Focusrite Clarett OCTOPRE is an 8-channel microphone preamplifier and AD / DA converter with ADAT digital interface. Clarett's leading preamplifiers operate at 24 bit / 192 kHz and offer a dynamic range of up to 118 dB. AIR technology, which adds airiness and clarity to recordings, emulates the impedance and resonance characteristics of the legendary Focusrite ISA analogue studio preamplifier. Two analog inputs located on the front panel are capable of processing both microphone and direct instrument (Hi-Z) signals.

The transmitter has eight analog inputs with combined XLR / TRS connectors. Each input channel is equipped with insertion points for connecting external processors. The signal can …

At the heart of the ISA range is the microphone preamplifier with its Lundahl input transformer — essentially the same circuit, based on the original ISA110, that has been used for 30 years in successive Focusrite designs. The input transformer imparts a special character to the sound that can't be truly emulated in any other way: inseparable from the microphone itself, the transformer input stage is ideal for use with classic microphones. But this mic pre has a twist the original didn't have, which makes it far more versatile: four carefully-selected impedances allow you to match microphone to input in different ways. Bring out the character of a classic mic or emphasise a special feature, o…
