Expert Sleepers ES-8

The Expert Sleepers ES-8 is a USB 2.0 class-compliant audio interface to be integrated in your Eurorack Modular Synthesizer. Loaded with DC-coupled inputs and outputs that can be used with both audio and CV devices. The ES-8 is directly compatible with popular computer-based CV generation software and can also work with audio and CV processing iOS apps.

To expand the I/O count of the ES-8, additional ADAT connections have been integrated. Common expansion models include the ES-3 and/or the ES-6, you can also connect traditional audio interfaces for additional mic preamps and ¼” line outputs.

The ES-8 can be used as a stand-alone ADAT to audio converter, providing DC-coupled I/O expansion for other ADAT audio interfaces. The expansion header allows connection to the ES-5 to expand gate, CV and MIDI functions of the ES-8

The ES-8 is equipped with a high-quality internal clock or can be controlled by an external clock through it’s ADAT connections.
