Studio Electronics OBIE-EIGHT

Classic Oberheim tone, reborn in rackmount power.

The Studio Electronics OBIE-EIGHT brings the legendary sound of the Oberheim OB-8 into a modern, rack-mounted format—delivering lush pads, bold brass, silky leads, and that unmistakable analog warmth. At Rupert Street Recording, it’s a favorite for sculpting rich, vintage-inspired synth textures with modern studio flexibility. With its discrete analog circuitry and precise control, the OBIE-EIGHT is perfect for everything from retro wave to cutting-edge electronic production.

The original OB-8 was used on classic tracks by Prince (1999), Van Halen (Jump), and The Police—making its DNA a part of pop and rock history. The OBIE-EIGHT keeps that legacy alive in a streamlined studio-ready format.
