Welcome to the New Standard
The Horizon 8P is a flagship 24-input, 32-output Thunderbolt 3 audio interface built for the mission-critical studio. Featuring eight Audient console preamps with ORBIT Control and Elite 32-bit mastering-grade conversion, Horizon bridges the gap between classic analogue character and the stability of a direct PCIe-speed connection.
Uncompromising quality. Unrivalled performance. The first step into a frictionless, scalable studio foundation. Welcome to the new standard.
