Focusrite was established in 1985 in London, England. When Focusrite was set up to create quality professional recording equipment a ready market was immediately apparent for the ISA 110 microphone preamplifier in studios which featured the leading console of the day, the SSL 4000 E model. Whilst that console was rightly hailed for the best in it's class automation and Total Recall features it came under criticism for the lack of character of the mic pre and EQ elements.
The racks of outboard Focusrite ISA 110 enabled engineers to bypass the SSL inputs and record direct to tape, using the console to monitor and ultimately to mix. The demand for outboard mic pres and EQ took off in a big way.
