About this listing

Product Highlights For Live & Studio Use Adds 8 Mic Pres to Scarlett Interfaces Adds 8 Line Outs to Existing Interfaces Dual Front-Panel Instrument Jacks AD Conversion up to 192 kHz Dual-Port ADAT 8-Channel Output 48V Power on All Inputs Word Clock I/O Simultaneous Digital & Analog Outputs Includes Focus Red 3 & Softube Bundle The Scarlett OctoPre from Focusrite is designed to connect w/ existing interfaces, supplying them w/ an additional eight mic pres, eight balanced inputs, eight line outputs, and analog to digital conversion at 192 kHz via ADAT outputs. The mic pres are the same found in 2nd-generation Scarlett interfaces, and thus, comprise a suitable solution for expanding the input array of an existing Scarlett rig. The OctoPre also sports two combination inputs on the front panel that accommodate the 1/4" outputs of instruments, giving you the ability to plug a guitar or a bass straight into the device. Pads on every channel allow you to capture the sound of high-level sound sources (drumkits, for instance), and 48V phantom power can be instantiated to give condenser microphones their necessary juice.These features, combined w/ the word clock sync I/O and 5-segment LED metering, render the unit quite suitable for use in the studio. But that's only one of its intended uses: the Scarlett OctoPre also operates well in live-sound conditions, providing eight additional preamps for the stage, all feeding their respective line outputs so they can feed a multitude of mixers, consoles, and PAs. You can even use the line outputs to feed a console while simultaneously recording digitally via the ADAT outputs. As w/ other items in the Scarlett series, the OctoPre ships w/ included software, giving you access to the Focus Red 3 plug-in suite, as well as the Softube Time & Tone bundle.Notable Features Eight 2nd-generation Scarlett mic preamps Eight balanced line inputs Focusrite A-D conversion up to sample rates of 192 kHz Dual front-panel instrument inputs Pad on every channel for extra headroom - ideal for loud sources such as drums Eight balanced line outputs, suitable for live use Accurate 5-segment LED input metering ADAT connectivity via optical cables 48V phantom power available on every channel for condenser mics Included software bundle (Focusrite Red 3 and Softube Time & Tone Bundle) Digital clocking w/ Word Clock I/O and JetPLL jitter elimination815301008491
