Based on the legendary designs found in the Focusrite Forte and Studio consoles, the preamps provide up to 80 dB of gain, while two front-panel instrument inputs allow for immediate access to two transparent DIs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone inputs feature a pair of Lundahl LL1538 transformers with a 3-section winding that results in very low leakage inductance, along with an extended frequency response. To shield them from stray magnetism, each is encapsulated in mu-metal cans. Each channel has a fully balanced insert point, activated using a front-panel button, making it easy to insert a choice of outboard EQ, a compressor, or a limiter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA premium bonus is the Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC channel-strip plug-in, a stellar digital emulation of the legendary and rare Focusrite Studio Console.
