Focusrite ISA Two Dual Mono Mic Pre (Used)
In very good condition with only light signs of use. Includes 3 months warranty
Focusrite’s ISA Two brings together a totally independent pair of legendary ISA microphone preamps from the original ISA 110 module, combining the best of traditional solid-state electronics with the original input transformer specified by Rupert Neve — the Lundahl LL1538. Two is a nice round number ideal for recording, say, a vocal and an instrument, or a stereo piano. But though you may only need two mic pres, you owe it to your craft to choose the best. (And if you need more, we offer ISA 428 Mk II 4-channel and ISA 828 8-channel units too.)
We’ve made one little adjustment to the mic pre. The original ISA 110 had a single input impedance that was ideal for the mics of the time. We’ve added three more, allowing you to get the very best out of any microphone, vintage or modern. Give a vintage mic the input it expects to get a traditional, warm sound. Pair the ISA Two with modern microphones and get the most transparent sound imaginable. Or experiment and pull out the inner character of any microphone you care to try. Couple that with up to 80dB of gain and you can be ready for anything.
In addition to the mic pres, there are front panel instrument inputs for instant access, along with rear-panel line ins. There’s also a balanced insert point on the rear panel, actuated with a front-panel button so you can insert the EQ, dynamics or other processors you need. Add to that the user-calibrated 8-LED metering and variable cutoff high-pass filter and you know that with the ISA Two you’ll have everything you need to get the highest quality sound into your recordings.
