Product information

General

Are you looking for the ultimate expansion solution for your audio interface? This Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic preamp by Focusrite offers 2nd generation Scarlett preamps and an analogue (hardware) compressor. What's more, the interface is a full AD/DA converter and using an ADAT interface, you can expand on your current audio interface setup easily using standard optic cables. In a flash, you'll have eight extra inputs and outputs at your disposal!

Transparent sound

The analogue-to-digital converter ensures that your performance is recorded in crystal-clear audio. Then, the digital-to-analogue converter sends the digital signal back to the balanced outputs with great accuracy. You can connect microphones and record vocals with the OctoPre Dynamic , but you can also hook up and record instruments. Using the Hi-Z inputs, there is plenty of headroom for instruments with a high output level. Finally, the presence of an internal compressor means you won't need a plugin and saves system sources as well.
