Focusrite - Clarett+ OctoPre
Professional-quality eight-channel ADAT microphone preamp
with the original Focusrite Studio Console sound
Focusrite's Clarett+ OctoPre is the eight-channel ADAT preamp for both the aspiring and established engineer.

Two JFET instrument inputs capture the true characteristics of guitars, just like plugging into an amp.
High-quality A-D/D-A converters brings audio clarity to studio tracking sessions with high dynamic range, ultra-low noise, and ultra-low distortion. Exceptional D-A conversion ensures that audio quality is preserved when sending audio to analogue compressors, EQs, and effects.
Add Clarett+ OctoPre to a 2Pre, 4Pre or 8Pre to expand your I/O easily and consistently via ADAT, so that you can record a whole band together while maintaining analogue purity and clarity as well as bringing the classic Focusrite Studio Console sound to your recordings.
