“With such a wealth of features and excellent sound, it should be no surprise that the Octane took the award for best preamp this year.”
- Electronic Musician - January 2005
- Electronic Musician - January 2005
“The Octane’s preamps are impressively quiet, even when cranked right up, and as such allow you to really make use of the full amount of available gain; particularly useful when capturing very quiet sound sources.”
- FutureMusic/September 2004
- FutureMusic/September 2004
“Octane is a solid product with a good collection of features and a good value. Anyone with a vacant ADAT digital input would do well to try it out.”
- MIX/September 2004
- MIX/September 2004
“M-Audio’s product designers seem to have an uncanny knack for recognizing what musicians and project studio owners want, and giving it to us at a price that’s hard to beat. Octane is a perfect example. If your studio is lightpipe-equipped, Octane will be one of those Swiss Army knife-like tools for which you’ll find numerous uses.”

"I recently signed a deal with Triloka Records. There isn't a single track on my new record that wasn't run through my pair of TAMPAs or through my new Octane. I knew M-Audio was onto something when analog guys started telling me how warm and rich my stuff sounded."
