ISA One
Classic Microphone Pre-amplifier with Independent D.I.
The original Focusrite consoles were custom built for a few discerning studio owners,
like Allen Sides of Ocean Way, Hollywood. Their unique sound has contributed to countless
gold and platinum recordings over the last two decades.
The Focusrite consoles were based around the ISA110 Microphone Pre-amplifi er and EQ
module, originally commissioned in 1987 for Air studios, London, to extend the custom
Neve console in Studio One. Sir George Martin, the AIR Studios team and Focusrite tuned
the microphone pre-amplifi er by ear. It went on to form the cornerstone of all ISA products.
The topology has never changed, except for the addition of a variable impedance circuit,
providing ISA users with increased control and a broader variety of sounds.
The new Focusrite ISA One shares the same pre-amplifi er topology, featuring the
original Lundahl LL1538 transformer and bespoke Zobel network. A host of other features,
including an independent D.I. and an optional class-leading 192kHz A-D converter,
ensure this classic design fi ts seamlessly into your modern studio environment.
