Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic Mic Pre and Converter
Eight Powerful Scarlett Mic Pres:
• Experience the ultimate Scarlett expansion with eight 2nd Generation mic preamps.
• Enjoy analogue compression on every input channel for a musical, soft - knee style of dynamics control.
• Use the 'more' button to double the ratio for more aggressive compression effects.
Precision A - D and D - A Conversion:
• Eight channels of Focusrite precision A - D capture your performance clearly, honestly, and transparently.
• With an ADAT output on your interface, eight channels of D - A get it back out via balanced line outputs.
• Dual ADAT optical inputs and outputs are great for expanding your studio's I/O.
Dual High - Headroom Hi - Z Instrument Inputs:
• Two high - headroom instrument inputs handle high output guitar pickups.
• Compression is great for controlling the dynamics of electric basses and guitars.
Ideal for the Whole Band Recording:
Whether you're tracking drums, guitars, keyboards, vocals, or more, this is perfect for expanding any high - quality multi - channel recording system.
• Its high - headroom mic, line, and dual instrument inputs, along with analogue compression on every channel, make it a great choice.
Expand Your Studio Outputs:
• Eight analogue outputs can be sourced directly from the mic preamps for live use or via the ADAT inputs for eight more analogue output channels from your DAW.
About ADAT:
ADAT is a simple way to add extra I/O channels via optical cable. One light - pipe can carry up to eight channels of audio. Just connect the OctoPre's ADAT output to your interface's ADAT input, set the sample rate and clock source, and you're good to go. Many Focusrite and third - party interfaces support ADAT I/O.
