The Studer A800 brings the warmth, cohesion and tape saturation of the classic tape machine to digital recordings.

The complete Studer A800 signal paths, including Input, Sync and Repro, are modelled. Warmth, presence, cohesion and low-end punch that only genuine tape can provide, plus multiple tape formulas, create complex analog textures. In LUNA, the A800 is also available as a LUNA Extension on every channel.
