That Legendary Focusrite Sound iTrack Dock, like other acclaimed Focusrite interfaces, combines superb analog audio circuitry with the highest precision digital conversion expertise to deliver the best of all possible worlds for today’s iPad-based hit-makers, in both personal studios and world-class facilities across the globe. iTrack Dock features two Focusrite mic pres, which include 48V phantom power for use with condenser microphones. The legendary Focusrite sound embodied in all of Focusrite"s products goes all the way back to 1985, when Rupert Neve was commissioned to build "no compromise" modules for the consoles in Air Studios. Since then, countless hit records have been tracked and mixed through Focusrite gear, which today follows the same design philosophy: Sound is everything. Simple, Sleek Setup Getting started is easy.
