Focusrite Group

In 1985, a conversation between George Martin and Rupert Neve sparked the creation of something extraordinary - the Focusrite ISA. The ISA went on to define a generation of recorded sound—setting a benchmark for analogue engineering that still resonates today. For Focusrite, this moment represents more than heritage. It marks the beginning of an ethos that runs across out entire Group: a commitment to constant innovation, pushing technical boundaries, and removing barriers to creativity for creators everywhere. That same philosophy continues to shape how we build, invest, and grow—through trusted brands, category-defining products, and a clear focus on enabling the next generation of music and audio creation.

Last month, our team had an incredible few days at the Audio Developer Conference. As always, the event bought together the brightest minds in audio innovation - and we were proud to return as a Gold Sponsor. This year’s conference covered a wide range of topics, including real-time DSP, AI-driven audio technologies, plugin development, modern audio programming workflows…and even a paper aeroplane competition! A huge thank you to the team who delivered talks and workshops throughout the event: • Matt Morton — Building Better Software Through Cross-Functional Collaboration • James Hallowell — Using C++ Audio Libraries from Rust • Emma Fitzmaurice — Web UIs for Music Apps • Ross Chisholm, Joel Ross & James Hallowell — From Paper to Plugin Alongside the sessions, we were thrilled to host an in-person exhibition space and online booth, showcasing a range of products from across the Group. It was fantastic to meet so many of you, gather feedback, and spark new ideas. We’re already excited to see what ADC 2026 will bring!
