Focusrite Microphone Preamps

A great microphone is one key piece of the sound puzzle, but it can't capture and translate a clear, powerful tone all by itself. Whether you're self-recording in your home studio or producing for a major record label, every mic needs a preamplifier. And, just like studios, preamps come in many different kinds and sizes to suit every situation. If quality and selection are what you're looking for, Focusrite is an excellent place to start.
