Scarlett OctoPre features eight 2nd Generation Scarlett mic inputs - balanced line inputs too - all running through Focusrite precision 24-bit conversion at up to 192 kHz resolution with 109dB dynamic range. Two high-headroom instrument inputs will handle high output guitar pickups and are right there on the front panel for easy access.
Eight balanced line outputs, sourced directly from the inputs allow Scarlett OctoPre to be used in a live situation whilst capturing the recording via the digital ADAT output. ADAT is a simple and easy way of expanding your analogue inputs. ADAT uses inexpensive "light-pipe" optical cables to carry up to eight channels of audio. Just connect the ADAT output on the OctoPre to the ADAT input on your interface, set your sample rate and clock source and you're ready to go. ADAT input is available on many Focusrite and third-party interfaces.
Hitmaker Expansion 3.0: In addition to the already impressive Hitmaker Expansion bundle, the latest update now includes the legendary Native Instruments® MASSIVE. Also joining the Hitmaker Expansion bundle is FAST Balancer. This popular plugin uses powerful AI to instantly improve a busy mix, with simple but effective controls. Hitmaker Expansion is included with all Scarlett 3rd Gen, Clarett+ and Red interfaces purchased and registered on or after October 1st 2021.
