Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre 18-in / 20-Out USB Audio Interface Recorder

Whether recording vocals and instruments or composing in the box, Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre 18-in / 20-Out USB Audio Interface Recorder is the audibly impressive, pure-sounding, bus-powered (15W USB-C capabilities required for bus-powered operation) USB-C interface for PC and Mac to take with you on your creative journey.

Two Clarett+ mic preamps — featuring All-analogue Air with impedance switching and relay control — capture superbly clear recordings with high headroom, low distortion, and ultra-low noise. Two JFET instrument inputs let you plug straight in and preserve the natural tone of your guitar, just like plugging into an amplifier. Independent A-D and D-A converters bring you closer than ever to your music and let you hear the truth, whether you’re in the studio or on the road.

Greatly improved D-A dynamic range enables you to hear every detail and have greater control over your mix. Lower A-D converter distortion lets you capture signals with more clarity, for greater transparency and sonic accuracy. Clarett+ 2Pre is the interface that accompanies you as you grow. Expandable using ADAT, you can connect devices such as Clarett OctoPre for a 10-input tracking environment. Your Clarett+ 2Pre comes with Ableton Live Lite and the Hitmaker Expansion, an unbeatable range of tried-and-tested studio tools from some of the biggest names in the business.

The Hitmaker Expansion includes: Antares Auto-Tune Access, Relab LX480 Essentials, Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2, Brainworx bx_oberhausen, Three Month Splice Sounds Subscription, Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC, Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, Brainworx bx_masterdesk, and Access to Focusrite’s Plug-In Collective; all upon purchase, registration, and download.
