Focusrite is dedicated to bringing you the tools you need to enhance the way you work. Our products are made with pride and principle by engineers who themselves are musicians and understand the part our products play in your process. Focusrite's most affordable ISA pre-amplifier now has a digital card as standard. The ISA One Digital is now perfect for getting the legendarily transparent Focusrite sound directly into your recording system. In addition to the ISA mic-preamp, ISA One Digital also has a direct input. This means that you can record an instrument and microphone simultaneously. This makes it ideal for recording singer songwriters, allowing you to track vocals and guitar at the same time. Or, the tried and tested technique of mic-ing up an guitar/bass amp cabinet and taking a direct out at the same time. Like the original ISA One, the Digital version has Focusrite's classic transformer-based circuitry used in the legendary Forte Console. The unit also features a headphone output with a stereo cue mix input so you can monitor signals from your DAW - and comprehensive metering provides accurate visual feedback. The ADC board, which was previously an optional extra for the analogue-only ISA One, provides AES/EBU, S/PDIF and SMUX-compliant optical outputs for the unit, with the preamp and DI signals streamed separately over the two channels of the digital connection. With studio-grade A-D conversion and jitter-elimination technology, and an impressive 118dB dynamic range, this direct digital link bypasses the analogue circuitry and converters in your existing audio interface, providing a high-end signal path straight into any music-recording software, including Pro Tools, Logic, Nuendo and Sonar. At Focusrite our focus on quality is all-consuming. All of our products are easy to use, logically designed, and give years of class-leading, top-notch performance.
