The Focusrite ISA430 MK2 Microphone Pre Amp is a highly versatile rack pre-amp for use with virtually any microphone or instrument input.
The Focusrite ISA430 MK2 Producer Pack is a true do-all processor, with the ability to function as 4 separate elements – analogue mic pre-amp, EQ, Dynamics and stereo analogue to digital converter - all at the same time.
Expanding greatly on the original ISA 430, the ISA430 MKII boasts unmatched flexibility, both in terms of routing and sonic characteristics. It represents the pinnacle of Focusrite’s analogue channel strip technology, bringing together all the classic designs in one comprehensive production tool.
Due to its variable impedance, the pre-amp can accommodate almost any microphone. The impedance can be set for transparency, or to highlight certain characteristics of microphones.
The Focusrite’s EQ section is taken from the ISA 110 and offers two separate bands of parametric EQ for high and low frequencies. The traditionally-feeling compressor can be used to apply a large amount of compression without creating audible artefacts, and also includes auto release and blend controls for added flexibility.
The optional analogue to digital converter card adds two channels of 24-bit conversion and can be used as part of the pre-amp channel strip or entirely on its own.
Augmented with additional features and flavours, alongside unmatched internal routing and connectivity, the ISA 430 MK2 enables today’s recording professional to enjoy the unique sonic contribution of these heritage designs within one extremely versatile processor.
