Focusrite Octopre MK II Dynamic 8 channel preamp with compression Main Features

• Eight award-winning Focusrite pre-amps
• Eight ‘single-dial’ Focusrite Compressors
• Compress transparently or with effect
• Built-in eight channel 24-bit / 96 kHz digital outputs
• Two high-quality instrument inputs

Digital inputs and outputs let you make the most of often-neglected ADAT i/o, ideal for expanding the number of mic-pre inputs on your interface or for providing analogue monitoring from any digital ADAT feed.

With this entire package fitting into a single 1U chassis complementing Focusrite’s Saffire PRO range, and all controls adjustable from the front fascia, OctoPre MkII Dynamic sets the standard for modern, compact, multi-channel recording expansions.

Features

• Eight award-winning Focusrite pre-amps
  Focusrite's unparalleled pre-amp legacy forms the foundation of this new device, with pre-amps optimized to handle extreme levels from sound sources like acoustic drums.

• Eight ‘single-dial’ Focusrite Compressors
  A single dial gets you to the right amount of compression, fast. These new VCA-based, feed-forward compressors model the character of the celebrated Focusrite Red 3.

• Compress transparently or with effect
  The classic soft-knee design achieves beautifully transparent compression that caresses your sound. Focusrite’s unique ‘More’ switch doubles the ratio to deliver ‘compression with effect’.

• Built-in eight channel 24-bit / 96 kHz digital outputs
  Make the most of your interface's ADAT input for tracking, with eight channels of analogue to digital conversion via ADAT, boasting a ‘real world’ dynamic range performance of 110dB.

• Built-in eight channel 24-bit / 96 kHz digital inputs
  Switchable from the front panel, digital to analogue conversion via ADAT provides analogue monitoring of any digital ADAT feed, as well as the ability to clock from any ADAT device.

• State-of-the-art Clocking Solutions
  OctoPre MkII Dynamic's internal clock delivers a jitter performance of +/- 20 PPM. For external clocks, industry-standard JetPLL™ jitter elimination technology is employed

• Two high-quality instrument inputs
  OctoPre MkII Dynamic’s first two channels feature DI’s, ready for you to plug in your Guitars and Bass. No expensive external DI required.

Additional features:

• Input clip and Compression active LEDs on every channel
