The Focusrite ISA ONE Analog Preamp is a high quality preamplifier designed to record microphone, line-level or instrument sources. It delivers Focusrite's prestigious ISA transformer-based pre-amp in a rugged and portable chassis, at a groundbreaking price.

The Focusrite ISA ONE Analog Preamp features a rugged, portable all-metal enclosure, and combines the classic Focusrite microphone preamp with a flexible, independent DI channel and optional 192kHz precision A-D conversion. At the heart of the Focusrite ISA ONE is the microphone preamplifier with its Lundahl input transformer – essentially the same circuit, based on the original ISA 110, that has been used for 30 years in successive Focusrite designs. The input transformer imparts a special character to the sound that can't be truly emulated in any other way, while the modern twist of variable input impedance allows for a new degree of flexibility.

Whether you're an artist, engineer or producer, you'll appreciate the versatility of the Focusrite ISA One, with its front-panel DI input. The DI includes low/high impedance switching and an amplifier output, and its own feed to the optional A-D converter and separate rear-panel XLR output.

What We Think

The Focusrite ISA One was my first outboard/standalone microphone preamp and I still use it to this day. It’s got such a clean and open sound to it, it’s one of my go-to preamps for vocals and acoustic guitar. This ISA One gives you impedance options on the front that allows you to switch up the sound a bit and find the right fit for your microphone or sound source. The instrument input sounds great too, I love recording direct bass and guitars through it. The ISA One features a thru or “Amp” output on the front which allows you to run a copy of your signal to your guitar amp. This is very handy for me as I always like to record a clean DI signal with every amp track for editing and possible re-amping later. There’s a great sounding headphone amp onboard the ISA One too which is nice. My favorite part about the ISA aside from the awesome sound quality, is that it allows you to record microphone and instrument inputs at the same time! It’s so convenient and sounds great! Check out the Focusrite ISA One, you won’t be disappointed.
