Description
The Focusrite ISA Two is a dual-channel transformer-based mic preamp featuring two independent ISA preamp circuits with Lundahl LL1538 input transformers in a 1U rackmount chassis, based on the original ISA 110 topology from the Focusrite Studio Console.
Preamp Controls
Each channel offers up to 80dB of gain (60dB in 10dB steps, plus 20dB of variable trim) with four-position input impedance switching (600Ω, 1.4kΩ ISA 110, 2.4kΩ, 6.8kΩ). A variable high-pass filter with continuously adjustable cutoff from 16Hz to 420Hz at 18dB/octave provides precise low-end control per channel. Front-panel instrument inputs with over 2MΩ impedance eliminate the need for external DI boxes.
Insert Points and Metering
Rear-panel balanced insert points on each channel allow inline routing to external compressors or EQs. User-calibrated 8-segment LED meters display peak signal level in dBFS, with a rear-panel calibration pot to match your A-D converter's reference level.
