INTRODUCTION
The OctoPre is an eight channel Class A microphone preamplier, featuring a classic
Focusrite mic pre and a revolutionary compressor/limiter circuit on each channel. As
well as eight analogue outputs, there is a choice of two optional 8-channel, 24 bit / 96
kHz A/D boards for connection to any digital audio workstation or digital console.
The mic pres featured in the OctoPre are similar to 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 Focusrite Red and ISA
mic pres, ensuring detail and organic clarity without obvious colouration.
The revolutionary compressor/limiter circuit provides each channel with warm-
sounding compression, which morphs into brick wall limiting to avoid critical ‘overs’
when recording digitally.
The rst two channels also feature phase reverse, as well as unbalanced 1/4” jack inputs
on the front fascia for quick and easy, DI-free plug-in of guitars and basses.
With Class A Focusrite analogue signal processing and comprehensive A/D interface
options, OctoPre is the perfect partner for a Pro Tools™ system or any other digital
audio workstation, making high quality, multi-channel recording easy. Equally, it
could be utilised as part of a compact multi-channel location recording solution (with a
laptop or ADAT™, for example), or as an additional set of professional-quality mic
pres for any analogue or digital console or hard disk recorder.
REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS
The OctoPre features eight microphone inputs on rear-panel XLR connectors.
Channels 1 and 2 each feature an unbalanced 1/4” jack instrument input on the front
fascia. Eight line level balanced (+4 dBu) analogue inputs and outputs are provided 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 from your local dealer, or in the UK from
Studiospares (tel +44 (0)20 7482 1692):
Line output – stock number 573-610
Line input – stock number 573-630
Hosa manufacture suitable cables as follows:
Line output – DTM 805
Line input – DTF 805
The pin-out of the 25-pin D-type connectors follows the typical ‘TDIF’ format. For
details of the digital output options, please see the ‘Digital Output Options’ section on
page 6.
