Focusrite ISA 428 MKII Preamp

Four classic preamps with DIs
MFR# AMS-ISA428MK2

Product Description

The Focusrite 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 switchable input impedance, direct instrument inputs and space for 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.

The optional class-leading ISA828 eight-channel analogue to digital converter is also compatible with the ISA428 MkII. Along with the four mic preamp inputs, four additional inputs allow you to route other line signals through the converter. High quality Burr-Brown Pro Audio Amplifiers and flagship PCM4220 A-D converter chips seated within Focusrite custom analogue circuitry deliver unparalleled performance. Specifications include a dynamic range of 122dB and jitter performance below 250 picoseconds. The card can be retrofitted at any time. Thanks to its convenient 25-pin D-Type connector, it integrates seamlessly with Pro Tools HD, as well as other digital workstations and mixing desks.

Four Instrument inputs, instantly accessible on the front panel, allow quick and easy connection without the need for a separate DI box. Extra processing can be placed between preamp and conversion via the units dedicated insert points, featured on every channel. Finally, accurate six-segment LED metering is designed to catch even the fastest transients on every channel.

Over 25 years, Focusrite has earned a reputation for bringing superb audio quality and engineering excellence to an array of audio professionals.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
