About Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre

With the Clarett+ 4Pre 8-Channel 18-In/8-Out Audio Interface, you can transform your PC or Mac into a professional-grade recording studio. This high-performance audio interface is engineered for musicians and audio creators who demand superior quality while recording and mixing their audio masterpieces.

The Clarett+ 4Pre features four high-headroom, low-noise, low-distortion mic preamps, equipped with All-analogue Air technology, impedance switching, and relay control. These features work together to capture vocals, drums, and acoustic instruments with exceptional clarity.

The interface also includes two JFET instrument inputs, allowing you to plug in your guitar directly and preserve its natural tone, similar to plugging into an amplifier. The independent A-D and D-A converters offer an extremely wide dynamic range and low distortion, bringing you closer to your music than ever before.

The Clarett+ 4Pre is designed to facilitate collaboration, with the ability to record up to 18 input channels simultaneously. You can expand your setup via ADAT using the Clarett OctoPre or other outboard hardware. With four analogue outputs and MIDI input and output, the Clarett+ 4Pre can serve as the heart of your evolving recording studio.

This audio interface also includes a suite of software that emulates iconic Focusrite hardware. The Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC is an authentic emulation of the classic ISA 110 module found in Focusrite Studio Console. The Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite accurately models Focusrite's classic Red range equaliser and compressor hardware.

Key features of the Clarett+ 4Pre include professional-quality preamps, All-Analogue Air technology for shining vocals, new and improved A-D and D-A converters, powerful and transparent headphone output, and two JFET instrument inputs.

The Clarett+ 4Pre also offers ADAT optical input for expandability, Focusrite Plug-In Collective for regular software discounts and exclusives, and Focusrite Control software for complete control over all aspects of the interface.

Included software features Antares Auto-Tune Access, Relab LX480 Essentials, Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2: Studio Rock Kit, Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC, Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, and a three-month Avid Pro Tools Intro+ Subscription with Complete Plugin Bundle.

Avid Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite
