Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre 4 Channel Mic Pre with AD/DA Conversion

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.

Clarett+ mic preamps

Four high-headroom, low-noise, low-distortion Clarett+ mic preamps – featuring all-analogue Air with impedence switching and relay control – capture vocals, drums and acoustic instruments with immense clarity. Two JFET instrument inputs let you plug straight in and preservice the natural tone of your guitar, just like plugging into an amplifier.

Independent A-D and D-A converters

Independent A-D and D-A converters bring creators and collaborators closer than ever to their music, with extremely wide dynamic range and low distortion. Greatly improved D-A dynamic range enables you to hear every detail and have greater control over your mix. Incredibly low A-D converter distortion lets you capture signals with more clarity, for greater transparency and sonic accuracy. Two powerful and true-to-life headphone outputs inspire artists to hear every nuance, customise their foldback mix, and perform their best.

Anything, anywhere

Clarett+ 4Pre brings collaborators together, with options to record up to 18 input channels simultaneously. Expand via ADAT using the Clarett+ OctoPre or other outboard hardware. Four analogue outputs and MIDI input and output makes Clarett+ 4Pre the centrepiece of the evolving recording studio.
