Two high-headroom, dual instrument inputs handle high output signals from guitars and basses and are easily accessed on the front panel. The high-headroom inputs alongside a pad on each channel, the Scarlett OctoPre is perfect for drum tracking, keyboards, vocals and so much more.
Eight balanced line outputs can be sourced directly from the inputs and allow the OctoPre to be used in a live situation while capturing the recording via the digital ADAT output. ADAT is an easy way of expanding your analogue inputs and uses inexpensive “light-pipe” cables to carry up to eight channels of audio. Simply connect the ADAT output on the OctoPre to the ADAT input on your audio interface, set your clock source and sample rate and you’re ready to get recording. ADAT inputs are available on a whole host of Focusrite and third-party interfaces.
