I love this Mic Preamp. Tracking my live drums through this is a life saver. I achieved professional recording quality with clean headroom. I recommend this preamp for everyone who is recording semi pro or pro.

The best decision I made! It gave me more room for my drum and my mics. The tone and the clean sound it gives was a major related that I needed when recording. Thank you so much American Musical Supply, definitely will order from you again!

Easy to use! Note, if you don't already have an interface that feeds as an audio engine, this unit will not work as one.

The octopre does exactly what you expect it to do, simple and easy. You connect it to your interface with an optical cable, turn it on, and switch your interface clock to adat. That’s it, you have 8 extra quiet, transparent inputs to record with.

Not a bad investment if you need 8 more lines. I use this w my 18i20 and couldnt be happier. Only thing I would change would be to make it match the 18i20 a lil better colorwise in my rack

8 channels with high SPLs and quality preamps
By: Howard

Product Review
The Octo-Pre, combined with my Scarlett 18i20, gives me 16 channels with XLR ins for all 16 channels at a combined price of $800. Audio clarity is pristine, and the customer service is good. When I first bought the 18i20, had a problem with digital artifacts related to clocking settings, and I contacted Focusrite’s customer service and within three days, was sent a link to a driver that solved the problem. They also sent follow-up emails to make sure my issue was resolved. This is one of the best interfaces out there for the money. You can’t beat it, and the preamps are designed to handle high volume, so it’s perfect for recording a drum set, which is why I bought it.

I used the Presonus pre amps and they both had issues so I decided to try the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre and was blown away! So I bought two of them for my HD recording set up, live drums sound very professional with these preamps! “ AGreat buy!
