Focusrite OctoPre Platinum

MICROPHONE Pre Amplifier, Focusrite OctoPre Platinum — Product Description
The Focusrite OctoPre Platinum is an 8‑channel Class A microphone preamp designed for professional studio and live recording environments, offering high‑quality, transparent audio capture with built‑in dynamics control
Key Features
8 channels of award‑winning Focusrite Class A mic preamps, delivering clean, transparent sound similar to the Red and ISA series
Compressor/limiter on each channel — functions as a variable compressor or a brick‑wall limiter when set to +20 dBu, protecting recordings from distortion
Balanced mic and line inputs (TRS jacks on channels 1 & 2) plus XLR mic inputs; phantom power +48 V for condenser mics
Phase reverse and high‑pass filter per channel
Optional 24‑bit/96 kHz digital I/O via ADAT, S/PDIF, or AES outputs; supports 16, 20, and 24‑bit conversion at 44.1–96 kHz
Word clock input for external sync; line in/out via 25‑pin D‑sub connectors
Robust 1U chassis with front‑panel gain knobs (0–60 dB) and intuitive controls

Design & Performance
The OctoPre Platinum uses a transistor‑based Class A preamp design (737 Rhom) with extended bandwidth (up to ~180 kHz) for a natural, forgiving character
It is well‑suited for users who like to drive the preamp hard, though it introduces a small amount of second‑order harmonic distortion when overdriven
Typical Use Cases
Expanding a studio setup with 8 additional high‑quality inputs.
Recording vocals, instruments, and line sources with built‑in dynamics control.
Integrating with Pro Tools or other DAWs via balanced analog or optional digital outputs
Suitable for live sound and location recording when paired with an optional digital converter card
In summary: The Focusrite OctoPre Platinum is a versatile, feature‑rich 8‑channel preamp that blends professional‑grade sound with practical controls, making it a strong choice for both studio and live application
