Overview

Twin channels of exquisite pre-amplification, with front-panel D.I. for easy instrument connection.

The ISA Story goes back to 1985, when Sir George Martin commissioned legendary designer Rupert Neve to design new modules for the console at AIR Montserrat. They were so successful that more were comShow More
