Expand your system's recording capability with the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre, a slim 1 RU rackmount device laden with eight Scarlett microphone preamps and onboard high-resolution AD converters—a perfect addition to any home/project studio, live sound mixing console, or mobile recording rig that has available ADAT digital inputs or unused analog line inputs.

All eight XLR-1/4" combo inputs can accept mic- or line-level signal, and the front-panel input jacks can also accommodate the 1/4" outputs of instruments, letting you plug a guitar or a bass straight into the Scarlett OctoPre. Pads on every channel allow you to capture the sound of high-level sound sources such as drums and cranked guitar amps, and 48V phantom power can be instantiated in two 4-channel banks to run condenser microphones and active DI boxes.

These features, combined with the wordclock sync I/O and 5-segment LED metering, render the unit quite suitable for use in the studio. But that's only one of its intended uses: the Scarlett OctoPre also operates well in live sound environments, providing eight additional preamps for the stage, all feeding their respective line outputs, so they can feed a multitude of mixers, consoles, and PAs. You can even route the line outputs to a console while simultaneously recording digitally via the ADAT outputs.

Eight Scarlett Mic Preamps

The Scarlett OctoPre is outfitted with eight natural-sounding Scarlett microphone preamps on XLR-1/4" TRS combo jacks. All eight inputs can accept mic- or line-level signal; the first two inputs (located on the front panel) can also accept Hi-Z signal from instruments thanks to Hi-Z switches. The +48V phantom power is selectable per 4-channel bank (for channels 1-4 and 5-8), allowing the Scarlett OctoPre to handle dynamic or condenser microphones.

Onboard High-Resolution A/D Converters

All inputs on the Scarlett OctoPro are running through Focusrite precision 24-bit conversion at up to 192 kHz resolution with 109 dB dynamic range. Dual TOSLINK optical ADAT outputs support eight channels at up to 96 kHz or four channels at 176.4/192 kHz.

Input Pads

With high-headroom inputs and a pad (-8 dB) on every channel, the Scarlett OctoPre is ideal for tracking drums as well guitars, keyboards, vocals, and more.

Balanced Line Outputs

Eight balanced line-level outputs, sourced directly from the inputs, allow the Scarlett OctoPre to be used in a live situation whilst capturing the recording via the digital ADAT output.

Wordclock I/O

The rear panel offers BNC jacks for wordclock input and output, enabling proper synchronization with other digital equipment such as a mixing console or an audio interface.

Multi-Segment Input Metering

Clustered together for visual convenience, 5-segment meters show your input levels for all channels at a glance.
