Description

Expand your studio with eight mic/line inputs, eight line outputs, Focusrite precision conversion up to 192 kHz AD/DA and analogue compression on every channel. The Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic builds on the features of the Scarlett OctoPre, adding analogue compression to all input channels and eight channels of precision D-A conversion. With dual ADAT optical I/O, its ideal for expanding a Scarlett 18i8 or 18i20 - or any interface with ADAT I/O. Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is the ideal way of adding eight extra mic/line inputs to your DAW. It also offers eight balanced line outputs, sourced directly from their respective mic preamps for use on stage in a live environment. Featuring eight channels of Focusrite's 2nd generation Scarlett preamps and a soft-knee VCA compressor on every channel. Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic lets you control the dynamics of all your input signals with an easy-to-use single-knob analogue compressor on every channel. There's a transparent mode for subtle compression plus a "More" button that doubles the ratio for compression with effect. In addition to the eight input channels, Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic includes eight line outputs, sourced either from the ADAT inputs for eight additional analogue outputs, or directly from the mic inputs for use in a live sound environment. Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is ideal for expanding any high quality, multi-channel recording system. With its high-headroom mic, line and dual instrument inputs and analogue compression, it's ideal for tracking drums as well guitars, keyboards, vocals and more. Meanwhile the eight outputs give you the option of expanding your analogue outputs over and above the Scarlett OctoPre.

  • Powerful 8-channel analog plugin
Style: Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic (8 Mic Pres)
It's the perfect complement for adding XRL inputs to a smaller board. In my case, I added the 8 channels to a Focusrite 18i8, and now I have a total of 12 balanced inputs plus 4 line inputs. If we take into account that the Octopre inputs also include an analog compressor per channel, the result is fantastic! ... show more

  • Buyer beware
Style: Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic (8 Mic Pres)
This came with two European power plugs and no USA ones. I'm guessing it's grey market. I have an extra cable I could use, but I wish the product description said that.

  • ADAT didn't work right
Style: Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic (8 Mic Pres)
I bought it primarily because it is supposed to convert 8 ADAT channels to 8 analog channels. This feature wouldn't work correctly on mine. I couldn't get more than 4 channels of ADAT in or out, using 48kHz. Everything else works fine, but the ASAT dysfunction was a huge disappointment,

  • ADAT doors broke off
Style: Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic (8 Mic Pres)
My damned ADAT doors broke off on the back...I barely touched them and the little doors just broke off. Ridiculously poor quality. Do not buy. This thing is useless to me now as it was my input expansion device. But now that I can't connect it via ADAT, it's an expensive paperweight. I'm pissed.
