About Focusrite Clarett+ OctoPre

While the Clarett+ OctoPre 8-Channel 8-In/Out ADAT Preamp Audio Interface is a professional-grade, high-quality audio interface, it's more than just a tool for the adaptable engineer. This innovative and versatile device is designed to deliver superior audio quality, embodying the original Focusrite Studio Console sound that has become synonymous with excellence in the audio industry.

The Clarett+ OctoPre is equipped with eight low distortion, low noise mic preamps. These preamps feature fully balanced signal paths, ensuring that your recording sessions benefit from the professional Focusrite sound. Whether you're recording jazz or heavy metal drums, this device captures the performer's vision with ample headroom, allowing you to focus on the session without the need for constant gain staging adjustments.

Engineers will appreciate the all-analogue Air with relay-controlled circuitry, a secret weapon that captures transients on drums, enhances vocals, and ensures a precise, clear recording. When Air is engaged, the Clarett+ OctoPre switches impedance to 2.2k Ohm and adds two cumulative high shelves, recreating the sound of the classic Focusrite ISA 110.

The Clarett+ OctoPre's eight dedicated channel inserts allow for easy integration of analogue equipment into the signal path. This flexible design reduces the need for a patchbay, saving you time and effort. Exceptional D-A conversion preserves audio quality when sending audio to analogue compressors, EQs, and effects, allowing you to process audio in your signature style.

For guitarists, the JFET instrument inputs capture the true characteristics of guitars, retaining the purity of high frequencies for a sound that feels like you're plugging straight into an amp. Connect the OctoPre to any of the other Clarett+ range to have four instrument inputs at your disposal, perfect for DI multitracking.

The Clarett+ OctoPre can be easily and consistently expanded via ADAT, making it a valuable addition to any professional recording setup. Non-Clarett+ users can upgrade their standard by connecting to any ADAT-enabled interface, bringing the classic Focusrite sound to their recordings.

The Clarett+ OctoPre also comes with an impressive software suite, including Brainworx Bx_console Focusrite SC, Focusrite Red 2 & 3 Plug-in Suite, Antares Auto-Tune Access, and more. These tools, along with the included Hitmaker Expansion bundle of recording software, provide you with everything you need to achieve studio-grade results.

In summary, the Clarett+ OctoPre 8-Channel 8-In/Out ADAT Preamp Audio Interface is a durable, high-quality, and innovative solution for professional audio recording and mixing. Its versatility and superior sound quality make it an invaluable tool for any audio professional.
