FOCUSRITE CLARETT-OCTOPRE+ OCTOPRE - Clarett+ Octopre

When Air mode is activated, impedance increases to 2.2 kΩ and two cumulative high shelves boost high frequencies by a total of 4 dB.

Capture the purest version of your sound with the Clarett+ mic preamp
Get crystal-clear recordings, session after session.
With a dynamic range of 118 dB and an equivalent noise level (EIN) of 129 dBu, the integrity of source signals is preserved.
The fully balanced signal path ensures perfectly clean incoming signals with minimal noise - so you get Focusrite's professional studio sound in every recording session.

Inserts on every channel
The eight dedicated inserts on the Clarett+ OctoPre allow you to record through your favorite external processors and capture all the character.
Easily add analog gear to the signal path with our flexible insert design.

Accurate multitracking with optimized A/D converters
Record multiple sources simultaneously with confidence and handle any recording session, no matter how large or small.
With ultra-low noise and distortion levels, the Clarett+ OctoPre's A/D converter, combined with the powerful preamps, will give you professional-quality, mix-ready takes.

Preserve your style with the enhanced D/A converters
The exceptional D/A converter that comes with the Clarett+ OctoPre makes it easy for audio engineers to process takes with their own stylish touch. Connect the Clarett+ OctoPre to a Clarett+ 8Pre via ADAT and send 16 channels to a mixing console.

The best sound quality in ADAT
Add the Clarett+ OctoPre to a 2Pre, 4Pre or 8Pre via ADAT and enjoy more I/O with ease.
Those who don't use a Clarett+ can upgrade their setup and enjoy Focusrite's classic professional sound by connecting the preamp to an ADAT-compatible interface.
This way they will benefit from the superior quality offered by the Clarett+ OctoPre.
