In fact, a complimentary one-year subscription to the Slate Everything Bundle is included with your purchase. Slate Digital is a company well-regarded for its modeling software, and the VRS8 offers almost all of this software, some of it on perpetual basis-as is the case with the Virtual preamp collection-and the rest of it via annual licenses. Using this preamp, the aforementioned microphones, and included software, the VRS aims to put heretofore cost-prohibitive, holy-grail mic/pre combinations at your fingertips, with each element in the chain contributing to that goal. This interface is designed to be paired with separately available Slate Digital microphones to deliver what slate calls the VRS, or Virtual Recording Studio. Two discrete headphone amplifiers are on hand for pristine private monitoring, and two front-facing 1/4' instrument jacks accept both instrument and line-level signals. It utilizes a satellite-grade clocking system and AKM AK5578 converter chips, ensuring a stable audio performance and a dynamic range of 124 dB.

The Slate Digital VRS8 is an 8-channel interface designed to provide a flat, linear frequency response, as well as extremely low latencies of 0.7 ms at 96 kHz.
