OctoPre
Eight channels of award-winning pre-amplifi cation and dynamics control
OctoPre provides eight channels of award-winning pre-amplifi cation and dynamics control, as well as two eight channel
24 bit, 96 kHz A-D converter options, all in a 1U chassis.
Each channel boasts the award-winning Class A pre-amp featured in VoiceMaster PRO, alongside a revolutionary dynamics
circuit. Starting with a brick-wall limiter (to avoid critical overs), the rotary control then allows you to add increasing amounts
of compression.The dynamics control also introduces an automatic make-up gain, balancing the post-compression level
change. Only one dial, but all the control, providing the quickest route to a warm, controlled, yet entirely musical signal.
The fi rst two 'Super channels' also feature phase reverse, as well as TRS Jack inputs on the front fascia for quick and easy,
DI-free plug-in.
Up to 24 digital outputs* can run simultaneously with any mix of analogue outputs, and all the settings are adjustable,
directly from the front fascia.
