{"product_id":"focusrite-forte","title":"Focusrite Forte","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocusrite Forte\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professional 2 in, 4 out portable USB audio interface for Mac and Windows, designed to deliver analogue sources to your DAW at the highest possible quality. It features two remote-controlled mic preamps with the unrivalled sound quality you would expect from Focusrite. Forte partners these with superb digital conversion at up to 24-bit\/192kHz resolution. Built into a solid aluminium case, Forte features a colour OLED display, touch controls and a single large control knob for intuitive operation, with DAW integration transforming it into a control interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eForte takes its name from the original Focusrite console that embodied all the fundamental elements of the renowned Focusrite sound. Focusrite’s original Forté was the recording console based on the ground-breaking mic pre and compression modules that Rupert Neve created for Air Studios back in the 1980s. Designed to offer the very highest audio path quality irrespective of cost, the Forté console set the benchmarks for mic preamplifiers and dynamic control and that remain unequalled today. The Forte USB audio interface continues this obsession with sound quality...\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eForte has been designed specifically to provide a compact, rugged and effective input path to your computer with the maximum possible audio quality for mic, line and instrument sources. In particular, Forte delivers class-leading dynamic range and noise floor – both highly significant in today’s world of an almost unlimited number of tracks making up a mix – and class-leading conversion performance, ensuring you get the very best quality sound at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing two of the latest design of Focusrite's remote-controlled microphone preamplifiers, the Forte USB audio interface connects to both Mac and Windows computers via USB 2.0. It incorporates highest-quality precision 24-bit A-D and D-A converters operating at sample rates up to 192kHz, and the conversion stages have had maximum attention paid to both analogue and digital design to deliver the best possible performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eForte includes a colour OLED (Organic LED) display to indicate mic, line in, line out and headphone levels, gain structure and other functionality. It features a single, large, smoothly-rotating control knob operated in conjunction with a series of touch-sensitive icons to access preamplifier and output functions – input, monitor, headphone, and control – plus the ability to control DAW functions and act as a remote control for your music software. Included with the unit is Forte Control software application, which allows the configuration of low-latency monitoring, mic pre level adjustment and other features.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eParticular attention has been paid to ergonomic design. A breakout cable with locking connector is used for microphone (XLR) and line\/instrument (TRS) inputs, but balanced line and independent headphone outputs are provided on the unit itself, so the breakout cable is not required for playback-only applications. In addition, the fact that the mic and line-level inputs on the breakout cable are separate means that you can keep your inputs connected all the time without having to re-patch when you go from one to the other. Forte can run on bus power in \"USB low-power mode\" but an included power supply increases the available volume to headphones\/line outputs and delivers +48V phantom power to your microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic Focusrite Midnight plugin suite is also included in the box, accurately modelling the classic ISA110 EQ and ISA130 compressor from the original Focusrite Forté console.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Specifications \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 in \/ 4 out USB audio interface \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e192KHz, 24-bit conversion \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 Focusrite microphone preamplifiers \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSilver aluminium chassis \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLarge multi-function push encoder \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e4 touch sensitive mode buttons \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone socket (front panel) \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear panel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e2 balanced monitor outputs – ¼” TRS \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eJack Input Loom socket \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePower socket \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 2.0 Port Kensington Lock slot (rear side) \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded software\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e Focusrite Midnight plug-in suite \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eForte Control software application\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*This item now includes the Focusrite Red 2 \u0026amp; Red 3 Plug-In Suite (AAX\/AU\/VST) upon registration of interface.
