A clear-sounding 10-in/4-out audio interface for the recording artist

Whether you're recording vocals and instruments or composing in the box, Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre is a clear-sounding, bus-powered* USB-C interface for PC and Mac that you can take with you on your creative journey.

Clarett+ microphone preamps

Two Clarett+ mic preamps – equipped with an analog Air circuit with impedance switching and relay control – capture brilliantly clean recordings with high headroom, low distortion and ultra-low noise. Two JFET instrument inputs allow you to connect directly and maintain the natural sound of your guitar, just like connecting to an amplifier.

Independent AD and DA converters

Independent AD and DA 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. The significantly improved dynamic range of DA allows you to hear every detail and have greater control over your mix. The lower distortion of the AD converter captures signals with greater purity, providing greater audio clarity and accuracy.

Possibility to increase the number of entries
