Focusrite Clarett 4Pre USB 18-in/8-out USB 2.0 Audio Interface

Perfect for the singer-songwriter, Focusrite’s Clarett Pre USB series of interfaces gives you pristine mic/instrument/line preamps, state-of-the-art 192kHz/24-bit digital conversion, and ultra-low round-trip latency, so you can use your DAW plug-ins for monitoring. Focusrite have engineered the Clarett Pre’s with front-panel multi-function inputs, rear-panel line outputs, ADAT digital input, MIDI I/O, and headphone output to deliver incredibly low noise and distortion, and they’ve also included their “Air” effect, which models the sound of the company’s acclaimed ISA transformer-based preamps.

The Focusrite Clarett Pre USB series is the easiest way to get great-sounding recordings, and these units are a major challenge to interfaces costing twice as much. You also get Focusrite Control software mixer, Red 2 & Red 3 AAX, AU & VST Plug-in Suite, Softube Time and Tone Bundle, 2GB of Loopmasters samples, a choice of one free XLN Addictive Keys virtual instrument via download upon purchase and registration, and monthly software plug-in offers from Focusrite’s Plug-In Collective via download upon purchase and registration
