Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic - 8-channel preamplifier, 24-bit/192 kHz A-D/D-A conversion with analog compressor, built on the features of the Scarlett OctoPre, the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic offers analog compression on each channel input, musically similar to soft-knee compression for more subtle dynamic control. The 'More' button allows you to double the compression ratio for a much more aggressive sound.
The 8 precision A-D channels will capture sound with great clarity, honesty, and transparency, through the ADAT input found on the interface, 8 D-A channels will re-send the signal through the balanced line outputs. With dual ADAT optical inputs and outputs, it is ideal for expanding your studio's input/output count.
It offers 2 high-headroom instrument inputs, specially designed for high-output guitar pickups or any Hi-z signal. These inputs are ideal for recording guitars, drums, keys, vocals, etc. Add a bit of compression to better control the dynamics of your guitar or bass sound.
It is the ideal solution for recording the entire band, thanks to the ability to record high-quality multi-channel. With high-headroom microphone input and dual instrument inputs, and analog compression on each channel.
Expand your studio outputs. The 8 analog outputs can be routed either directly from the microphone preamps for live use, or via the ADAT inputs to benefit from an additional 8 analog outputs from your DAW software.
ADAT is a simple and easy way to expand analog inputs. It uses light-pipe optical cables to carry audio signals of up to 8 channels. You just need to connect the ADAT output from the OctoPre to the ADAT input of your interface, set the sample rate and clock source. Most interfaces offer ADAT inputs.
