THE ULTIMATE RECORDING PREAMP
Clarett+ interfaces feature professional quality mic preamps, which have very high headroom, low distortion and ultra-low noise; so exceptionally pure recordings can be captured to achieve a professional sound, whether miking guitars, recording vocals or tracking drums.
ALL-ANALOGUE AIR
All-analogue Air with impedance switching and relay control brings clarity and presence, and makes vocals shine, by emulating the ISA 110 mic preamp from the classic Focusrite Studio Console.
CLEAR JUST GOT CLEARER
Improved, high dynamic range A-D and D-A conversion gets you closer to the music, with ultra-low distortion that provides clearer mixes and stunning detail at all levels.
HEAR THE TRUTH
Improved headphone outputs and DAC performance provide powerful, transparent sound at all levels — on any headphones — so producers, engineers and artists can make their best mix decisions and inspire amazing performances.
