Solid State Logic PureDrive Octo 8-channel Mic/Line/Instrument Preamplifier

---

The Solid State Logic PureDrive Octo 8-channel mic/line/instrument preamplifier packs eight high-performance PureDrive preamps ported from the company’s acclaimed Origin console. Featuring 192kHz/32-bit conversion via ADAT, AES, and USB, in addition to stepped controls and digitally controlled analog circuitry, the PureDrive Octo interfaces seamlessly into today’s hybrid studio setups. The preamps inherit the sonic purity and crystalline clarity characteristic of SSL microphone preamp designs. In addition to the Clean setting, SSL’s innovation Drive circuit offers two distinct flavors of gain-dependent, harmonically rich character. The PureDrive Octo also retains four great-sounding front-panel hi-Z DI inputs with automatic input detection to handle electric bass, guitars, keyboards, and other electronic instruments. With all this going for it, the Solid State Logic PureDrive Octo is a no-brainer for inclusion in any modern pro studio rack.
