FOCUSRITE CLARETT OCTOPRE Professional Audio Digital Studio Interface

  
8 Channel Mic Pre and AD/DA Audio Interface. The Focusrite Clarett OctoPre is an 8 channel mic pre and AD/DA converter. Whatever you record, however you work, there will come the day that you need more inputs.

Clarett OctoPre gives you eight - and eight outputs too - that you can use to extend the capabilities of your Clarett Thunderbolt audio interface - or any other interface fitted with ADAT optical inputs and outputs. The mic pres have been designed specifically for the Clarett range, with plenty of gain, yet low noise and distortion - and great sound quality. They include a special Air feature that switches in an analogue model of the classic transformer-based Focusrite ISA mic pre, switching the impedance of the preamp to that of the original ISA, and enabling a transformer resonance effect, giving your microphone recordings the air and clarity of an ISA transformer-based mic pre recording. In addition, the mic pres have plenty of headroom and are ideal for recording drums and other extreme level sources. In addition, each input has its own switched insert point for single-cable connection of compression, equalization and other outboard analogue processing - with hard-wired relay bypass so you can leave outboard gear or a patchbay connected ready to access at the press of a button.

In addition to providing eight mic pres with 24-bit, 192kHz A-D conversion, the Clarett OctoPre offers D-A conversion of up to eight ADAT digital channels feeding 25-pin DSUB rear-panel analogue outputs, making it useful for mixing as well as tracking. The line outputs can optionally provide line level output feeds from the mic pres - useful for feeding a live console, for example, while recording the digital outputs.

Aside from the insert point, the Clarett OctoPre is balanced end to end for exceptional noise immunity. Red 2 & 3 Plug-In Suite is included as a free download. Softube Time & Tone Bundle is included as a free download.
