Description

The ISA428 MkII provides four of Focusrite's prestigious transformer-based microphone preamps. It features the same classic circuitry and renowned audio quality found in the original at a new level of affordability. With selectable input impedance, direct instrument inputs and an optional eight channels of high-quality analogue to digital conversion, the ISA428 MkII creates the perfect front end for the discerning recording professional.

First introduced in 1985, the ISA microphone preamp holds a reputation for outstanding transparency along with subtle warmth contributed by transformer core saturation. The addition of a variable impedance circuit allows ISA users to perfectly match the preamp with any microphone, or to use different settings creatively to shape the sound of the microphone. Unchanged for decades, the ISA microphone preamp topology offers incredible clarity and the signature Focusrite sound that makes it the top choice among many audio professionals today.

Features:

  • Four ISA series transformer-based preamps
  • Eight-channel optional A-D converter
  • Selectable impedance
  • Four front panel instrument inputs
  • Dedicated analogue insert points
  • Variable high-pass Focusrite filter
  • Accurate LED meters for every channel
