DACS’ 

range of high performance studio and stage devices embody our 

philosophy. We believe in simplicity, but above all else, Clarity; sonic Clarity and 
functional  Clarity.  The  range  includes  the 

DACS  MicAmp2

,  a  two  channel 

microphone  pre-amplifier¹  (see  also  reviews  in  Sound  on  Sound  and  Studio 
Sound, both November 1997 viewable on our website). Our recently launched 
(Aug 2006)

 Eightch

, an eight channel volume control, won the Pro Audio Review 

PAR Excellence award.

For  many  years 

DACS 

have  manufactured  custom  equipment  for 

professionals the world over using a number of our own high performance audio 

building block

 circuits. The performance of these circuits has been honed over 

the  years  out  in  the  field,  and  developed  through  fulfilling  the  changing 
professional requirements of their many customers in widely divergent sectors of 
the industry.

DACS 

have  crystallised  these  years  of  experience  to  bring  you  this 

range of elegantly simple high performance units, all hand made throughout. 
Where  they  benefit  performance  we  use  expensive  components  and  time 
consuming processes, but do not spend prodigiously on ‘cosmetics’. Though we 
are  bucking  the  trend  towards 

downsizing

  work-forces  and  automating 

manufacturing  processes,  these  units  are  very  competitively  priced.  This  is 
achieved by a combination of good design, good organisation, low overheads, 
and the use of standard housings and other components where possible.

These visually striking, well engineered devices will last well into this 

century  achieving  levels  of  performance  that  digital  technology,  and  much 
analogue technology, aspires to today.

YOU are what make your studio world class.

Our equipment is designed to help you continue to produce fine music well 

into this century.

¹ We are proud to announce that the MicAmp won the Studio Sound Audio Industry Recognition 
Award in the Outboard Pre-amp category. This was voted for by registered readers of Studio Sound 
worldwide.
