PLATINUM OCTOPRE
Providing eight pristine discrete channels of Focusrite Class A mic pre and compression,
OctoPre routes directly to any digital audio workstation via eight standard analogue outputs,
or via a choice of two optional 24-bit, 96kHz A/D converters (see below for details). The new
OctoPre offers the unique qualities associated with the Focusrite name at an affordable price.
Each channel features a revolutionary compressor/limiter circuit, providing a warm-sounding
compressor, which morphs into a brick wall limiter to avoid those critical overs, ensuring total
control over all eight channels.
The mic pres featured in OctoPre are the same as those featured elsewhere in the award
winning Focusrite Platinum range. They are a transistor-based Class A design utilising the
same full-bandwidth philosophy as the legendary Red and ISA mic pres, ensuring detail and
clarity without colouration. The first two 'super channels' also feature phase reverse, as well
as TRS jack inputs on the front fascia for quick and easy, DI-free instrument plug-in.
Eight line level balanced (+4 dBu) analogue inputs and outputs are provided as standard via
25-pin D-type connectors. These D-type connectors may be routed to 8 XLRs by means of
an 8-way 25-pin D-type to 8 XLR breakout cable, available separately. In addition to the analogue
outputs, the OctoPre can be fitted with one of the following two digital output options:
24-bit/96 kHz ADAT? interface card
This card provides digital outputs for all eight OctoPre channels, which operate over the full
sample frequency range (44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz) and can be dithered to 16-, 20-, or 24-bit
depths depending upon the destination. External word clock synchronisation is possible
using the rear panel BNC connector. The card features two ADAT?-type lightpipe output
connectors. For speeds up to 48KHz both connectors transmit all 8 channels simultaneously.
However, ADAT?-type connectors are bandwidth limited at sample rates above 48 kHz - each
audio channel uses two ADAT? digital channels to accommodate the increased quantity of data,
hence the need for two ADAT? connectors to allow 8 channels of conversion at high speed.
24-bit/96 kHz AES/SPDIF/ADAT? interface card
This card contains exactly the same ADAT?-type digital output facilities as described above,
with the addition of AES and SPDIF format outputs via a 9-pin D-type connector on the rear
panel. As with the ADAT?-type outputs, the full range of sample rates and bit depths are
available, and the converter may be synchronised to an external word clock source if required.
To access the digital signals from the 9-pin D-type AES/SPDIF output connector the A/D card
must be purchased with either an AES or SPDIF D-Type conversion cable, available separately.
Either 8 AES or 8 SPDIF outputs can be used simultaneously with 8 ADAT? outputs and the
OctoPre?s analogue outputs.
With Class A Focusrite processing and almost all the interface options known to man, the
Platinum Octopre is the perfect partner for any Pro Tools system or any other digital audio
workstation, making high quality, multi-channel recording easy. Equally it could be utilised
as an instant location recording solution, or as an additional set of mic pres for any analogue
or digital console, or hard disk recorder.
Please note: The power supply featured in OctoPre is not a switching power supply. Consequently,
120v OctoPres are not suitable for use in 220-240v territories, and vice versa.

The PRE-73 Mk2 is the first one-channel low-cost preamp on the market that is using a fully discrete signal path with three separate transformers for the balanced mic input, the line input and the output.
The circuit is very similar to the classical preamp section of the Neve 1073 pre/eq module with a corresponding sound character that is warm, punchy, sweet and musical.
This classical sound has been heard on countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most sound sources and in most genres.
The PRE-73 Mk2 has a maximum gain of 80 dB on the mic input and the gain range on the Line input is -20 to + 10 dB. There is also a high-impedance instrument input.
The PRE-73 Mk2 is perfect for almost any signal source, no matter if it's a microphone with a high or low sensitivity (like a passive ribbon mic), a syntheziser or sound module or an electric guitar or bass.
The input impedance of the microphone input can be switched between 300 and 1200 ohms, which makes it possible to affect the tone of most microphones. There is also phase switch and an simple 4-step LED signal level meter.
The output level control makes it possible to make fine gain adjustments and also to overload the main gain stage for more character and then lower the signal to a suitable level before the output stage.
The Mk2 update consists of:
- An unbalanced insert jack (nominal level about 18 dBu) added on the back panel for inserting units like the coming GAP EQ-73, a three band eq.
- LED meter levels adjusted.
- 600 Ohm termination resistor and jumper added to power supply board (accessible from the inside of the unit).
- Revised Gain switch, turning the know clockwise now increase the gain.
- Reduced noise at high gains by a change to the power supply grounding scheme. |
The PreSonus HP60 is the most flexible and advanced headphone amplifier system available for professional and project recording studios as well as live sound in-ear monitoring systems. Loaded with six independent,
loud and clear headphone amplifiers, the HP60 features dual stereo inputs as well as external input, for each
channel allowing you to mix between three stereo audio streams (mix A, mix B, and external input). Stereo output is also available on each channel to send line level headphone channel mixes to additional headphone amplifiers or monitor systems. Each channel features headphone level, mix control between A and B inputs, external input volume, mute and mono. The HP60 also features talkback via external XLR microphone input. Common set up of the HP60 in a recording session is to send the main control room mix to input A. Send the click track to input B. Send the each band member direct recording input to each channelʼs external input (more me). This will allow each band member to create a mix between the main mix, the click track and themselves. The HP60 is the ultimate headphone amplification system delivering loud and clear headphone mixes for real-world recording situations.
Features:
-Six independent ultra low noise, high output headphone amplifiers (150 mW per channel)
-Two sets of stereo inputs (A and B) with balanced TRS connectors
-Stereo external input point on each channel for "more me” with trim control
-Mix control between inputs A and B
-Talkback with external XLR microphone with control
-Direct stereo line output on each channel
