The Focusrite ISA 110 Equaliser and ISA 130 Dynamics Modules were key components in the original Focusrite Studio Console, their specification and versatility found favour among audio engineers the world over. With less than ten Studio Consoles still in existence and the ISA Modules commanding prohibitively high prices on the secondhand market, they have been reintroduced by Brainworx.

The new bx_console Focusrite VST/AU/AAX plug-in for Mac and PC follows the sound, feel and styling of Focusrite’s original iconic hardware and is included with Focusrite’s Clarett and Red audio interfaces.

Modelling the full signal paths of the ISA 110 and ISA 130, bx_console Focusrite brings all the analogue character and colouration of the Focusrite Studio Console to DAW-based productions. Offering four bands of parametric and shelving EQ, high- and low-pass filters, compression/limiting, gating/expansion and de-essing, it improves on the capabilities of the original with modifications including continuously variable THD and Gain controls. Brainworx’s Tolerance Modelling Technology providing 72 selectable modelled circuits can even recreate the subtle timbral variations between channels that exists with the real consoles.

The bx_console Focusrite retails separately for US$349, and is included free with all Clarett and Red interfaces.
