OverviewBack topThe ISA 430 MkII represents the pinnacle of Focusrites analogue channel strip technology, bringing together all the classic designs in one comprehensive production tool. Augmented with additional features and flavours, alongside unmatched internal routing and connectivity, the ISA 430 MkII enables todays recording professional to enjoy the unique sonic contribution of these heritage designs within one extremely versatile processor. With the Producer Pack, Focusrites iconic status as the leading manufacturer of channel strips remains unrivalled.
From mic impedance switching and mic air effect (a wire-wound inductor for increased spaciousness), to three compressor options (VCA, Vintage Opto and Opto Limit) combined with the compressed/uncompressed Blend feature, the ISA430 MkII delivers a impressive variety of processing sounds.
Routing and monitoring flexibility has also received a booster. The unique Listen feature (allowing you to hone in on the frequency you wish to affect) is now available on compressor, gate, and expander circuits as well as the ISA 430 MkIIs unique phase cancellation-based de-esser circuit. In addition, monitoring and inserts are available at a variety of points along the signal chain. Finally, the ISA 430 MkII features an optional 24bit-192kHz high performance (122dB A-weighted with jitter below 20 pico seconds) stereo A-D converter, allowing you to retain every nuance of your analogue signal as you flow seamlessly into the digital domain.

saludos felicitaciones y bendiciones ante todo. tengo una pregunta como ingeniero profesional quizas me puedas ayudar. con el focusrite ISA 430 MKII he visto que es posible adaptarle un convertidor de analogo a digital . es posible utilizar esta unidad como un interfaz para trabajar en el DAW?(Ptools 9 Le).
asi compro solo este maravilloso channel strip y lo conecto directo al computador sin necesidad de otra interfaz. es esto posible?

@Mordeleitor No es posible que sea una interface, la interface esta disenada para monitorear , esta unidad puede funcionar para finalizar una mezcla , darle color a tu mezcla.

tendre que comprar una rme fireface o algo asi .en la respuesta me dijiste que puedo utilizarla para finalizar una mezcla y darle color. no comprendo muy bien osea dices que luego de que tengo todo el tema ya en etapa de mezcla paso toda la mezcla atravez de este channel strip? la unica forma conocida para mi de utilizar un channel strip como este es durante la grabacion al hacer la toma de voz o del instrumento que sea que requiera grabar. corrigeme si estoy errado o hay mas?

@Mordeleitor Hola :) esta unidad la puedes usar para grabar y procesar en mezcla, lo unico inconveniente es que es en mono :) tiene dos entradas externas :). Disculpa la confucion :)
