FOCUSRITE REPRESENTATIVE: So we're back into the history of Focusrite, a company that's been around since 1985 mainly making mic pres, and I'm coming over here to talk about the Red Range, a range that's kind of set the hearts a fire of engineers worldwide, and that's because they're so damn gorgeous.

The Red Range you'll find in just about every major pro recording studio or post-production studio or any kind of pro audio studio worldwide. This is a sort of staple classic. And you have the Red 1 which is a four-channel mic pre, transformer-based mic pre, uses the same circuit topology as the original ISA 110, which was the mic pre from the original Focusrite console, but of course it's wrapped in this half-inch thick aluminium red anodized shell which makes it weigh a ton but looking incredibly beautiful. That's the Red 1, four classic transformer based mic pres.

The Red 3, which is probably the most famous and found about in just about every single major studio, is a compressor/limiter, stereo compressor/limiter. It features a VCA-based compressor with three different stages in it. I won't go into the technical details. I'll just simple leave you with the fact that that's the Red 3, probably one of the most famous compressor/limiters in history.

Red 7, huge in post-production. Red 7 was -- well, probably still is -- the standard voice channel for post-production. If features a classic Focusrite pre from the Red 1 and the classic compressor from the Red 3. That's the Red 7.

Red 8 is half the Red 1, two mic pres not four, same design. Beatiful analog unit, the Red Range from 1993 to 1997.
