4. CLARETT+ OCTOPRE WITH ANALOGUE MIXING DESK
This setup uses the Clarett+ OctoPre’s mic preamplifiers and AIR mode to provide a high quality
“front end” for an analogue mixing desk. Use an 8-way loom to connect the OctoPre’s LINE OUT
socket to eight line inputs on the mixing desk; this will need a 25-way D-sub on one end and eight
connectors appropriate to the desk’s line inputs on the other. (Pre-made looms are available from
professional audio suppliers).
This setup would also be appropriate to use the OctoPre as an input stage with any type of 8-channel
analogue device.
Because the Clarett+ OctoPre’s ADAT OUT ports are always active, you can also simultaneously
record the performance on a DAW (or other recording device) with an ADAT interface.
