8-in/8-out for the complete creator

Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre is a studio-grade audio interface for PC and Mac designed for music creators who demand the highest quality when recording and mixing their tracks.

Clarett+ microphone preamps

Four high-fidelity, low-noise, low-distortion Clarett+ mic preamps - featuring a fully analog circuit with impedance switching and relay control - capture vocals, drums and acoustic instruments with incredible clarity. 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. Two powerful and sonically accurate headphone outputs inspire artists to hear every nuance, fine-tune their mix and deliver their best.

Possibility to increase the number of entries

Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre connects collaborators, with the option to record up to 18 input channels simultaneously. Expandable via ADAT using Clarett OctoPre or other external hardware.
