Overview video upload by Instruō

"After an 8 year development cycle... Introducing the íre!

The Instruō íre is your gateway to bringing the outside world into your Eurorack system. Designed for seamless, plug-and-play integration, íre lets you connect microphones, electric instruments, and line-level sources directly into the modular synthesizer ecosystem with both colour and clarity.

At its core, íre features a high-quality preamp architecture, using a FET design for instrument- and line-level sources, and a transformer input design for microphones. Equipped with essentials such as phantom power, pad, and high-pass filtering, it ensures pristine gain staging and rumble elimination for any source. Additionally, its built-in envelope follower and comparator allow it to transform incoming audio into dynamic control signals, unlocking compelling ways to interact with your Eurorack synthesiser.

The Instruō íre is your gateway to bringing the outside world into your Eurorack system. Designed for seamless, plug-and-play integration, íre lets you connect microphones, instruments, and even line-level sources directly into your modular ecosystem with both clarity and colour.

íre is both a high-quality transformer input preamp for microphones, equipped with essentials such as phantom power and -20dB pad, as well as a tube-like FET preamp for the instrument/line channel inputs. Individual gain and level controls and a 80Hz high-pass filter ensure pristine or characterful gain staging for any source. Additionally, with its built-in envelope follower and comparator, íre transforms incoming audio into dynamic control signals, unlocking interesting ways to interact with your modular system.

íre | noun (level) a stage within a process; a position within an unfolding flow of change.
