Solid State Logic PureDrive Octo
GTIN: 0878076001852
8-channel 2U SuperAnalogue PureDrive mic preamp from the SSL ORIGIN console, with Clean, Classic Drive and Asymmetric Drive modes, USB interface, AES/EBU and ADAT outputs.
Solid State Logic PURE DRIVE OCTO 8-Channel Mic Preamp with USB and AES/EBU
PURE DRIVE OCTO brings the PureDrive microphone preamp of the SSL ORIGIN console to an 8-channel 2U rack unit, adding a new Asymmetric Drive mode, digital connectivity and an onboard USB interface. Each preamp switches between Clean (linear, ultra-low noise), Classic Drive (symmetrical, mainly odd harmonics, as on ORIGIN) and Asymmetric Drive (mainly even harmonics, with more thickness and softer transients).
No potentiometers, mechanical switches or relays sit in the critical audio path: the analogue circuits are digitally controlled from detented pots and electronic switches, for precise channel matching and easy recall. Each channel has stepped gain up to +65 dB, a 31-step trim in 1 dB steps, a fixed 75 Hz 3rd-order high-pass filter accessed from the trim pot, +48 V phantom power, polarity invert and four input impedance options.
Connections include eight rear combo XLR inputs, four front Hi-Z/DI inputs with automatic detection and D-sub connectors for line inputs, insert sends and returns. The USB soundcard records eight channels up to 32-bit/192 kHz; four AES/EBU output pairs and ADAT outputs deliver eight channels at 24-bit/48 kHz, or up to four channels at 192 kHz via SMUX.
