Product Description

ISA modules use the highest-quality input transformers available, such as the Lundahl LL1538 mic input transformer.

Variable input impedance: You can match the preamp to your microphone by selecting one of four input impedance values, including the original ISA 100 value.

Instrument and line inputs on the front and back panels: two 14-inch jack sockets on the front panel provide instant access to a transparent DI input, and TRS line inputs are also available on the back panel.

High-pass filter with variable cut-off: 18dB/octave high-pass filter with a frequency range of 16 to 420 Hz, ideal for cutting out unwanted low-frequency sounds.

External signal processors can be connected to the ISA Two balanced insert point via 14-inch TRS send and receive connections on the back panel. This and all other Focusrite products now come with a 3-Year Warranty.

Questions & Answers

For my audio interface, I use the Apogee Quartet. The preamps are excellent - Do you believe this focusrite will improve an already excellent sound?

I'm feeding an Apogee Quartet with my ISA Two as a clean boost. The ISA Two will add color to your signal and fatten it up, which is a good thing. It's fantastic for guitar and vocals. As long as you don't overdrive the inputs and clip, the Quartet will keep whatever signal you feed it pure and beautiful.

Is it rack mountable (standard 19 inch)?

Yes, that is correct. It can be stored in regular racks.

What is the best way to connect an Isa two to a Focusrite Sacrlett 18i20? Is there a spdif out on this item?

The 18i20's analog output would simply be connected to the analog input. There is no digital output on this unit.

Very nice presets

5/5

I'm satisfied because the preamps have performed admirably. I also have an ISA server, which is a single box that isn't usually rack mounted. The ISA model has two DI inputs and outputs, allowing you to record a vocal and direct in guitar to two different tracks. The ISA version also comes with a digital output card that is simple to install and configure. Aside from that, the ISA one and ISA two sound identical, and you get two preamps in one box. The ISA Two adds only a small amount of color to a performance. It adds some warmth and punch while remaining faithful to the mics I've used.

AWESOME

5/5

This product is fantastic; my sound is solid, awesome, and clean. My bass is spot on, and my microphones are as good as they've ever been. I love it so much that I won't record anything else without it. Very sturdy, and the high pass filter is so useful that I can't imagine life without it. Enjoy yourself, hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha And this is something I have in my studio.
