PROFESSIONAL QUALITY 8-IN/8-OUT ADAT MIC PREAMPLIFIER FOR ENGINEERS WITH HIGH ADAPTABILITY
The Clarett+ OctoPre is an 8-in/8-out ADAT microphone preamplifier that delivers professional sound quality with the original Focusrite Studio Console sound.
CAPTURE EVERY DETAIL OF YOUR DRUM RECORDINGS
Clarett+ Mic Pre helps you get clean recordings in every session. With eight professional-quality, low-distortion, low-noise mic preamps and fully balanced signal paths that give your sessions a professional Focusrite sound.
THE TRUE VERSION OF YOUR SOUND
From jazz to heavy metal drums, capture the performer's vision - large headroom so you can focus on your session without having to constantly adjust gain. For engineering technologists, a fully balanced signal path ensures that incoming signals are clean and free of unwanted coloration. You can be sure that the recording is correct the first time and accurately captures the energy of the live session.
GET THE SOUND OF YOUR CONSOLE
The all-analog Air system with relay-controlled circuits is the engineer's secret weapon. Captures transients on drums, adds sparkle to vocals and ensures a precise, clean recording. When the Air is turned on, the Clarett+ OctoPre switches the impedance to 2.2kΩ and adds two cumulative high shelves for a total of 4dB of high-frequency boost, reproducing the tone of the classic Focusrite ISA 110.
TRACKING VIA YOUR FAVORITE OUTBOARD
The eight dedicated channel inserts on the Clarett+ OctoPre allow you to easily add analog devices to your signal path. The flexible design of the inserts reduces the need for a patchbay because the inserts are switchable - so you no longer have to reach to the back of the device. Leave your amp plugged in and just press the button to bypass it
KEEP YOUR DISTINCTIVE STYLE
Unique DA conversion ensures audio quality is preserved when sent to analog compressors, equalizers and effects. You can easily process audio in your signature style and benefit from integrating external devices into your workflow to achieve accurate results. Send 16 channels of high-quality audio from your computer by connecting the Clarett+ OctoPre to the Clarett+ 8Pre via ADAT - the perfect solution for integrating an analog mixer into your workflow
KEEP YOUR GUITAR'S NATURAL SOUND
JFET instrument inputs capture the true sound characteristics of the guitar. The wide input bandwidth keeps high frequencies clear and gives the impression that you're plugging straight into an amplifier. Connect OctoPre to any of the other Clarett+ devices to have four instrument inputs at your disposal. Perfect for DI multitracking - a band can perform together and capture the essence of the moment in a clear, clean and accurate recording.
HIGHEST QUALITY SOUND BY ADAT
Add Clarett+ OctoPre to your 2Pre, 4Pre or 8Pre to easily and consistently expand I/O via ADAT. Non-Clarett+ users can upgrade to a professional standard by connecting to any ADAT-enabled interface, bringing the classic Focusrite sound as well as the premium quality of the Clarett+ OctoPre to their recordings.
