*Excluding the following: Special orders, gift cards, used items, vintage items, open-box items, and clearance items. Qualifying purchase amount must be on one receipt and cannot be combined with promotional coupons. A promo fee, equal to 2% of the amount financed at time of purchase, will be shown as a separate transaction on your billing statement and included in the balance subject to this promo. Any taxes, delivery or other charges included in the amount financed will increase the related promo fee and the required monthly payments. For example, a $950 purchase with $50 in taxes and shipping costs, will be charged a promo fee equal to $20 and $1,020 will be charged to your account. No interest will be charged on the amount financed (including related promo fee), and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the initial total promo purchase amount (including related promo fee) divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole cent. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period, the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. For new accounts: as of 7/16/2024: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99% Minimum interest charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

‡ A promo fee, equal to 2% of the amount financed at time of purchase, will be shown as a separate transaction on your billing statement and included in the balance subject to this promo. Any taxes, delivery or other charges included in the amount financed will increase the related promo fee and the required monthly payment. The estimated monthly payment shown (excluding taxes and delivery) equals the amount financed (including related promo fee) divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make your payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed (including related promo fee) within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this monthly payment will be added to the minimum payment applicable to those balances.

Overview

Classic vintage microphone preamplifier at a groundbreaking price.

Back in the mid-1980s, Sir George Martin commissioned console design legend Rupert Neve to build a series of new, "no compromise" console modules for AIR studios. They were an enormous hit and formed the basis of the Focusrite Studio Console, widely regarded as the best-sounding analog recording console of all time. Today, the descendants of those modules are used in leading studios around the world, and their sought-after Focusrite Heritage Sound lies behind hundreds of hit records. Today's ISA Range from Focusrite puts the classic sound of Focusrite into your own studio or live performance.

Featuring a rugged, portable all-metal enclosure, the ISA One combines the classic Focusrite microphone preamp with a flexible, independent DI channel and optional 192kHz precision A/D conversion.

At the heart of the ISA range is the microphone preamplifier with its Lundahl input transformer, essentially the same circuit, based on the original ISA110, that has been used for 30 years in successive Focusrite designs. The input transformer imparts a special character to the sound that can't be truly emulated in any other way: inseparable from the microphone itself, the transformer input stage is ideal for use with classic microphones. But this mic pre has a twist the original didn't have, which makes it far more versatile: four carefully selected impedances allow you to match microphone to input in different ways. Bring out the character of a classic mic or emphasize a special feature, or go for a totally transparent, modern sound. It's up to you.

Whether you're an artist, engineer or producer, you'll appreciate the versatility of the ISA One, with its front-panel DI input. The DI includes low/high impedance switching and an amplifier output, and its own feed to the optional A/D converter and separate rear-panel XLR output.

Now comes with Brainworx bx_console Focusrite plug-in

This awesome plug-in recreates the analog signal paths of Focusrite’s revered ISA 110 and ISA 130 modules, which were a part of the Focusrite Studio Console. Designed and coded by the DSP geniuses at acclaimed software house Brainworx, the new bx_console Focusrite VST/AU/AAX plug-in for Mac and PC faithfully captures the sound, feel and styling of the original iconic hardware.

If you purchased any Red, RedNet or ISA solution from January 2020 on, you will have the plug-in available in your Focusrite account as long as you’ve registered your product.

Meters

Moving coil (MC) meter is factory calibrated to 0VU: +4dBu with 1kHz sinewave
With the VU Cal button pressed the meter can be adjusted on the rear panel to allow 0VU to equal +10dBu to +26dBu with the centre detent being equal to +22dBu
Peak LED meters calibrated in the detent position for 0dBFS: +22dBu, calibration is adjustable on the rear panel to allow 0dBFS to equal +10dBu to +26dBu
Routing for MC and Peak1 meter is after the HPF, pre insert send or switched post insert return. Peak2 is always pre ADC channel 2, which can be fed by external input or Instrument input
LED levels are as follows when peak calibration is set to center detent on the rear panel (This is when using the internal ADC)
0: +22dBu
2: +20dBu
–6: +16dBu
–12: +10dBu
–18: +4dBu
–42: -20dBu
