Expert Sleepers ES-8 DC Coupled Audio Interface + Free Audulus 3 Copy

SPECIAL OFFER!

When you order an Expert Sleepers ES-8 from Century Sound Labs, you'll receive a free copy of Audulus 3 for iOS, Mac, Windows, or Linux (your choice!).  To see it in action, check out the demo video on this page.

The ES-8 is a USB 2.0 class-compliant audio interface in a Eurorack module, with DC-coupled inputs and outputs that can be used for both CVs and audio. As such it is directly compatible with all popular computer-based CV generation software (e.g. , , , , , , etc.) as well as audio and CV processing iOS apps.

The ES-8 also has ADAT inputs & outputs. This could be used for example to expand the I/O count via an Expert Sleepers  and/or , or to connect a traditional audio interface to add, say, mic preamps or 1/4" line outputs (for example with the ).

An expansion header allows connection of an Expert Sleepers , to which in turn you can connect our gate, CV and MIDI expanders.

The ES-8 has a high quality internal clock, and it can optionally sync to the clock from the input ADAT signal.
