Focusrite Pro has announced three new products in the ISA range that bring the Focusrite sound to Dante networking applications.
The 8-channel ISA 828 MkII offers the same transformer-based input stage, equipped with a Lundahl LL1538 transformer, as its predecessor. New, however, is compatibility with Dante Audio-over-IP networking, facilitated by the optional ISA ADN8 A-D card. Also new is an updated power supply designed to provide more efficient power consumption, a reduction in heat generation, and reliable operation. The front panel remains unchanged, with 6-step metering on each channel and front-panel instrument inputs for channels 1-4.
The ISA ADN8 is an optional A-D card for the ISA 828 MkII and ISA 428 MkII. It provides ADAT Optical, AES3 and Dante connectivity at rates up to 24-bit/192 kHz. The card offers primary and secondary RJ45 Dante output ports, an AES59-configured DB25 connector for AES3 output, and a pair of TOSLINK connectors for ADAT output. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronization with many external devices.
And, the ISA ADN2 is an optional two-channel 24-bit/192kHz A-D card that is engineered to provide quality analog-to-digital conversion for the ISA One mic preamp and DI. The card offers primary and secondary RJ45 Dante output ports, an XLR connector for AES3 output, a TOSLINK connector for ADAT output and RCA connector for S/PDIF output. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronization with many external devices.
