Focusrite Octopre LE 8-Channel Mic Preamp description:
If you're looking to expand your current interface, you owe it to yourself to check out the OctoPre LE. With the optional 8-channel A-D/D-A ADAT converter installed, the OctoPre LE provides an almighty I/O expansion, finally making full use of your previously redundant ADAT ports.
Eight Focusrite world-class preamps, eight channels of 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion (with performance well beyond anything in their class), 2 Super Channels with quality DI and switchable impedance for a full sonic palette, as well as switchable dBFS peaklevel input metering for every channel. With everything controllable from the front fascia, you'll be recording and monitoring multiple channels in minutes.
OctoPre LE boasts eight preamps inspired by the award-winning Green range, exhibiting transparency and quality never before seen at this price point. All channels have Phantom Power and High Pass filters for controlling rumble, proximity effect and pop reduction, enabling OctoPre LE to handle any audio source with style and grace.
The first two channels provide the option of a low impedance setting. The Lo Z switch brings yet further sound options to your recording, allowing you to get more from your microphone and make the most of ribbon mics, which often require a low impedance preamp. Inputs
