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
