EVENTIDE H8000FW Details
The Eventide H8000FW combines the analog I/O of the H8000A with digital I/O of the H8000 and then adds FireWire connectivity. With FireWire, the H8000FW's massive processing power is available with one easy connection to your computer workstation.
The H8000FW is a mammoth effects processor, offering nearly 1,600 classic Eventide presets with expanded analog and digital I/O. Audio engineers now have the ability to easily utilize the sheer processing power of the H8000 with any computer-based recording platform using a direct, high-speed FireWire connection. The H8000FW is Eventide's new flagship processor and is also available as an upgrade for current H8000, H8000A, and Orville owners. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more information!
The H8000FW builds upon the success of the Ultra-Harmonizer effects processor platform by uniting all the prized features and functions into one definitive unit that is capable of interfacing directly with a computer-based recording system. With direct access to 24-bit dynamic processing and more than 1,600 built-in Eventide preset algorithms, you can rely on the H8000FW to deliver an entire spectrum of effects without taxing any processing power from your CPU. The H8000FW features Monolithic Tandem, which allows both processors to operate together, facilitating large complex algorithms, including 5.1 reverb and effects or up to eight channels of discrete processing.
Twelve channels of AES/EBU, ADAT, S/PDIF, and FireWire digital I/O: 24-bit
Over eighty 5.1 presets, including 5.1 reverbs, and effects up to 96kHz sampling frequency.
The very best Eventide preset-algorithms, including our award-winning reverb, lush choruses, FM panners, sample-and-hold filters, vibratos, modulating delays, multiband compression, phase shifting, micro pitch shifting, vocoding and much more
New search engine functionality for easier preset sorting
Monolithic Tandem™ which allows one large algorithm to run using two DSP chips, providing the user with maximum horsepower for huge, complex algorithms including 5.1 reverbs and effects
Complex editing simplified with "Building-Block Effects Architecture"
"Anything-to-Anything" routing capability

Pristine analog: 4 channels of XLR and ¼" TRS inputs, s/n >110dB
EVENTIDE H8000FW FAQ
Q: Is the H8000 compatible with the EVE/NET Controller?
A: Yes, subject to the fact that the EVE/NET has four LED columns whereas the H8000 has eight. You can select which four of the eight channels will be displayed on the EVE/NET at any time. The H8000 connection is identical to that of the Orville, which is covered in the EVE/NET manual.
Q: Is the H8000 more powerful than the Orville?
A: Yes, The DSP themselves are more powerful, and run at a a higher clock speed, which yields more processing power. In addition, the H8000 can run a single program on both DSPs simultaneously. This more than doubles the effective power when running a single preset.
Q: Is it possible to add more analog I/O to the H8000?
A: Due to popular demand, Eventide now offers the H8000A, which features four channels of pristine analog I/O (greater than 110dB S/N), and four channels of AES/EBU in addition to ADAT and S/PDIF digital I/O.
Q: Is it possible to upgrade my OrvilleTM to an H8000 or an H8000A?
A: Yes! By filling out this information and submitting it to Eventide.
