Extend your DAW recording capabilities and improve sound quality with the Octopre MKII dynamic. 8 Award winning mic pre-amps with fully balanced TRS/XLR combo inputs are combined with 8, Red-3 derived single control compressors for the ultimate in quality and control over your input source.
Focusrite have loaded the Octopre MKII dynamic with a mass of options for linking, monitoring and expanding your audio capabilities. 8 balanced TRS outputs allow direct monitoring of the input signals or ADAT inputs with ADDA switch on the front panel. The ADAT link allows connection to many external device for digital input and output connection. ADAT link can link directly into another focusrite ADAT capable interface such as the Pro 24 DSP so you can integrate the extra Octopre MKII Dynamic inputs directly into your existing system for huge multi-track recording capabilities!
The Red-3 based compressors have a single dial for each input on the front panel for fast and easy access. This makes it perfect for many set-ups such as recording drums. Cymbals and drum hits can often be 'Peaky' and overdriving when not wanted and these high quality compressors will help keep your input signals under control so you can get the very best recorded signal level without loss of quality.
The Octopre MKII Dynamic is capable of 24bit / 96kHz recording. This high quality rate means you can play and modify your audio within your DAW system without loosing vital tone and quality for your final mix.
