Focusrite Octopre dynamic 8-channel preamp

The Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic adds eight mic/line inputs, eight balanced line outputs, and Focusrite’s precision AD/DA conversion up to 192 kHz, all with built-in analogue compression on every channel.

Building on the Scarlett OctoPre, it features soft-knee VCA compression with a simple one-knob control per channel, offering transparent dynamics or a "More" button for extra punch. Dual ADAT I/O makes it perfect for expanding a Scarlett 18i8, 18i20, or any interface with ADAT.

With eight 2nd-gen Scarlett preamps, optimized headroom, front-panel instrument inputs, and flexible routing options, it’s ideal for tracking everything from drums and guitars to vocals and keys—whether in the studio or live.
