P8 Touchscreen: The Mic Preamp Slider allows you to dial in the level or gain of each mic. Make adjustments until the signal is peaking in the "Good Range".

The Tone Adjustment can make your voice darker or brighter, for that perfect podcast voice. Compressor/DeEsser enables your voice to have more presence for that perfect studio podcast sound. In the On Air screen select Noise Reduction to decrease background noise by automatically turning down the mic levels for tracks not in use. It Speaks Your Language The P8's touchscreen display can be set to any one of six languages. Choose from English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Japanese.
