Focusrite AMS-SCARLETT-OCTOPRE-DYNA Scarlett OctoPre - Dynamic Mic Preamp

The Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic is an 8-channel microphone preamplifier and AD/DA converter designed to expand the input capacity of an existing recording setup. Each of its eight channels features a Focusrite Scarlett-series mic preamp with 48V phantom power, paired with a dedicated analog compressor that lets you tame dynamics at the source before the signal hits your DAW. This combination makes it particularly effective for tracking drums, ensemble recordings, or any session where you need more high-quality inputs than your primary interface provides.

Connectivity centers on ADAT optical I/O, which sends all eight channels digitally to a compatible interface at up to 48 kHz, with reduced channel counts at 96 and 192 kHz rates. For analog workflows, eight balanced line outputs on the rear panel allow direct connection to a mixing console or outboard gear. The front panel adds two instrument-level inputs for recording guitar or bass directly, and Word Clock I/O ensures tight synchronization in multi-device studio setups. The OctoPre Dynamic occupies a single rack unit and is built to serve as a long-term studio workhorse for engineers who need reliable, clean gain with practical dynamic control on every channel.
