Two Focusrite Channels plus 24-Bit D/A Conversion!

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

Each channel of the TwinTrak Pro features Focusrite's award-winning Platinum preamp, 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.

A Focusrite favorite 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 on the TwinTrak Pro by a comprehensive set of focussed controls.

TwinTrak Pro is the first Platinum Series processor 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 (after the preamp 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 analog interface for any digital audio workstation, and equally one of the world's finest "hardware plug-in".


Focusrite TwinTrak Pro Features:
  • 2 award-winning Class A discrete transistor-based preamps
  • 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 Word Clock (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 panel for both instruments (jack) and microphones (XLR)
  • Post preamp inserts and compressor sidechain inserts, for enhanced processing flexibility
  • 2 ocean blue peak-reading meters, ideal for catching fast transients

Sweetwater Advice

Greg Baum
What a versatile box! If I'm tracking vocals or guitars I can compress and limit, the mic pres sound big, open and clean with lots of headroom, but I love running DI with my bass and smashing the heck out of the signal so it sits nice and fat in my mix. When I'm done and all sounds beautiful I can turn around again and run my full stereo mix through it again for mastering. What a great way to free up my computer for other plug-ins. I haven't used this in a live application but I wouldn't hesitate to do so. Plus the blue VU meters are ultra-cool.

Sure it's a great stereo/dual mono preamp and DI, but don't forget, it's also got a great compressor. I run my synths through it just to compress the mess out of my bass and lead patches.

This is a great sounding piece of equipment

I brought this a good year ago but have only recently had the time to use it . i hooked it up to my Tascam DP-01FX and used this focusrite as a front end , I ran two Audio technica 2020 condenser mics... read more [+] through it and stereo miced up my tanglewood jumbo semi acoustic guitar through it , I used the strereo compressor for the guitars and used one of the Audio T's for the vocals .

I put up two mic stands with a quilt drooping over behind me to cut out the unwanted room sounds(budget way of soundproofing).

The sound I managed to get was amazing, I managed to get a lovely signal through the Focusrite into my Tascam 8 track digital without distortion.

I am well pleased with this product, the Focusrite mic pre's are clean and fat sounding.

The mid scoop EQ is also great.

ok for vocals, nice eq but....

Music Background:
I have this and the Voicemaster pro. I use this for some mics but not others. The EQ section is great for scooping out some mic harshness. And the optical comp, while I am sure is the same as the VM... read more [+], doesn't ever seem to react as well. Biggest prob I have with this unit is that it has NO MIC INS ON THE BACK. Ok, I know its not a hi-end sorta pre. But if you rack it, you're screwed. Unless you want cables hanging all over the front of the rack. Solution: there's an empy slot on the back for another digital card. I made a lexan panel for it, added 2 XLR jacks and jumpered it to the front ins. Yes, I voided the warranty instantly. But I needed the thing to be practical. I'm sure Sweetwater will wholeheartedly say "DONT DO THIS" (as the guy from Focusrite advised), but it really helps the patching. If I had rack space, I'd get 2 VM pros over this, but its still a good box. close [-]
