Focusrite Control 2802 is a small-format analog recording console and a DAW control surface in one. It forms both the digital control nerve center and the analog heart of the modern professional project studio, allowing you to control every major digital audio workstation. With an array of superb-quality analog features packed into its compact frame, Focusrite Control 2802 includes capabilities you would expect to find only on large-format consoles. Eight Class-A microphone preamps deliver clear, transparent performance. Then at its heart is a powerful summing mixer handling up to 32 simultaneous inputs with ultra-low distortion, excellent dynamic range, and a frequency response wider than the human ear. There's a punchy master bus compressor featuring parallel compression for versatile control of dynamics for your stereo mix - or any other pair of channels. High-end analog design characterizes the 2802, implemented with similarly uncompromised components and build quality throughout. Dual Layer Control Technology lets you flip from analog fader layer to DAW layer in an instant, accessing fully integrated control of DAW faders, auxes, plug-ins, automation, project navigation, and more. With Ethernet-based control, your favorite music software is always at your fingertips. The Control 2802's motorized 100mm analog and DAW control faders can both be fully automated. Easily adjust DAW channel auxes, inserts and groups within Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase and Nuendo via a HUI interface. Four multi-function encoders give you precise control while OLED screens provide detailed information on mix elements. Combined with dedicated transport controls, that means more time to get your sound just right. In the box are the Focusrite Midnight and Forte plug-in suites, allowing you to add compression and EQ to take your mix to the next level. Of course the plug-ins can be controlled and assigned to channels from the comfort and convenience of the Control 2802.
