They were so successful that many more were commissioned for AIR London. These original modules form the basis for today's Focusrite ISA series - delivering the legendary Focusrite sound to leading studios, artists, producers, and engineers worldwide. Hundreds of hit records have been created - and continue to be created - with the Focusrite ISA Range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Focusrite ISA Two brings together a pair of legendary, fully independent ISA microphone preamps, derived from the original ISA 110 module, combining the best of traditional solid-state electronics with the original input transformer specified by Rupert Neve - the Lundahl LL1538. Two is a pleasant number - ideal for recording vocals and instruments, or a stereo piano. And even if you only need 2 microphone preamps, you absolutely must choose the best. (And if you need more, we also have the 4-channel ISA 428 Mk II and 8-channel ISA 828 units).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusrite has made a small change to the microphone preamp. The original ISA 110 had a unique input impedance, ideal for the microphones of the time. The ISA Two boasts 3 additional impedances, allowing you to get the best out of all your microphones, vintage or modern. Give a vintage microphone the input it expects, and you'll get a warm, traditional sound. Pair the ISA Two with modern microphones, and you'll get the most transparent sound imaginable. Or experiment, bringing out the hidden character from each microphone. Combine all this with up to 80dB of gain, and you're ready for anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the microphone preamps, there are instrument inputs on the front panel for quick access, and line inputs on the rear panel. There is also a balanced insert point on the rear panel, activatable with a button on the front panel for inserting EQs, dynamic effects, and other processors. Add an 8-LED user-calibratable meter and a high-pass filter with variable cutoff, and you have everything you need to achieve the best quality in your audio recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on all new \u003cstrong\u003eFocusrite\u003c\/strong\u003e products purchased from January 1, 2018 onwards.

The ISA design ensures low noise, even at the highest gain levels. The transformer provides 20 dB of gain, while the ISA input stage offers up to an additional 60 dB, for a total of 80 dB of maximum gain on the microphone input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariable input impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 selectable input impedances, including the original ISA 100 setting, allow you to match the preamp to your microphone, even if it's vintage, to get the best possible sound.
