Manufacturer's description

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.
