Product Information
Focusrite Clarett+ OctoPre with All-analogue Air
Focusrite Clarett+ OctoPre is a a flexible and adaptable eight-channel ADAT mic preamp. The Clarett+ OctoPre allows you to get the authentic, original Focusrite sound thanks to its premium, relay-controlled analogue circuitry on every preamp that emulates the classic Focusrite ISA 110, as featured on the original Focusrite Studio Console. When Air is engaged it switches the impedance to 2.2kΩ and adds two cumulative high shelves, totalling a 4dB boost in the high frequencies. The Clarett+ Series also comes with a free Pro Tools Artist trial too, so if you want only the best of the best in your studio, Focusrite Clarett+ OctoPre is the recording interface for you!
