Focusrite CLARETT-PLUS-OCTOPRE Eight-Channel ADAT Microphone Preamp

Get the best of both worlds when you record with Focusrite's Clarett+ OctoPre 8-channel ADAT microphone preamp. Eight high-gain, ultra-low distortion, wide dynamic range mic pres capture every detail of your input source, faithfully delivering the sound you hear to the OctoPre's converters. And with converters capable of 24-bit conversion at up to 192 kHz, you know the resulting tracks will accurately mirror the sound and energy of each performance. But it doesn't stop there. With the press of the Air button, you can add the magic of Focusrite's venerable ISA 110 preamp/EQ module. Air is the term given to the ethereal presence the 110 naturally added to vocals, drum transients, and anything else it touched. Use all of your favorite analog outboard gear with confidence. The Clarett+ OctoPre's converters preserve audio quality on its round trip to your compressors, EQs, and effects, ensuring your signature sound is going to shine through. Plus, a patchbay is not required as the inserts can be bypassed with just a button press so you can spend your time in front of your gear. To put all the professional touches on your recordings, Focusrite included a powerful software suite that includes titles from Antares®, Brainworx®, Softube®, XLN Audio®, Relab, and a three-month Avid® Pro Tools® Artist Subscription with Complete Plugin bundle.
