Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic 8-Channel Mic Preamp
Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic 8-Channel Mic Preamp
Expand your studio with eight mic/line inputs, eight line outputs, Focusrite precision conversion up to 192 kHz AD/DA and analogue compression on every channel.
The Scarlett Octopre Dynamic builds on the features of the Scarlett OctoPre, adding analogue compression to all input channels and eight channels of precision D-A conversion. With dual ADAT* optical I/O, its ideal for expanding a Scarlett 18i8 or 18i20 — or any interface with ADAT I/O.
Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is the ideal way of adding eight extra mic/line inputs to your DAW. It also offers eight balanced line outputs, sourced directly from their respective mic preamps for use on stage in a live environment.
Featuring eight channels of Focusrite's 2nd generation Scarlett preamps and a soft-knee VCA compressor on every channel. Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic lets you control the dynamics of all your input signals with an easy-to-use single-knob analogue compressor on every channel. There's a transparent mode for subtle compression plus a "More" button that doubles the ratio for compression with effect.
In addition to the eight input channels, Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic includes eight line outputs, sourced either from the ADAT inputs for eight additional analogue outputs, or directly from the mic inputs for use in a live sound environment.
Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is ideal for expanding any high quality, multi-channel recording system. With its high-headroom mic, line and dual instrument inputs and analogue compression, it's ideal for tracking drums as well guitars, keyboards, vocals and more. Meanwhile the eight outputs give you the option of expanding your analogue outputs over and above the Scarlett OctoPre.
Key Features
Eight natural-sounding 2nd generation Scarlett mic preamps
Flexible analogue compression on every channel
Eight balanced line inputs
Focusrite precision AD/DA conversion up to sample rates of 192 kHz
Dual front-panel instrument inputs
Optimized headroom for tracking loud sources such as drums
Eight balanced line outputs — ideal for live use
Accurate 5-segment LED input metering
Simple ADAT connectivity via optical cables
48V Phantom power available on every channel for condenser mics
State-of-the-art digital clocking with Word Clock I/O for synchronisation with external devices
Eight Scarlett mic pres
Building on the features of the Scarlett OctoPre, Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic brings you the ultimate Scarlett expansion with eight Scarlett mic preamps and analogue compression on every input channel providing a musical, soft-knee style of compression for more subtle control of your dynamics. The MORE button then allows you to double the ratio for more aggressive compression effects.
Dual high-headroom instrument inputs
Two high-headroom instrument inputs will handle high-output guitar pickups. Don't forget to engage a bit of compression, great for controlling the dynamics of electric basses and guitars.
Expand the number of outputs in your studio
Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic's eight analogue outputs can be sourced either directly from the mic preamps for live use, or via the ADAT inputs to give you eight more analogue outputs channels from your DAW.
