Focusrite ISA One - Analogue Microphone Preamplifier

Focusrite ISA One - Analogue Microphone Preamplifier

82,181.00

At the heart of the ISA range is the microphone preamplifier with its Lundahl input transformer — essentially the same circuit, based on the original ISA110, that has been used for 30 years in successive Focusrite designs.

Product Description

The input transformer imparts a special character to the sound that can't be truly emulated in any other way: inseparable from the microphone itself, the transformer input stage is ideal for use with classic microphones. But this mic pre has a twist the original didn't have, which makes it far more versatile: four carefully-selected impedances allow you to match microphone to input in different ways. Bring out the character of a classic mic or emphasise a special feature, or go for a totally transparent, modern sound — it's up to you.Whether you're an artist, engineer or producer, you'll appreciate the versatility of the ISA One, with its front-panel DI input. The DI includes low/high impedance switching and an amplifier output, and its own feed to the optional A/D converter and separate rear-panel XLR output.
  • ISA series transformer-based preamplifier.
  • Flexible independent DI channel.
  • Switchable impedance.
  • Optional stereo 192kHz A-D converterLundahl LL1538 Input Transformer.
