Focusrite Introduces New Line of Clarett+ Interfaces

Focusrite Clarett+

Focusrite is proud to introduce the Clarett+ range of premium-quality USB audio interfaces for PC and Mac, which build on the strengths of the previous Clarett ranges. With improved converters and professional quality mic preamps, Clarett+ 2Pre, 4Pre and 8Pre interfaces inspire producers, engineers, and artists to make their best music.


​The Ultimate Recording Preamp

Clarett+ interfaces feature professional quality mic preamps, which have very high headroom, low distortion, and ultra-low noise; so exceptionally pure recordings can be captured, whether miking guitars, recording vocals or tracking drums.

All-Analogue Air

All-analogue Air with impedance switching and relay control brings clarity and presence, and makes vocals shine, by emulating the ISA 110 mic preamp from the classic Focusrite Studio Console.

​Clear just got clearer

Improved high-dynamic-range A-D and D-A conversion with ultra-low distortion provides clearer mixes and stunning detail at all levels.

Hear the truth

Improved headphone outputs and DAC performance offer powerful, transparent sound at all levels — on any headphones — so producers, engineers and artists can make their best mix decisions and inspire amazing performances.

A collection of software, including mixing plug-ins and virtual instruments, offers all the tools needed for the user to master their craft.
