Product Fundamentals
- Classic ISA mic preamp design The Focusrite ISA828 Mk II is equipped with eight high-quality microphone preamps each featuring the iconic Lundahl LL1538 input transformer. This renowned design ensures exceptional audio performance providing a unique character to the sound that cannot be replicated in any other way. The variable input impedance allows for added flexibility offering a range of sonic options when using different microphones. With the option to switch to the ISA 110 setting you can replicate the impedance of the original Focusrite mic pre further enhancing your recordings. Up to 80dB gain with precision trim control With the ISA828 Mk II you have an impressive amount of gain at your fingertips. Each mic preamp offers up to 60dB of gain and an additional +20dB of continuously variable trim giving you a total gain range of 80dB. This allows you to capture even the most quiet or delicate sound sources with clarity and precision. Whether its a soft-spoken vocalist or a subtle acoustic guitar the ISA828 Mk II ensures you never miss a detail. Vintage-style high-pass filter The ISA828 Mk II features a high-pass filter with a fixed frequency of 75Hz and an 18dB/octave roll-off. This handy feature minimizes unwanted low-frequency rumble stand-borne noise and other low-frequency sounds ensuring your recordings sound clean and professional. By effectively eliminating these unwanted frequencies you can focus on capturing the true essence of your source material without any unwanted artifacts. Switchable insert points for flexible connectivity For added convenience and flexibility the ISA828 Mk II offers switchable rear-panel insert points. This allows you to use inline processors such as compressors or EQs directly with the preamp. By integrating your favorite outboard gear into your signal chain you can shape and enhance your recordings with precision. This feature is particularly valuable for professional studio setups where precise signal routing and processing control are essential.
