Overview

An exceptional audio interface with 4 combo inputs, 6 line outputs and up to 12 extended digital inputs via ADAT. Great for a home or project studio.

Focusrite's Clarett audio interfaces feature high-performance, low-noise mic preamps with a low-distortion, ultra-linear design, 24-bit/192kHz digital conversion and extra headroom to handle the loudest pickup possible. This guarantees a clean, open and transparent sound. Additionally, each Clarett mic pre has a unique “Air” switch, which, when initialized, will emulate Focusrite’s classic transformer-based preamps.

The Clarett 4Pre offers 4 combination XLR/TRS inputs; 4 line outputs; S/PDIF and MIDI I/O; and up to 8 channels of additional digital inputs via ADAT. The iconic red front panel boasts a large rotary-style master fader and two headphone inputs with designated rotary controls for the headphone volume. Inputs 1 and 3 have their own phantom power switch and rotary gain dials giving optimal control over the level you send to your DAW. To protect against clipping, the Clarett 4Pre features Focusrite’s signature “Gain Halo”—an illuminated ring around the gain control dial that lights up green when there’s signal and red when that signal is too high.

With its outstanding high-resolution conversion, versatile preamps and extensive digital input connectivity, Focusrite's 4Pre will deliver incredible audio quality for a whole host of applications.

Configure your routing and monitor mixes from Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone or iPod touch with user-friendly control software Focusrite Control. 

The Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC plug-in is included free with all Clarett interfaces, and registered users get monthly offers from the Plug-In Collective.
