About Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic Microphone Preamp - SKU#1412988

Just imagine the possibilities with the Scarlett OctoPre 8-Channel Dynamic Microphone Preamp, a game-changing addition to your recording studio. This dynamic preamp offers eight mic/line inputs and eight line outputs, all powered by Focusrite's precision conversion technology that supports up to 192 kHz AD/DA. What sets this preamp apart is the analog compression available on every channel, a feature that builds upon the foundational capabilities of the original Scarlett OctoPre.

The Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is more than just a preamp; it's a comprehensive solution for expanding your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It's perfectly suited for interfaces with ADAT I/O, such as the Scarlett 18i8 or 18i20, making it an invaluable tool for enhancing your recording capabilities.

This dynamic preamp features eight second-generation Scarlett mic preamps, known for their natural sound quality. Each channel also boasts flexible analog compression, allowing you to control the dynamics of your input signals with ease. For those seeking more intense compression, a "More" button is available to double the compression ratio.

The Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is not just for studio use; it's also ideal for live performances. It offers eight balanced line outputs, sourced directly from their respective mic preamps. This feature allows for seamless use on stage, providing you with the flexibility you need in a live environment.

The preamp also includes dual front-panel instrument inputs, optimized headroom for tracking loud sources like drums, and accurate 5-segment LED input metering. With 48V Phantom power available on every channel, you can easily use condenser mics for your recording needs.

The Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic also stands out with its state-of-the-art digital clocking, featuring Word Clock I/O and JetPLL jitter elimination. This ensures the highest quality of sound, free from unwanted noise and distortion.

When you register your Focusrite hardware, you gain access to a suite of innovative music software from leading brands. This includes the Red 2 & 3 Plug-In Suite, available as free downloads. These tools, along with the Hitmaker Expansion, will help you create, mix, and master your music in studio quality.
