Description
The Focusrite ISA 428 MkII is a four-channel transformer-based mic preamp in a 2U rackmount chassis, featuring four ISA preamp circuits with Lundahl LL1538 input transformers and a rear-panel expansion slot for the optional ISA ADN8 A-D converter card.
Preamp Controls
Each channel provides 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 offers precise low-end control. Four front-panel 1/4" instrument inputs and rear-panel mic, line, and insert connections cover all recording scenarios.
Digital Expansion
With the optional ISA ADN8 card installed, the four preamp outputs plus four additional rear-panel XLR inputs feed eight channels of 24-bit/192kHz A-D conversion with Dante, AES3, and ADAT outputs. Six-segment LED meters per channel, plus metering for the four additional A-D card inputs, provide clear level monitoring.
