Features
The 8pre has eight next-generation, high-performance preamps to capture clear
and powerful sounds with a preamp design that brings masses of headroom, low distortion and low
noise. New and improved high-performance A-D and D-A converters maintain the purity of analogue
and deliver extremely low noise and high dynamic range.
Vocals will shine with the All-analogue Air, its analogue circuitry emulating the classic Focusrite
ISA 110 preamp. J-FET instrument inputs offer dedicated, ultra-high-impedance, extremely wide
audio bandwidth, and mimic guitar amp inputs to preserve the natural tone of guitars.
The accompanying software application,
Focusrite Control
, is designed to let you easily configure the
8Pre with signal routings appropriate for most common recording tasks. For more complex
situations, it provides extensive routing and monitoring options, as well as the ability to control global
hardware settings such as sample rate and synchronisation. You can download
