Multi-core FX engine, 8 DSPs, 16 simultaneous algorithms, 96 channels, flexible routing, network audio, MIDI, USB, touchscreen, remote control
The Eventide H9000 is a professional-grade multi-effects processor designed for studios, sound designers, and performers who demand versatility and uncompromising audio quality. With its 2RU rackmount format and intuitive interface, the H9000 is built to integrate into complex setups, offering powerful real-time processing across up to 16 effects modules, organized into four flexible FX chains.
Its architecture is powered by multiple high-performance DSP engines, supporting a vast collection of over 1,500 effects algorithms. These range from Eventide's iconic reverb and delay modules to modern tools for pitch-shifting, filtering, dynamics, and spatial audio. Each FX chain allows custom routing in serial or parallel configurations, giving users precise control over signal flow. The H9000 supports a wide array of analog and digital I/O formats, functions as a 16-channel USB audio interface, and includes expansion slots for systems like Dante, MADI, and Pro Tools | HD. Full control is available from the front panel or via the Emote software application and plugin, making it easy to adjust parameters and manage sessions across desktop and DAW environments.
