By the time the doors open at NAMM 2008, the optional eight-channel A-D converter card for Focusrite's new ISA828 eight channel pre will be available from all good pro audio stores across the globe. The ISA828 eight channel 192kHz A-D is the first audio A-D converter to utilise Burr-Brown Pro Audio Amplifiers and flagship PCM4220 A-D converter chips.

The card can be retrofitted at any time and, thanks to its convenient 25 pin D-Type connector, integrates seamlessly with ProTools HD as well as other popular hard disk recorders and mixing desks.
