This is the limitation with multi prampli I Focusrite about in 1999 ...
Now it's out (of course not only because of my request). So you understand my joy (and my dception - see below).
In principle the multi prampli IDAL to accompany a magntophone numrique or a system that multitrack recording to hard disk.
The analog outputs are symmetric in the form of an RS 232 compatible with the Tascam DA38/88/78.
Numriques optional converters.
Extremely compact (a single height unit 19pouce)
UTILIZATION
Very easy to use with analog connection (or if synchronization numrique works ...)
Very easy and quick installation with only one cable for all channels (especially with Tascam DA 38/88/78/98).
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is good, including the limiter, the compressor (one paramtre) a little less (at least for my applications).
No staining, trs transparent (except for the noise modulation, see below)
Warning: built-in fan makes a noise sound + / - as a Tascam DA 38.
The limiter works quite well and protects against the magntophone of overmodulation.
OVERALL OPINION
The first model test was - from an amplification (gain) 40 dB - the sound of modulation across all channels SETTING THE dpendaient of all custom settings - trs weird and unusable.
The deuxime MODEL silent in order except that the channel No. 7 Submitted a problem between the.
(One wonders a little if it is the customer who makes the quality of CONTRL Focusrite.)
Background noise ratio between the (EIN) of this model n'tait not exceptional but acceptable: 0.25 microvolts (to compare: Mackie 1402 VLZ: 0.15 microvolts, Behringer MX2004A: 0 , 14 microvolts) Indicated enough background noise of my condenser microphone Gefell M930 Neumann TLM103 and which is not the case with the Presonus Digimax which the background noise (EIN 3.0 microvolts!) is to unitilisable of classical music recordings distance thrown.
So if a troisime OctoPre silent without default, I may be Achteras ...
Obviously: Focusrite should not s'arrter amliorer product that has tremendous potential!
And for you: try and measure your OctoPre thoroughly before paying ...
