Designed principally as an affordable, high-specification dual mono/stereo tracking device, TwinTrak Pro also boasts comprehensive latency-free monitoring, unmatched digital connectivity, and all within a sturdy 2U 19" rack-mount chassis.

Each channel features Focusrite's award-winning Platinum pre amp, embellished with the option of instant 'air' and variable input impedance for improved microphone performance and extended creativity. A mid-scoop EQ follows, and provides variable frequency and depth of cut for vocal problem solving and miked-up cabinet ambience

In pride of place is TwinTrak Pro's powerful dual mono/stereo optical compressor. This optical compressor features Focusrite's custom fast-acting optos, alongside side-chain inputs and the ability to operate as a true 'twinned' stereo pair. These circuit design innovations are complemented by a comprehensive set of focussed controls.

TwinTrak Pro is the first Platinum to feature a D/A converter as standard, alongside its optional analogue to digital converter. The D/A converter enables the user to feed mono or stereo digital signals into TwinTrak Pro. These signals can be fed either into the stereo latency-free monitoring section, or via line inputs (post- the pre amp stage) for further processing. The signal can then return to the digital audio workstation via Focusrite's established stereo A/D converter option.

Together, these facilities make TwinTrak Pro the perfect analogue interface for any digital audio workstation, and equally the world's first 'hardware plug-in'.

Features:

• 2 award-winning Class A discrete transistor-based pre amps
• Dual mono/stereo optical compressor, featuring custom fast-acting optos
• Latency free monitoring with total control over balance, effects, mix and monitor levels
• 24 bit/192 kHz D/A fitted as standard, for processing digital signals or feeding digital signals into the monitoring path
• An optional 24 bit/96kHz A/D. Both the A/D and the D/A feature wordclock (BNC)
• Inductor-induced "Air" opens up high frequencies like an expensive transformer-balanced pre amp
• Variable impedance for improved microphone performance and extended creativity
• Mid scoop EQ for correcting problematic mid frequencies
• Direct inputs on the front fascia for both instruments (Jack) and microphones (XLR)
• Post pre amp inserts and compressor side-chain inserts, for enhanced processing flexibility
• 2 ocean blue peak-reading meters, innately beautiful and ideal for catching fast transients

• Why do I need a Microphone Preamp?

  A condenser microphone works by actually converting sound energy into an electrical voltage, but this voltage is much lower than the voltage coming out of your keyboard or other line level sources
