Isa & May

Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
The curiously named Isamay, a would-be academic, is trying to write a coherent thesis about grandmothers in history from Sarah Bernhardt and George Sand to the matriarchal Queen Victoria and other influential grannies while constantly ambushed by the secrets her own family has been keeping. Margaret Forster, in this engaging, intriguing novel, about a young woman and two grandmothers, uncovers the shocking truths that family history reveals. The curiously named Isamay, a would-be academic, is trying to write a coherent thesis about grandmothers in history from Sarah Bernhardt and George Sand to the matriarchal Queen Victoria and other influential grannies while constantly ambushed by the secrets her own family has been keeping. An only child, she is named after her grandmothers, Isa and May, who were there at her birth and who have formed and influenced her in very different ways. Jealous of each other, they both want to be first in their granddaughters affections. Isa has an edge, in that young Isamay looks like her, but Isas reserved and elegant exterior hides startling surprises that could undermine her granddaughters certainties. May, on the other hand, is plump, indomitable and opinionated, and its from her that Isamay inherits her stubborn determination. Isamay, almost thirty, has never wanted children, but suddenly considers changing her mind. Her live-in lover, Ian (always mysterious about his own family history) is sure that he does not want a child. Engrossing, set in the present but with hooks into the past, this is an unusual story about grandmothers and their potentially powerful role in family life, about nature vs nurture, bloodlines and bridges across generations.

Today Focusrite design equipment for a far greater audience from professionals to amateur enthusiasts all with varying budgets.As with the Classic ISA mic pre used in both the ISA and Red ranges the Saffire mic pre found in the Octo Pre Mk II Dynamic is designed to the highest possible standards. It upholds the same wide bandwidth philosophy featured in the original forté console back in 1989. As with the Classic ISA mic pre the Saffire mic pre design features custom components which have undergone an intense testing and qualification process.With the facts and figures in Focusrite designs then have to pass the essential listening stage. Any design can measure well on the test bench but only a great design can be qualified in the studio. The FET-based Saffire mic pre design is no exception. It delivers clarity without colouration and exhibits the signature transparency for which Focusrite have become famous.With the high channel count interfaces (Saffire PRO 40 and Liquid Saffire 56) and both the Octo Pre Mk II and Octo Pre Mk II Dynamic the Saffire pre-amp has been optimized for drums. The theoretical maximum level of a microphone was calculated and the mic pre was adjusted with this in mind so as not to clip with this level present set to minimum gain. As a result the mic pre wont clip even with a high output level mic right up close to a snare drum (the mic input will accept signal levels up to +16d BU from a microphone).Features/Specifications:Eight award-winning Focusrite pre-amps - Focusrites unparalleled pre-amp legacy forms the foundation of this new device with pre-amps optimized to handle extreme levels from sound sources like acoustic drums.Eight single-dial Focusrite Compressors - A single dial gets you to the right amount of compression fast.
