• Serious front-end excellence! Providing 8 pristine discrete channels of Focusrite Class A mic preamplification and compression, OctoPre routes directly to any digital audio workstation via 8 standard analog outputs or via a choice of 2 optional 24-bit, 96kHz A/D converters. The new OctoPre offers the unique qualities associated with the Focusrite name at an affordable price.
  
  Each channel features a revolutionary compressor/limiter circuit, providing a warm-sounding compressor which morphs into a brick wall limiter to avoid those critical overs, ensuring total control over all 8 channels.
  
  The mic pres are the same as those featured elsewhere in the award-winning Focusrite Platinum range. They are a transistor-based Class A design utilizing the same full-bandwidth philosophy as the legendary Red and ISA mic pres, ensuring detail and clarity without coloration. The first 2 'super channels" also feature phase reverse, as well as TRS jack inputs on the front for quick and easy, DI-free instrument plug-in.
  
  8 line-level balanced (+4dBu) analog inputs and outputs are provided via 25-pin D-type connectors. These D-type connectors may be routed to 8 XLRs by means of an 8-way 25-pin D-type to 8 XLR breakout cable, available separately. In addition to the analog outputs, the OctoPre can be fitted with an ADAT interface card or AES/SPDIF/ADAT interface card.
  
  With Class A Focusrite processing and almost all the interface options known to man, the Platinum OctoPre is the perfect partner for any Pro Tools system or any other digital audio workstation, making high-quality, multichannel recording easy. Also makes a great instant location recording solution, or additional set of mic pres for any analog or digital console, or hard disk recorder.
