Focusrite ISA430MKII Channel Strip
Item: FCISA430MKII
The ISA 430 MkII represents the pinnacle of Focusrite’s analogue channel strip technology, bringing together all the classic designs in one comprehensive production tool. Augmented with additional features and ?avours, alongside unmatched internal routing and connectivity, the ISA 430 MkII enables today’s recording professional to enjoy the unique sonic contribution of these heritage designs within one extremely versatile processor. With the Producer Pack, Focusrite’s iconic status as the leading manufacturer of channel strips remains unrivalled.
From mic impedance switching and ‘mic air’ effect (a wire-wound inductor for increased spaciousness),to three compressor options (VCA,Vintage Opto and Opto Limit) combined with the compressed/uncompressed ‘Blend’ feature, the ISA430 MkII delivers a impressive variety of processing sounds.
Routing and monitoring ? exibility has also received a booster. The unique ‘Listen’ feature (allowing you to hone in on the frequency you wishto affect) is now available on compressor, gate, and expander circuits as well as the ISA 430 MkII’s unique phase cancellation-based de-essercircuit. In addition, monitoring and inserts are available at a variety of points along the signal chain. Finally, the ISA 430 MkII features an optional 24bit-192kHz high performance (123dB A-weighted with jitter below 20 pico seconds) stereo A-D converter, allowing you to retain every nuance of your analogue signal as you ? ow seamlessly into the digital domain.
