The 003 Rack+ Factory is Here!

With Pro Tools 8 just around the corner (I'm so excited!), Digidesign has done it again by releasing the 003 Rack+ Factory. I have been a 002 Rack owner for many years now, and like most owners of that system, all we ever wanted (aside from a Word Clock connector) was MORE PREAMPS! Well folks, now you can have your cake AND eat it too. With the new 003 Rack+ Factory, you have 8 analog inputs with mic preamps, 8 analog outs, 8 I/O via an ADAT cable, 2 I/O via S/PDIF, Word Clock, AND MIDI! How do they squeeze all that into one box? I dunno, but you should take a look!

Digidesign 003 Rack + Factory

Stay tuned for Pro Tools 8!
