| I'm not all sure what you mean the the RED was not supposed to be the top in 1997.
I'm kind of guessing the at you are referring to the blue series....the ISA 110 and 115.
I think the Blue series were the first focusright rack mounted products, essentially using Rupert Neve's designs from the Forte console.. The original down market product was the green series.
When the RED series came around, it was supposed to be as Top of the line as the Blue, but it was meant to transition the line away from Neve designs to something new, but equally high end. They certainly were PRICED high end.
I have zero problem with the way the Red series sound myself I own an original Blue ISA115, which is a fabulous unit, espesially for the EQ, but I like the RED equally as much. |
