The ISA 430 MKII is a single input analog channel strip that brings together all of Focusrite's classic processor designs in one comprehensive production tool. Apart from the microphone preamp, the unit is augmented with a compressor, limiter, EQ, de-esser and gate, alongside very comprehensive internal routing and connectivity.

The ISA 430 MKII enables today's recording professional to enjoy the unique sonic contribution of these heritage designs within a single, extremely versatile processor.
