Awesome piece of gear
SonicPeasant 19.10.2022
My home studio is centered around an older Clarett 8PreX Thunderbolt interface with a Presonus Studio 192 as extension plus now also this Clarett+ OctoPre as additional extension. I rarely record more than 1-3 channels at once, so I don't need 24 channels for tracking – ever. But it simplifies the use of outboard gear to not have to constantly repatch everything.
The only reason I bought this unit was that several reviews (as well as the specs on paper) said that it was even cleaner audio than the original Clarett I already had. I doubted that my less-than-golden ears would actually register any difference, but to my surprise they did. I have the distinct impression that the audio from this one is more pure even though I never had any complains with the sound of the older unit.
So now this is the main unit used for tracking, because it has the purest sound of the three.
A small tip: Took me a while to figure out that you can switch back and forth between the AIR mode and the Insert mode. It's not either or – it's just that the buttons have double function. You can first switch AIR on for the channels you want, then go into buttons mode = insert and subsequently switch insert effects in and out. That wasn't clear to me from the manual.
The only thing I miss on this unit is that there is no way to ensure 0dB loop gain for an output-input loop because the channel gain knobs also change the line level input gain. I prefer the solution in the Presonus Studio 192 where channel gain only alters the input gain for microphone and instrument level inputs while keeping a 0dB (unity) gain for line levels. That's much more useful for me, particularly for a stereo effects loop.
Also, I got audio dropouts when syncing the clock over BNC cable (which could possibly be something I did wrong, though I don't think so) but syncing over ADAT works perfectly.
All in all, this is an awesome piece of gear that I wholeheartedly recommend. The preamps are great and the sound is very clean.

Very good so far

I took this preamp and I connected with my 18i20. I had some problems with syncing the two together but at the end they work good 👍

Everything works exactly like the brand describes. The sound is amazing (Clean, transparent, focused...). I had big expectations and they were all checked.

gute Kanalerweiterung
iPit 23.08.2023
Den Focusrite Clarett+OctoPre habe ich als ADAT-Erweiterung für Liverecordings erworben. Er integriert sich spielend in meine UAD-Umgebung, zwei gute optische Kabel und schon tauchen die Signale im Mixer auf. Installation und Livebetrieb sind einfach und selbsterklärend.

Ausschlaggebend für den Kauf war neben dem guten Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis die Möglichkeit, über Inserts anderes Outboard einzuschleifen, auch das ist problemlos. Etwas verwirrend finde ich die Umschaltung Air / Insert am Gerät. Mit der Air-Taste kann pro Kanal eine Emulation des Focusrite ISA 110 dazugeschalten werden, laut Bedienungsanleitung und am Gerät scheint es nur ein entweder / oder zu geben, aber auch bei eingeschaltetem "Air" funktioniert das einschleifen über den Insert. Also alles gut, so soll es sein.

Sonst hat das Gerät alles, was heute so gebraucht wird, Samplingraten bis 192kHz, WordClock Synchronisation, alles symmetrisch und im Kanal 1 und 2 ein kombinierter Instrumenten / Mikrofoneingang.

Die XLR-Buchsen 1 + 2 sind etwas schwergängig, das gibt einen Punkt Abzug in der Verarbeitung.

Bei Registrierung Focusrite gibt es jede Menge Software zum Download, als UAD Benutzer benötige ich die allerdings (noch) nicht.

Alles in allem eine gute ADAT-Erweiterung in bestehende Systeme.
