The Theata has eight channels and if you see each channel as an individual channel strip then the advantage of active electronics is you can have great control with 30db of gain, this can be used to drive synths to add color and tone or to simply bring levels up like guitars which need extra amplification, it might even be enough gain to power a tube mic or dynamic & condenser mic (with an additional gain clean booster). Each channel has its own dedicated 15 pad for gain reduction, phase reverse and ground lift and to really sculpt sounds or remove unwanted noise rumble, there is a variable high pass filter with a great number of frequency options to allow great flexibility.
On the rear the Theata has 20 outputs, these come in the form of 16 direct D-sub outputs with two dedicated to each channel, then two XLR mix master outputs and two master monitor outs.
