Focusrite ISA One Desktop Microphone Preamp

<p>Featuring a rugged, portable all-metal enclosure, ISA One combines the classic Focusrite microphone preamp with a flexible, independent DI channel and optional 192kHz precision A-D conversion. At the heart of the ISA range is the microphone preamplifier with its Lundahl input transformer – essentially the same circuit, based on the original ISA 110, that has been used for 30 years in successive Focusrite designs. The input transformer imparts a special character to the sound that can't be truly emulated in any other way, while the modern twist of variable input impedance allows for a new degree of flexibility.</p><h3>Front Panel DI</h3><p>Whether you're an artist, engineer or producer, you'll appreciate the versatility of the ISA One, with its front-panel DI input. The DI includes low/high impedance switching and an amplifier output, and its own feed to the optional A-D converter and separate rear-panel XLR output.</p>

Key Features and Benefits:

• Flexible independent DI channel
  ISA One is ideal for both engineers and demanding performers alike, featuring independent gain control, an output for routing to an amp, an independent XLR output on the rear, and more.
• Switchable impedance
  Choose one of four carefully selected input impedances, including the original ISA110 setting, to suit any microphone.
• Headphone output with volume control
  ISA One can feed either a sum of the two input to the headphones output, or an external stereo cue mix (such as a stereo feed from an interface) via two TRS jack inputs on the rear of the unit.
• Input transformer
  The original mic transformer used in the original modules helps to provide the unique sound and performance of this groundbreaking design.
• Backlit VU meter with variable calibration
  ISA One has a moving coil VU meter with variable calibration to suit analog and digital recording media, alongside two six-LED peak meters; inputs can be metered either pre- or post-insert.
