FOCUSRITE OCTOPRE. Focusrite's Platinum series expands further with an unusually affordable eight-channel mic preamp boasting dynamics on every channel. Sam Inglis The market for affordable multi-channel soundcards seems to have exploded over the last couple of years. A couple of hundred pounds will now buy you eight channels' worth of pristine 24-bit hardware and leave change for the bus-ride home. Frustratingly, though, the situation is not so rosy when it comes to choosing a mic preamp to use with your new soundcard. There's any number of high-quality single-channel units available, while the likes of Mackie's VLZ Pro series of mixers include multiple preamps of excellent quality — but perversely, if you want eight decent preamps in a rack unit without faders and knobs, you're hard pushed to find anything under the thousand-pound mark.
The latest addition to Focusrite's Platinum series aims to improve matters for the computer-based musician who needs to record multiple sources without breaking the bank.

" here i listed the values just in case something happens and you need them. make sure all of the electro have their polarity correct or you could blow caps, which would suck. enjoy. Sound On Sound | Recording Techniques | Audio Technology | Music Production | Computer Music | Video Media.
