The Red 7 is a powerful and versatile direct recording processor, featuring a compressor, de-esser and exciter. It features a single Red Range mic pre, plus a mono channel of the dynamics from the Red 3, with the addition of a de-esser/exciter.
Reviews
Its intention is clearly to be an ideal signal path from vocal microphone to tape, and for this use, as well as many others, it is hard to fault. Build quality is typical of the Red range and everything else from Focusrite, with its outrageously heavy front, back and side panels and stainless steel top and bottom, with the highest quality components inside.
You know where you are with a Focusrite unit, and you get what you pay for- uncompromised engineering and uncompromised quality. The previous red modules have done well both in and out of the studio, with a rare blend of sonic integrity and roadworthiness, and the Red 7 seems sure to follow in their footsteps.
