Engineered for flexibility
Boasting 18 inputs and eight outputs, Focusrite's Clarett 4Pre gives you access to four great-sounding Clarett mic preamps right on the front panel, along with two high-power headphone outputs with level controls. Those XLR combo connectors also handle hot instrument and line inputs, so you can plug in your active bass or guitar, keyboard workstation, or anything else you want to record into your DAW. Go ahead and add reverb to that vocal as you're rehearsing and recording; this Thunderbolt interface sports impressive round-trip latency that's so low, you can use your DAW plug-ins while monitoring.
Pristine mic pres with extra "Air"
Engineered specifically for the Clarett range, the mic preamps in the Clarett 4Pre deliver gobs of gain, yet extremely low noise and distortion. They also include Focusrite's "Air" circuit that engages an analog model of the company's classic transformer-based ISA mic pre. You'll love the sound of these preamps: sweet, open, and very clean.
Accurate Digital Conversion and Sync
Sweetwater engineers know that conversion is key to superior digital audio, and every Clarett features Focusrite's class-leading 24-bit/192kHz conversion. Offering up to 119dB of dynamic range, Clarett is the easy, clean way to get sound in and out of your DAW.
Intuitive and easy-to-use software mixer
Your Clarett 4Pre comes with Focusrite Control, a powerful software mixer that makes short work of configuring your monitoring and routing setups. Simple and intuitive to use, Focusrite Control offers an easy-to-grasp traditional mixer workflow and gives you immediate access to dim, mute, and other internal hardware functions.
Expand whenever you need to
For maximum flexibility, Focusrite equipped every Clarett interface with an ADAT input you can use to bring in eight additional digital mic preamp channels. This is a perfect way to expand your channel count, by recording drums, for example, via a digital eight-channel mic pre such as the Focusrite OctoPre MkII.
