Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre USB 18×8 Audio Interface
Versatile and sonically true 18-in/8-out audio interface for the complete creator
Description
Clarett+ 4Pre is the compact, flexible interface designed to bring pure analogue sound to all your instruments.
The four Clarett preamps have been meticulously engineered to bring authentic large-format studio sound to any recording space. All-analogue Air mode, with impedance switching, recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite’s ISA mic pres, adding clarity and presence to any recording. Two high-impedance JFET instrument inputs preserve your guitar’s true character and feel just like an amp. Independent A-D and D-A converters offer ultra-low distortion and up to 124dB dynamic range. Four balanced outputs are hum-free for pristine monitoring, mixing and mastering with studio monitors. Eight input channels of ADAT allow 4Pre to expand for any recording session. And it comes with some of the best-loved tools in the business – with plugins from legendary Auto-Tune® creators Antares®, Brainworx®, Softube®, Landr, XLN Audio®, Relab and more.
