The Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB is an audio interface that features 18-inputs and 8-outputs. This interface has been designed to give you high-quality recordings with low-noise and distortion alongside a smooth frequency response across the whole spectrum.
The Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB is an audio interface that comes with 18-inputs alongside 8-outputs and features specially designed high performing, low-noise (-128dB EIN) microphone pre-amplifiers with super-low distortion and has a linear design that guarantees a crystal clear, open transparent sound which gives an accurate representation of your original performance. This interface boasts a 119dB dynamic range as well as a smooth frequency response across the whole spectrum and can now be experienced with any Mac or PC thanks to the USB 2.0 connection.
The Clarett range is critically-acclaimed for its excellent sound quality; this is partly due to the specially designed microphone pre-amplifiers with the unique ‘Air’ effect when this effect is enabled the mic pre-amps work to reproduce the input impedance, clarity and frequency response curve of the original ISA microphone pre-amp. You also get Focusrite’s ultra-precise digital conversion, a carefully balanced noise floor, huge dynamic range, smooth frequency response and super-low distortion, all working together to give you the best possible sound to and from your DAW. The Clarett 4Pre USB also comes with loads of free software including: Addictive Keys, Focusrite’s Red 2 & 3 Plug-In Suite, Softube’s Marshall® Silver Jubilee 2555 and Focusrite’s Plug-In Collection.
The Clarett 4Pre USB allows you to capture every detail and subtle nuance thanks to the decades of analogue circuit design experience that is applied to the 24-bit/192kHz analogue-digital and digital-analogue converters and delivers a far superior signal path than its similarly-priced counterparts. The four microphone/line inputs feature gain halo meters that make it super-easy to set the input level, two of the mic/line inputs are high-impedance which means they can record super-hot pickups without any unwanted distortion. This interface also features four fixed inputs while the ADAT input supports an additional eight channels when combined with a multi-channel microphone pre-amplifier such as the Clarett OctoPre. The outputs on the 4Pre include two monitor outputs with anti-thump technology, a headphone output with volume control and two line outputs as well as a MIDI in/output.
