Is OctoPre an interface?

What makes the octopre MkII dynamic so special?

The Octopre MkII Dynamic has another string to its bow: you get eight ‘one‑knob’ compressor‑limiters, partly based on Focusrite’s revered Red 3 VCA design — the decidely ‘pro’ Red series pre-dates even the Green range.

What’s the difference between the octopre MKII and the Saffire?

The mic amps are identical to those in the basic MkII and the Saffire range, with the emphasis on neutrality and transparency, which seems a sensible choice for such a product. Both models are housed in a 1U rackmount chassis, with all I/O on the rear panels apart from the Octopre MkII’s pair of ‘combi’ jack/XLR sockets on the front.

Are Focusrite mic preamps any good?

Focusrite have revamped, updated and rationalised their eight‑channel mic preamps with these models, and while there are cheaper alternatives available, the Focusrite brand, in my opinion, still offers the optimum balance of price/performance for the budget‑conscious home‑studio owner.
