What is Air Mode?

Air mode is a feature found on the preamps of Focusrite interfaces. Air is the name we give to the sonic signature of the classic transformer-based ISA Preamp. Our customers first coined this name as a simple description of the effect the ISA preamp added to their sound recordings.

The three most significant attributes of the transformer design that create the “Air” effect are:

• ​Microphone interaction is created by the unique input impedance of the transformer coupling with the microphone output impedance.
• Clarity is created by the low distortion and high linearity of the transformer and preamp design.
• The frequency response tilt created by the transformer resonance emphasizes the higher frequency content of the sound.
