Focusrite OctoPre MkII

Focusrite’s OctoPre MkII is specifically designed to augment its range of Saffire interfaces. Mark Cousins gets connected.

Price: £329.00
Manufacturer: Focusrite
Website: http://www.focusrite.com

One of the principal reasons for the impressive I/O count of Focusrite’s recent FireWire-based Saffire interfaces is the inclusion of an ADAT optical connector, which enables you to augment the interface’s existing preamp count using an eight-channel OctoPre fitted with an ADAT optical card.

Score: 8
