Product information "Focusrite Clarett+ Octopre"
Get the classic Focusrite sound with the fully analogue Air circuit
Get closer to Focusrite's roots with high-quality, relay-controlled analogue circuitry in every preamp, modelling the classic Focusrite ISA 110 used in the original Focusrite Studio Console. When the Air function is engaged the impedance is switched to 2.2 kΩ and two cumulative shelving filters for the highs are added, together providing a 4 dB lift in the upper frequencies.
Record the most honest version of your sound with the Clarett+ mic preamps.
Achieve clean results on every recording. With a dynamic range of 118 dB and 129 dBu EIN the natural character of source signals is preserved. The fully balanced signal path ensures incoming signals remain interference-free and low-noise, giving your sessions the professional Focusrite sound.
Stay connected to each channel via the inserts
The eight dedicated channel inserts on the Clarett+ OctoPre let you record through your favourite outboard gear to capture true character. Thanks to our flexible insert design you can easily integrate analogue devices into the signal path.
Clean, accurate multitrack recording with improved A/D converters
Approach multitrack recording with confidence and master every session. The Clarett+ OctoPre's A/D conversion, combined with its powerful preamps, delivers extremely low noise and very low distortion. This yields professional-sounding tracks that are ready to be mixed straight away.
Preserve your own style with improved D/A converters
Thanks to the Clarett+ OctoPre's exceptional D/A conversion, engineers can process audio in their own style while relying on full preservation of audio quality when sending material to analogue compressors, EQs and effects. Connect the Clarett+ OctoPre to a Clarett+ 8Pre via ADAT to transfer 16 channels to a mixing console.
Premium-quality audio over ADAT
Add the Clarett+ OctoPre to a 2Pre, 4Pre or 8Pre to extend your ins and outs easily and consistently over ADAT. Users of non-Clarett+ devices can upgrade to a professional standard and give their recordings the classic Focusrite sound by connecting to an ADAT-compatible audio interface that benefits from the Clarett+ OctoPre's premium quality.
Preserve the natural sound of your guitar
Capture the character of guitars via the Clarett+ OctoPre's JFET instrument inputs. The wide input bandwidth preserves high-frequency clarity and gives you the feel of being connected directly to an amp.
Software bundle
Achieve studio-quality results with the included Hitmaker Expansion, a bundle of mixing plug-ins and virtual instruments.
