About Focusrite Red 8Pre 64-In/64-Out Thunderbolt 2, Pro

There's never been a better Focusrite audio interface range than the Red Range. The second member of this acclaimed new series, the Red 8Pre, features eight new 'Red Evolution' mic preamps with 'Air' transformer emulation, high-headroom instrument inputs, a new low-noise conversion design plus a grand total of 64 inputs and 64 outputs (including 16 analog inputs and 18 analog outputs). Red 8Pre incorporates dual Thunderbolt 2 ports for round-trip latency as low as 1.67ms, and direct connection to Pro Tools | HD systems. Add to that the ability to connect up to 32 additional inputs and outputs via Dante Ethernet-based audio networking, and you have one of the most advanced interfaces available today. The eight digitally-controlled mic pres deliver clear, honest audio performance with -129 dB EIN and 63dB of gain, and include Focusrite's unique ‘Air’ effect, authentically recreating the sound of the transformer-based preamps in the classic ISA range - ideal for bringing out the breathy quality of a vocal or adding presence to an acoustic guitar. Red 8Pre's new high-performance conversion system features 'parallel path summing', where two matched converters are run in parallel to increase the signal to noise ratio. Red 8Pre offers exceptional connectivity. Not only does the Red 8Pre deliver Thunderbolt 2 capability and the lowest round-trip latency, it also includes dual DigiLink connectors for direct connection to Pro Tools | HD systems and Avid interfaces. In addition, Dante Ethernet-based audio networking is built in.

With its extensive capabilities and beautiful yet robust design, the Red 8Pre represents the perfect balance of form and function, delivering the sound quality, transparency and versatility that audio professionals across the world expect from Focusrite.
