Description
The Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre USB audio interface brings high-end studio recording capability to music makers everywhere. With four microphone preamps and four instrument inputs, the Clarett+ 4Pre handles vocals, drums, guitar and more with stunning realism. Its newly designed analog circuitry and premium converters provide an ultrawide dynamic range, enabling you to capture the subtlest details of a performance.
Four High-Performance Mic Preamps Handle Any Source
The Clarett+ 4Pre's four mic preamps feature low noise, low distortion and high headroom, allowing you to record vocals, acoustic instruments, drums and amplifiers with lifelike clarity. Their wide gain range ensures an ideal level for any mic. Four front-panel instrument inputs let you plug in your guitar or bass and achieve the warm, responsive tone of playing through an amplifier.
Pristine A/D and D/A Conversion for Transparent Record and Playback
Independent analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters provide an extremely wide dynamic range and low distortion. The improved D/A conversion yields greater detail and control over mixes and recordings. Hear subtle variations and nuances like never before.
Powerful Headphone Amps for Superior Monitoring
The Clarett+ 4Pre's two headphone outputs each deliver 118dB of dynamic range with ultralow distortion, allowing you to monitor recordings with high accuracy. Separate mixes can be created for each headphone output, enabling collaborators to customize their monitoring experience.
Expandable I/O for Complex Recordings
While the Clarett+ 4Pre offers four mic preamps and two instrument inputs, its ADAT optical connectivity allows expansion up to 18 inputs for large-scale recording projects. Four line outputs and MIDI I/O provide connectivity for outboard gear and controllers.
Included Software
Each channel of this Clarett+ interface is equipped with a dedicated insert that lets you keep your favorite rack equipment plugged in and ready to track through. This flexible insert setup lets you add analog gear to your signal chains as needed, but all Clarett+ interfaces also include the Hitmaker Expansion, a studio-grade software bundle that includes powerful mixing plug-ins and virtual instruments. Plus, you get an Avid Pro Tools Intro+ perpetual license, access to Ableton Live Lite and a free 3-month Splice Sounds subscription.

These are the best sounding interfaces under $1000

The sound going straight into this preamp is noticeably better sounding than a scarlett. Sounds great plugging straight in with guitar or bass. Looking forward to trying a neve in front of it and capturing some studio ready DI at home. Pretty amazed these go half price used.
So Far, Great Unit

Great AD/DA conversion with high dynamic range. Makes mixing and referencing a joy to listen. Midi IO, high quality inputs on combo jacks and Adat to add more channels with additional preamps with a slick quality build. One of the best audio interface I've enjoyed thoroughly tracking with.
