Focusrite TrakMaster PRO

????? Single-Channel Preamplifier, a professional microphone preamplifier/compressor, is the latest in Focusrite's Platinum Pro series and the company's most affordable recording channel strip to date. Providing performance specifications never before seen at this price point, TrakMaster Pro features a mic preamp derived from Focusrite's award-winning Green range, front panel DI, problem-solving mid-scoop EQ, intuitive optical compression, latency-free monitoring, and the Platinum Pro series ADC option.

The Focusrite TrakMaster PRO preamp demonstrates the same wide-bandwidth philosophy as past Focusrite preamps, ensuring low noise and distortion and delivering clarity without unwanted artifacts. The low impedance switch of Focusrite TrakMaster PRO, a feature previously unavailable at this price point, brings yet further sound options to the recording process. Also featured are phantom power and a high pass filter for controlling rumble, proximity effect and pop reduction.

The mid-scoop EQ is a quick and effective problem-solver, with two different cut-depths and an adjustable frequency control. Ranging from 120Hz to 2kHz, it's ideal for problem solving or for great miked-up speaker cabinets. Staying true to the Focusrite philosophy, the intuitive optical vintage compressor has been tuned by ear and features Focusrite's custom fast-acting optos operating in Class A mode, allowing for smoother, lower-distortion performance than comparative off-the-shelf VCA circuits. With the addition of variable attack and the unique 'Squash' mode (ideal for punchy drum sounds), this Focusrite TrakMaster PRO compressor is equally capable of transparent compression or imposing a character of its own. Either way, Focusrite TrakMaster PRO brings professional compression within reach of a new audience.

The original TrakMaster's metering section has been massively augmented, and now features a unique 'porthole'-style peak level meter, alongside the trademark for the Platinum Pro series, latency-free monitoring. This section of Focusrite TrakMaster PRO offers the capacity to monitor tracked signals within the mix directly at source, avoiding having to monitor via the DAW or digital desk. A headphone or monitor mix can be created for either the artist or the engineer, with immediate, tactile control over levels. Finally, TrakMaster Pro accepts the established Platinum Pro 24-bit, 96kHz stereo analog to digital converter, providing a high-quality direct digital route from the TrakMaster Pro to the DAW.

Focusrite's always been clear on the philosophy behind the Platinum range and they're only too aware of what they need to deliver to stay ahead of the game in this market. While TrakMaster Pro is the most affordable unit Focusrite has ever produced, it still breaks barriers. Carrying on where the TrakMaster left off, you've now got switchable impedance and latency-free monitoring -- features that previously just weren't available at this price point. Quite simply, TrakMaster Pro provides more bang for your buck than any other unit on the market.

02/12/2012 - The compressor is very useable, especially on vocals. It’s capable of very fast attack times, and I could make any sound sit pretty well in my mix while recording. The Squash limiter function is like turning on an entirely different compressor, and is particularly good on bass sounds.

10/18/2011 - The TrakMaster Pro's compressor is loads of fun: it can sound clean for vocals and acoustic guitar, but it excels at crushing drum loops. The Slow Attack switch enables you to set the compressor to extreme levels without losing too much punch on kick drums and snares, so you can really get things pumping. The Squash setting behaves more like a limiter: if you set it carefully, you can contain transient peaks without impacting too much on the musical quality.

10/05/2010 - Awesome pre-amp. We were using 2 Joe Meek pre-amps in the studio that didn't have enough gain, that had obnoxious pumping compressors, and overall put out a pretty frumpy sound. With this Focusrite unit, the difference is night and day. I LOVE the way this unit is set up. If you read the simple instructions and follow them, getting a good clean, well-articulated signal is easy . . . with plenty of fudge room. The compressor on this thing is excellent, transparent, and very musical. I highly recommend this unit.

08/19/2010 - Focusrite Platinum units are always clearly and simply laid out, and the Trakmaster Pro is no exception.
