Focusrite OctoPre MkII Dynamic

We always quote 'real world' performance figures (measured to the AES17 standard). Some companies choose to quote chipset performance, which is misleading, and here's why.

• 2x Mic / Line / Instrument inputs on the rear panel (Inputs 1 and 2). Switches automatically between Mic (XLR) and Line (TRS). Instrument selected via front panel buttons.
• 6x Mic / Line inputs on the rear panel. Switches automatically between Mic (XLR) and Line (TRS).

• 8x Balanced 1/4" TRS Jack on the rear panel
• Switching to enable monitoring of A/D inputs or ADAT inputs with ADDA switch on front panel.

• 2x ADAT Lightpipe (TOSLINK) inputs. Provides 8 channels at 44.1 and 48kHz (please note that in this mode, only ADAT input 1 is active, allowing for a total of 8 ADAT input channels at 44.1 / 48kHz). Provide 4 channels per port (8 total) at 88.2 and 96kHz (S-MUX).
