Everything you need in a preamp/interface
The Clarett+ 4Pre’s four newly designed mic preamps deliver a truly impressive dynamic range. Perfect for your home recording rig, the Clarett+ 4Pre gives you flexible connectivity — including analog, S/PDIF, and MIDI I/O, plus an ADAT input — all in a sleek desktop form factor. With its sonic performance, leading-edge round-trip audio latency, and ease of use, the Clarett+ 4Pre is an excellent value.
Use your favorite plug-ins in real time
With the Clarett+ 4 Pre’s exceedingly low round-trip audio latency over USB-C, you can record and monitor in real time with your favorite DAW plug-ins. No special processing or DSP is required. Select any plug-in and create your dream recording chain on every single channel. Every Clarett+ ships with the Focusrite Classic Red 2 and Red 3 AAX, AU, and VST plug-in suite, which accurately models Focusrite’s classic Red range EQ and compression hardware.
Newly designed Focusrite mic preamps bring your recordings to life
Focusrite fitted the Clarett+ 4Pre with mic preamps that were designed exclusively for the Clarett+ range with loads of pristine gain and vanishingly low noise. In addition, these preamps include the proprietary Air feature that switches in an analog model of Focusrite’s acclaimed classic transformer-based ISA mic pre, breathing life into your recordings. If you’ve always wanted vocals that shimmer with presence and silky air, then try recording with the Clarett+ 4Pre. You will undoubtedly be impressed.
Accurate digital conversion
Sweetwater engineers know that conversion is key to superior digital audio, and every Clarett+ features the latest in Focusrite’s class-leading 24-bit/192kHz conversion. Offering an expanded dynamic range and higher signal to noise ratio than previous models, the Clarett+ is the cleanest way to get sound in and out of your DAW.
Track the band in a single take
The Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre provides flexible I/O packed into a tidy desktop chassis. This includes four front-panel mic/line inputs (the first two of these are also instrument inputs), and on the real panel, four analog line inputs and outputs, stereo S/PDIF I/O, and eight channels of ADAT optical input. The ADAT input can be used to bring in eight additional digital mic preamp channels, such as the Focusrite OctoPre, for maximum flexibility. The front panel also includes two convenient headphone jacks with level controls.
Expand whenever you need to
For maximum flexibility, Focusrite equipped every Clarett+ interface with an ADAT input, allowing you to bring in eight additional digital mic preamp channels. This is a perfect way to expand your channel count: for instance, recording drums via a digital 8-channel mic pre such as the Focusrite OctoPre.
