Focusrite ISA Two 2‑Channel Rack‑Mount Microphone Preamplifier

Focusrite ISA Two 2‑Channel Rack‑Mount Microphone Preamplifier

The Focusrite ISA Two brings two independent, legendary ISA 110‑derived microphone preamps into a compact 1U rack format. Combining Lundahl LL1538 transformer input stages with rotary gain control and variable impedance, it offers both the classic Focusrite warmth and modern flexibility for high-quality analog signal capture.

Each channel features front‑panel instrument and rear‑panel line/mic inputs, switchable impedance, individual high‑pass filters, inserts, and LED metering calibrated via rear‑panel trim—making it a powerful studio-quality unit for vocal, instrument, or stereo tracking.
