Scarlett Solo Studio Pack
It takes more than great ideas to start recording music. You also need an audio interface, a microphone, headphones, recording software and cables. Save time, effort and expense by choosing the Scarlett Solo Studio Pack. It's everything you need to start recording with Focusrite's legendary quality sound on your Mac or PC: audio interface, headphones and studio-quality condenser microphone. There's even a mic cable.

Excellence at the heart
Scarlett Solo Studio Pack is based around the Scarlett Solo interface that simply connects to your computer via USB to feed high-quality audio into and out of your computer. Like all Scarlett interfaces, Scarlett Solo is fully compatible with Macintosh (including Yosemite) and Windows computers and, with the included Red 2 and Red 3 AAX plugins, it's a perfect partner for Pro Tools.

Record with Legendary Sound
Scarlett Solo is part of the best-selling range of USB audio interfaces in the world, providing the perfect combination of top-quality precision digital conversion and Focusrite's legendary mic preamps. Precision digital conversion means that you capture the most accurate, best-possible-sounding performance. And the mic pre inside the Scarlett Solo's elegant, rugged and compact aluminum case is a genuine Focusrite microphone preamp with a 30-year heritage, specially designed for their interfaces to capture the most stunning vocals and acoustic instruments possible.

Everything You Need
In addition to the interface, the pack includes a large diaphragm CM25 condenser microphone (plus cable and stand clip) for capturing beautifully-detailed vocals and acoustic instruments and professional closed-back HP60 headphones that block out distracting outside noise to let you focus on recording and mixing your music. In addition, there's all the software you need to get started, including Cubase recording software and their Scarlett plug-in suite for mixing your recordings.

Quality recordings - whenever you want
Whenever inspiration strikes, simply plug the mic into input one and your instrument -whether it's a guitar/bass or a keyboard - straight into input two (no need for a DI box!) and start making crystal-clear recordings. The unique "halos" around the input level controls will stay green when your level is good and turn red if you get too loud. To hear exactly what you're recording without any distracting latency, just flick the direct monitor switch.

Record anywhere
Compact, light and tough enough to take anywhere, you can set up Scarlett Solo in seconds and record wherever you like. You won't even need to carry a power supply, because it's powered by your computer via USB.

Contains Everything You Need
Includes a Scarlett Solo interface, a CM25 condenser microphone with stand clip, professional quality HP60 headphones, a three metre mic cable and all the software you need to get started.

Record with Sound
Plug into four decades of analogue audio equipment design. Focusrite microphone preamps are considered by many to be the best in the world and provide +48V phantom power, so you can use any mic you like.

Capture Every Detail
Precision convertors transform your live performance into studio-quality 24-bit resolution digital audio, with sample rates of up to 96kHz and an exceptional dynamic range of over 105dB.

Record Anywhere
Sleek, lightweight and tough enough to throw into your backpack, the stunning metal case is designed for life on the road.

Power with USB
Simply connect to your Mac or PC via USB and start recording, without the need for a bulky power supply.

Plug Any Instrument Straight In
Whenever inspiration strikes, plug straight into an exceptionally high quality DI that minimizes the risk of distortion. Alternatively, switch to line level to instantly connect your mono analogue synth or outboard gear to the rest of your studio.

Immerse Yourself in Sound
Connect the professional recording headphones and your own speakers to immerse yourself in Focusrite-quality sound, using the large volume dial to set the perfect level.

Always Get the Right Level
Get a clean recording every time by keeping an eye on the halos around the gain knobs. They stay green when your level is good and turn red if you're too loud.

Record Better Vocals
The slight delay between your singing and the sound of your voice in your headphones can be very distracting. Simply flick a switch to hear exactly what you're recording without any of this latency.

Start Recording Immediately
Comes with all the software and sounds you need to start recording and mixing music, including Cubase recording software, Focusrite Scarlett plug-in suite, Novation's Bass Station virtual synthesizer and 1GB of Loopmasters sample content..
