Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre 8-Channel Mic Preamp

Scarlett OctoPre gives you eight additional inputs to expand your Scarlett – or any other interface with an ADAT input. Scarlett OctoPre features eight Scarlett mic inputs – balanced line inputs too – all running through Focusrite precision 24-bit conversion at up to 192kHz resolution with 109dB dynamic range. Two high-headroom instrument inputs will handle high output guitar pickups and are right there on the front panel for easy access.

With high-headroom inputs and a pad on every channel, Scarlett OctoPre is ideal for tracking drums as well guitars, keyboards, vocals – and more. Eight balanced line outputs, sourced directly from the inputs, allow Scarlett OctoPre to be used in a live situation whilst capturing the recording via the digital ADAT output.

Various programs are included. Focusrite Red Plug-In suite models the Red 2 equaliser and Red 3 compressor. Softube Time and Tone bundle provides 4 of Softube's reverb, delay, mastering, and distortion plug-ins. Focusrite Plug-In collective gives you exclusive offers, tutorial content and more, from some of the most innovative and prestigious plug-in companies.
