Enter to WIN a Focusrite Clarett OctoPre!!

Add to your system with 8 ins and 8 outs over ADAT

The Clarett OctoPre from Focusrite gives you eight inputs and eight outputs to extend the capabilities of your Clarett interface—or any other interface that comes fitted with ADAT optical ins and outs.

Eight Clarett mic pres with extra ‘Air’

The OctoPre’s mic pres have been designed specifically for the Clarett range, with plenty of gain, yet low noise and distortion—and great sound quality. They include a special “Air” feature that switches in an analogue model of the classic transformer-based Focusrite ISA mic pre. All 8 pres offer plenty of headroom and are ideal for recording drums and other extreme level sources.

Mic, line and instrument inputs—plus eight outputs

The front panel includes dual instrument inputs featuring extra headroom to handle the loudest pickup, while the rear panel includes universal XLR/jack connectors.

In addition to providing eight mic pres with 24-bit, 192kHz A-D conversion, the Clarett OctoPre offers DA conversion of up to eight ADAT digital channels feeding 25-pin DSUB rear-panel analogue outputs. The line outputs can optionally provide line level output feeds from the mic pres—useful for feeding a live console, for example, while recording the digital outputs.

Precision digital conversion

There’s no point in having the superb-quality mic preamps in the Clarett OctoPre without equally superb digital conversion to back them up. Focusrite has been making digital audio converters almost as long as mic preamps, and those in the Clarett OctoPre ensure that you maintain the highest possible quality getting your music in and out of your DAW.
