Hands-on control for smoother sessions
The Touch 8 centres around a responsive 10-inch multi-touch LCD screen that keeps essential recording controls within easy reach. Virtual faders touch-sensitive buttons and clear 15-segment metering make it simple to adjust levels monitor signals and manage sessions in real time. Important controls including phantom power polarity switching pad settings and direct monitoring are available directly from the touchscreen for faster workflow management.
A dedicated hardware encoder allows detailed adjustments to digital faders when more precision is needed. The Alt monitoring button helps you switch between speaker setups quickly while the dim function instantly lowers output by 20dB, helping you compare mixes at different listening levels without interrupting your session flow.
Detailed audio capture with premium conversion
High-quality preamps and converters give the Touch 8 the performance needed for demanding recording work. Its four analogue mic preamps provide up to 75dB of gain, making the interface suitable for dynamic microphones condenser microphones and instruments that need additional amplification.
The premium AD conversion delivers up to 128dB dynamic range while the DA stage reaches 130dB for spacious playback with excellent detail and depth. This combination helps maintain clarity during tracking mixing and monitoring sessions. Four Neutrik combo inputs support microphone line and instrument connections through XLR and 1/4-inch jacks while four balanced outputs provide flexible integration with studio monitors outboard gear and additional routing setups.
Expand your studio and streaming workflow
ADAT optical connectivity adds eight extra channels of input and output, allowing the Touch 8 to grow alongside larger recording systems. This makes it practical for drum recording expanded microphone setups and hybrid production environments using additional preamps or converters. The UNI OTG USB-C connection also supports direct streaming from mobile devices with stable low-latency performance powered by dual ARM Cortex-M7 processors.
Through the iCON iO Pro software, you can route audio flexibly and integrate host-based effects including reverb compression and delay into broadcasts or live performances. Loopback functionality for both Mac and Windows systems also simplifies podcasting streaming and online content production by combining multiple audio sources into a single manageable signal path.
Built for professional studio reliability
The Touch 8 combines durable construction with practical connectivity for long-term studio use. Two independent headphone outputs feature separate volume controls and monitoring options, making collaboration easier during recording sessions. Direct monitoring support reduces latency concerns while flexible routing keeps monitoring mixes organised.
BNC word clock connections help maintain synchronisation in more advanced digital systems and USB-C connectivity supports reliable operation with modern Mac and Windows setups. The included software package also expands creative possibilities with tools for vocal processing mixing sound design and recording. Included applications such as Harrison AVA Live Bitwig 8-Track and Kilohearts Toolbox help you start producing immediately while complementing the interface’s touchscreen workflow and flexible hardware control.
