The Korena take
Eight Clarett+ microphone preamps make the Clarett+ 8Pre a natural center point for sessions that need to capture many sources together, including a full drum kit or ensemble. Two high-impedance instrument inputs allow direct guitar and bass recording, and its pair of headphone amplifiers provides independent level control for artists. ADAT can add eight inputs and eight outputs, with S/PDIF and MIDI extending the connection options for a more involved studio setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Multitrack sessions that need eight microphone preamps for a drum kit or ensemble.
- Directly recording electric guitar or bass without setting up an amplifier.
- Growing a studio through ADAT while retaining S/PDIF and MIDI connections.
