Product Description

The Solid State Logic PureDrive OCTO is an eight-channel outboard version of the SuperAnalogue PureDrive microphone preamp initially showcased in Solid State Logic's ORIGIN console. This unit not only faithfully translates the original preamp’s clarity and unique drive, but it also offers additional drive profiles and enhanced connectivity options for maximum versatility.

INSPIRED BY THE ORIGIN CONSOLE

Capable of both lifelike cleans and harmonically rich grit, the PureDrive preamp left an immediate impression when it first appeared in the SSL ORIGIN. The Pure Drive OCTO lets the preamp shine as its own unit, featuring eight mic channels equipped with sweepable Gain and Trim, independent 48V phantom power and high-pass filters, polarity inversion, and four input impedance options.

THREE UNIQUE TONE PROFILES

Explore a myriad of tonal possibilities using the Pure Drive OCTO’s three distinct drive settings. Clean mode captures your source with lifelike clarity and an ultra-low noise floor, while Classic Drive mode adds the analog warmth and distinct odd harmonics heard on the original preamp’s drive channel. Finally, Asymmetric Drive mode is a new tonal variation designed specifically for the SSL Pure Drive OCTO, emphasizing even harmonics in your signal for a smoother and fuller drive sound.

MADE FOR ANY SETUP

The Pure Drive OCTO supports a world of recording possibilities thanks to its comprehensive selection of I/O options. The unit’s rear-mounted combo XLR inputs, front-panel Hi-Z/DI instrument inputs, and D-sub connectors have all of your analog needs covered, while the integrated USB sound card, AES/EBU output pairs, ADAT out, and auto-ranging word clock ensure top-quality digital connections and expansions.

BUILT TO LAST
