Solid State Logic PureDrive Quad 4-Channel Mic Preamps with 192 kHz/32-Bit Conversion

The PURE DRIVE QUAD is an advanced audio interface that brings the acclaimed SuperAnalogue PureDrive™ microphone preamp technology from Solid State Logic's ORIGIN console to a 4-channel 2U rackmount unit. This innovation eliminates electro-mechanical components from the critical audio signal path, enhancing product durability and ensuring precise matching between all channels. Each of the microphone preamps can be individually configured for three DRIVE modes: Clean, Classic Drive, and Asymmetric Drive, offering a range of tonal options from ultra-low noise clarity to pronounced coloration.

The device provides comprehensive connectivity with combo XLR inputs, Hi-Z/DI instrument inputs, D-sub connectors, and an integrated USB sound card for interfacing with digital audio workstations at up to 32-Bit/192 kHz. It also includes AES/EBU and ADAT outputs, supporting cascade connections for expanded channel capacity. The inclusion of an auto-ranging word clock input and output further bolsters its capabilities for precise synchronization in complex audio setups, making the PURE DRIVE QUAD an exceptional tool for audio professionals and producers seeking versatile and high-quality recording solutions.
