OCTANE DESCRIPTION
 
Expand The Use of Your DAW!
The 8-channel Octane preamp from M-Audio is specifically designed to enhance the front end of any multitrack digital recording system. Its award-winning M-Audio preamp technology delivers pristine digital signals to any Lightpipe-compatible devices such as hard disk recorders and digital mixers. Octane is ideal for miking drum kits or bands-and the two mic/instrument channels are great for guitar, bass and other instruments. M-S matrix encoding found in the Octane lets you employ stereo miking techniques previously available only in pro studios. Octane even has M-Audio analog preamp (direct) outs for each channel, making it the perfect upgrade for any digital audio interface or mixer. Word clock also means that you can sync multiple Octanes for as many channels as you need as your studio grows.

“I did some research before I bought this unit to make sure I picked the right addition to my Digi002. I am very pleased with my purchase. When comparing recordings made with the Octane to ones I had done with the Digi002's pre's the Octane sounds much better. It has far more clarity and presense. It really shines when I record drums. I think this is a great unit, especially for the price. I would...” Read More
