The Beauty & The Beast of Filters

The CPM DF-8 Analog Dynamic Multi-filter is the latest in our Pro Audio range. Dubbed “Beauty and the Beast,” This unique filter box combines the precision of a smooth analog recreation of the classic 2045 Lowpass filter with the bold, dynamic character of Stylophone’s proprietary GEN R-8 filter.

The DF-8 is much more than a dual filter box. It’s a sound design tool, equipped with two white noise sources, a sample-and-hold modulation source with adjustable slew, and a crunchy PT2399 delay with modulation. It serves as a versatile sound source capable of everything from subtle atmospheres to all-out sonic chaos.

Like all CPM units, the CPM DF-8 is designed for portability and flexibility. Stylophones’ unique enclosure design with side ribs allows multiple CPM units to be locked together, for stability like a large modular, and for easy insertion into a Eurorack desk.

In addition to a stereo Line Level output It has a stereo phones out socket to listen and monitor over headphones and a compact 2 Watt built-in speaker.
