  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 8 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: Not Applicable (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)

    • Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 192 (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)

Depending on the desired sound, one may prefer the warm tonal quality and character that tubes provide or the crisp, clean sound of solid-state circuitry.)

Expand your existing ADAT interface with this Focusrite Clarett OctoPre mic preamp. The eight-channel design supports output during live performances while offering the ability to record audio, and the high-headroom inputs accommodate vocals and a variety of instruments. This Focusrite Clarett OctoPre mic preamp offers 192kHz sample rates for high-quality audio reproduction.

  • Eight-channel mic preamp: You can use it to extend the capabilities of your Clarett audio interface or any other interface fitted with ADAT optical inputs and outputs.
  • Eight Clarett mic preamps with extra air: Designed specifically for the Clarett range with plenty of gain yet low noise and distortion. They are Air enabled, so can reproduce the input impedance, clarity, and frequency response curve of the original ISA mic preamp.
  • Mic, line, and instrument inputs: The front panel includes dual instrument inputs featuring extra headroom to handle loud pickup, while the rear panel features universal XLR/jack connectors for the remaining auto-switching mic or line inputs.
  • Insert points: Each input has its own switched insert point for single-cable connection of compression, equalization, and other outboard analog processing - with hardwired relay bypass so you can leave outboard gear or a patch bay connected ready to access at a press of a button.
  • Eight outputs: The unit offers up to eight ADAT digital channels feeding 25-pin DSUB rear-panel analog outputs. The line outputs can optionally provide feeds from the mic preamps - useful for feeding a live console while recording the digital outputs.
  • Precision digital conversion: Clarett OctoPre's precision 24-bit converters operate at standard sample rates all the way up to 192kHz - ideal for high-resolution audio. Hear your recordings sound better than before.
