Award-winning Class A discrete transistor-based Focusrite pre-amps
This pre-amp demonstrates the same wide bandwidth philosophy featured in the original vintage Focusrite units, ensuring low noise and distortion.

'Pro Series' Latency-free monitoring
Monitor your source signals within the mix, directly at source, avoiding having to resort to monitoring via your DAW or digital desk, both of which may be prone to latency issues.

Custom Opto Compression
Featuring custom fast-acting optos and voice-optimised and comprehensive controls, this compressor provides extremely smooth yet effective control of the signal's dynamics.

ISA Series De-esser
VoiceMaster PRO features the same de-esser circuit as the award-winning flagship ISA 430 MkII featuring 'De-ess Listen'. It utilised a combination of EQ and phase cancellation are used to create a smoother and less obtrusive result.

Optional Stereo 24 bit / 96kHz ADC
Tracking a vocal direct into your DAW or any other digital recording media has never been easier or more affordable. The Platinum Pro ADC provides a stereo digital S/PDIF audio output and can be retro-fitted at any time.

Vintage Harmonics, Voice-optimised EQ and Tube Sound
VoiceMaster Pro features a host of processing tools to allow you to get creative with a touch of class, putting your own stamp on every recording.

Insert points, FX send/returns & DI functionality
As well as an array of processors, VoiceMaster Pro features a truly professional level of signal flow flexibility, making VoiceMaster Pro versatile enough to handle any sound source.

Focusrite has, over the past decade, built a reputation as the market leader for high quality recording equipment, with is mic-pre technology as the cornerstone of that enviable reputation. The original mic-pre, as featured in the early Focusrite Forte console, used rotary switched gain controls and high quality audio transformers. This mic-pre is still used by many of the industries greatest producers and is the sound of countless hit records. Today, Focusrite design equipment for a far greater audience, from professionals to amateur enthusiasts, all with varying budgets.

As with the Red and ISA ranges, the Mic-pre technology found in the Platinum and Saffire ranges is designed to the highest possible standards. They uphold the same wide bandwidth philosophy featured in the original forté console, back in 1989. All Focusrite mic-pres feature custom components, which have undergone an intense testing and qualification process.

With the facts and figures in, Focusrite designs then have to pass the essential listening stage. Any design can measure well on the test bench but only a great design can be qualified in the studio. The FET-based design in the Saffire range is no exception and ensures the same low noise and distortion performance as earlier transformer-based designs. It delivers clarity without colouration and exhibits the signature transparency for which Focusrite have become famous.

VoiceMaster Pro is a comprehensive mono channel strip, optimised for vocal use but able to process any instrument with outstanding results. The Class A preamp is capable of capturing every nuance from any source, whilst latency-free monitoring ensures direct and delay-free mix control. Additionally, tools such as the Voice-optimised EQ, Vintage Harmonics and Tube Sound allow you to get creative with a touch of class, putting your own stamp on every recording. All of this, combined with the 24-bit, 96kHz A/D option, mean that VoiceMaster Pro is the perfect interface between your microphone and DAW or other recording media.

VoiceMaster Pro boasts the same award-winning preamp as its predecessor, the industry standard VoiceMaster. This pre-amp demonstrates the same wide bandwidth philosophy featured in the original vintage Focusrite units, ensuring low noise and distortion. Mic and Instrument inputs are both located on the front panel, allowing quick and easy connection without the need for a separate DI box. Sections labelled Vintage Harmonics and Tube Sound can be used to further enhance the sonic character, offering tape-based vocal enhancement techniques and cutting edge valve emulation. With such controls at your fingertips, the range of sounds obtainable from the VoiceMaster Pro is extremely wide, from pristine clarity with subtle colouration to warm with luscious overtones.

Focusrite’s British EQ has become a by-word for excellence, and the VoiceMaster Pro EQ is no exception, featuring controls specifi ed to give immediate results with live or prerecorded vocals. Add to this an Optical Compressor and De-esser and you truly have all you need to produce a vocal that sits perfectly in the mix.
