Product information
Get classic Focusrite sound with fully analog Air circuit
Get closer to Focusrite 's roots with high-quality, relay-controlled analog circuitry in every preamp, replicating the classic Focusrite ISA 110 used in the original Focusrite Studio Console. When the Air function is switched on, the impedance is switched to 2.2 kΩ and two cumulative shelving filter are added for the treble, which together provide a 4 dB boost in the upper frequencies.

Record the most honest version of your sounds with Clarett+ mic preamps.
Get clean results with every shot. With a dynamic range of 118 dB and 129 dBu ON, the natural sound of the source signals is preserved. The fully symmetrical signal path ensures that incoming signals are interference-free and low-noise, giving your sessions that professional Focusrite sound .

Stay connected to each channel via the inserts
The eight dedicated inserts for the Clarett+ OctoPre's channels allow you to record through your favorite outboard devices and capture the true character . Thanks to our flexible insert design, you can easily integrate analog devices into the signal path.

Clean, accurate multitrack recordings with improved A/D converters
Multitrack with confidence and master every recording session. The A/D conversion of the Clarett+ OctoPre, combined with the powerful preamplifiers, offers extremely low noise and low distortion. This way you can achieve professional-sounding audio tracks that can be mixed straight away.

Maintain your own style with improved D/A converters
Thanks to the Clarett+ OctoPre's exceptional D/A conversion, audio engineers can easily edit their audio in their individual style while being confident that sound quality is maintained when routing the audio to analog compressors, equalizer and effects . Connect Clarett+ OctoPre to a Clarett+ 8Pre via the ADAT interfaces and transmit 16 channels to a mixer.

Premium quality audio via ADAT
