Pristine Red Evolution preamps The Red 4Pre's software-controlled Red Evolution mic preamps deliver 63dB of gain, so it will work perfectly with your favorite mics, even those low-output ribbon mics. Also onboard is Focusrite's famous Air effect, which emulates the sound of the company's acclaimed transformer-based ISA preamps. If you're looking to bring out the breathiness of a vocal or enhance the presence on an acoustic guitar, the Red 4Pre will delight you. High-end converters with parallel path summing Focusrite spec'd the Red 4Pre's with their new high-end conversion system that features parallel path summing, in which two matched converters run in parallel to optimize the S/N ratio. The converters operate at up to 24-bit/192kHz sampling and boast a dynamic range of 118dB (A/D), and 121dB (D/A). Noise and distortion? Not here! With a ruler-flat frequency response of 20Hz to 35kHz (+/-0.25dB), the Red 4Pre delivers a miniscule 0.0009% THD+noise. Connectivity for the modern studio The Red 4Pre is designed for the modern studio - yours. Dual Thunderbolt 2 ports with incredibly low round-trip latency let you daisy-chain your displays or hard drives. Dual DigiLink connectors give you a direct connection to Pro Tools|HD systems and Avid interfaces. Got Dante? The Red 4Pre has you future-proofed for Ethernet-based audio networking, too. And if you need to expand your rig, you're covered for up to 64 additional channels with any combination of Dante interface (such as Focusrite's RedNet series).
