The VoiceMaster Pro is designed to create the perfect vocal sound at an
unbelievably competitive price point. The unit bridges the gap between
the flagship ISA 430 'Producer Pack' and the original VoiceMaster,
featuring design aspects from both the legendary ISA range and the
award winning, cost-effective Platinum range.
Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro at a Glance:
- Famous Focusrite Class A preamp plus an instrument input
- Latency-free stereo monitoring
- "Vintage Harmonics" processor emulates 1970s tape-based units
- Tuneable "Tube Sound" circuit and voice-optimized EQ
- Custom VU meter and optional A/D card
Famous Focusrite Class A preamp plus an instrument input
The renowned Focusrite Class A mic preamp from the original VoiceMaster
is retained in the VoiceMaster Pro, but an instrument input has been
added to the front, along with phantom power, phase reverse and
variable high-pass filter. A new vocal-friendly optical expander
follows, so the VoiceMaster Pro provides smoother and more linear
processing.
Latency-free stereo monitoring
Perhaps the most innovative of VoiceMaster Pro's exciting new features
is a latency-free stereo monitoring section, providing comprehensive
headphone monitoring of both the full mix and the vocal (alongside an
FX send and return control). The VoiceMaster Por puts an end to DAW
latency problems when tracking!
"Vintage Harmonics" processor emulates 1970s tape-based units
Another revolutionary element of the VoiceMaster Pro is the "Vintage
Harmonics" processor, designed to emulate classic '70s tape-based vocal
enhancement processes. The compressor is an updated version of the
Platinum series optical device. As with the ISA 430, VoiceMaster Pro
allows the user to change the position of both processing blocks within
the signal-chain. (Both the compressor and the Vintage Harmonics
sections can be moved around.)
Tuneable "Tube Sound" circuit and voice-optimized EQ
The VoiceMaster Pro also features a new tuneable Tube Sound circuit,
providing greater control and clearer indication via an extra tone
control knob and tri-color "Drive" LED. The voice-optimized EQ follows,
featuring improved breath and absence controls, enabling elegant
handling of the varying aspects of male and female vocalists. The ISA
430's de-esser completes the VoiceMaster Pro's processing set.
The Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro is also the first Platinum series unit to
feature a custom blue Focusrite VU meter. An optional A/D card is
available, operating at 24 bit/96kHz with S/PDIF output and BNC word
clock input, providing hassle-free digital connectivity.
