Expert Sleepers ES-8: The Ultimate USB Bridge to Eurorack

The Expert Sleepers ES-8 is a high-performance USB 2.0 audio interface in a compact Eurorack format. With a total of twelve inputs and sixteen outputs (including ADAT connectivity), this module provides a comprehensive solution for hybrid modular setups. All analog inputs and outputs are DC-coupled, meaning they can handle both high-fidelity audio and precision control voltages (CV). Whether you are utilizing Ableton CV Tools, Bitwig Studio, or Expert Sleepers' own Silent Way software, the ES-8 ensures an ultra-stable, low-latency link between your DAW and your modular hardware.

Key Features:

• USB Audio Interface: Connect directly to Mac, PC, or iOS devices without the need for a separate desktop interface.

• DC-Coupled I/O: Engineered to send and receive accurate CV, gate, and audio signals without voltage drop.

• ADAT Expandability: Easily scale your system by adding more channels via the optical TOSLINK ports.

• Standalone Operation: Can function as a dedicated ADAT-to-analog converter when not connected to a computer.

• Pro-Grade Audio: Supports sample rates up to 96kHz for pristine recording and playback.
