you are satisfied, and choose the best version later.
♦Eight analog input jacks offering your choice of TRS phone or +48V phantom-powered
XLR connectors
All of the D888’s analog inputs use high-performance balanced pre amps to take full advantage of
its high-quality full-digital audio processing.
The phone jack inputs are all TRS balanced types. Unbalanced input is also supported, allowing
you to directly connect a variety of audio sources.
The eight XLR input jacks provide +48V phantom power, allowing the easy use of both condenser
and dynamic mics.
♦Analog-like operation
The mixer section is laid out in the familiar style of an analog mixer , pr oviding eight channel strips
each offering input jacks, TRIM knob, EQ GAIN knobs, EFFECT knob, PAN knob, channel button,
and channel fader so that operation is quick and intuitive.
♦Effects
The Effect section provides 40 -bit processing and 11 types of effects. The effect parameters can be
edited, and these edits can be saved as part of your song.
♦Editing functions
Non-destructive digital editing allows you to perform various edits without impairing the high-
quality sound. In addition to punch-in/out recording, the D888 also provides Undo and Redo
functions that let you listen to the “before” and “after” versions of any edit to assure you achieve
the results you desire. Track editing functions such as Copy and Swap are also provided.
You can register one hundred mark points per song, making it easy to move quickly to desired
locations in your song for editing.
♦Internal hard disk drive
A high-capacity hard disk drive is built-in, providing approximately three hours of recording time
per GB (single track recording).
♦High-speed USB 2.0 connection
The high-speed USB 2.0 connector makes it easy to exchange track (WAV) data with a computer.
♦Rehearsal function
You can rehearse mixer operations and settings in exactly the same way as when recording but
without occupying hard disk space (i.e., without actually recording your operations).
♦Flexible output switching
With the touch of a button, the individual outputs provided for each channel can be re-configured
to provide stereo Master outputs, stereo Monitor outputs, and individual outputs for channels 5-8.
♦Metronome
The convenient metronome can be switched between the master + monitor outputs, or routed to
just the monitor output.
