Focusrite's Platinum TwinTrak Pro.
UK - Late May sees the launch of the Platinum TwinTrak Pro, the latest member of the award-winning Focusrite Platinum range. Designed principally as an affordable, high-specification dual mono/stereo tracking device, TT Pro, (as it's known), also boasts comprehensive latency-free monitoring, high performance digital connectivity, and all within a sturdy 2U 19" rack-mount chassis.

Each channel features Focusrite's award-winning Platinum pre amp, embellished with the option of instant 'air' and variable input impedance for improved microphone performance and extended creativity. A Mid-scoop EQ follows, and provides variable frequency and depth of cut for vocal problem solving and miked-up cabinet ambience. In pride of place is TT Pro’s powerful dual mono/stereo optical compressor. This features Focusrite's custom fast-acting optos, alongside side-chain inputs and the ability to operate as a true 'twinned' stereo pair. These circuit design innovations are complemented by a comprehensive set of focused controls.

TT Pro is the first Platinum to feature a D/A converter as standard, alongside its optional analogue to digital converter. The D/A converter enables the user to feed mono or stereo digital signals into TT Pro. These signals can be fed either into the stereo Latency-free Monitoring section, or via line inputs for further processing. The signal can then return to the digital audio workstation via Focusrite's established stereo A/D converter option.
