The Scarlett OctoPre brings professional-grade recording capabilities to your studio with eight pristine 2nd Generation Scarlett mic inputs that double as balanced line inputs. Each channel runs through Focusrite's precision 24-bit conversion at up to 192 kHz resolution, boasting an impressive 109dB dynamic range. Two high-headroom instrument inputs are conveniently positioned on the front panel, ready to handle even the hottest guitar pickup outputs without breaking a sweat.
What sets the OctoPre apart is its versatility in both studio and live applications. The eight balanced line outputs source directly from the inputs, allowing you to capture your recording via the digital ADAT output while simultaneously using the unit in live situations. ADAT connectivity makes expanding your analogue inputs straightforward and affordable - simply connect the OctoPre's ADAT output to your interface's ADAT input using inexpensive optical cables, set your sample rate and clock source, and you're ready to record up to eight additional channels.
Every OctoPre purchase includes access to the comprehensive Hitmaker Expansion 3.0 software bundle. This impressive collection now features the legendary Native Instruments® MASSIVE synthesizer alongside FAST Balancer, an AI-powered plugin that instantly improves busy mixes with intuitive controls. The Hitmaker Expansion bundle is included with all Scarlett 3rd Gen, Clarett+ and Red interfaces purchased and registered on or after October 1st 2021.
