Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre – 18-in/8-out USB-C audio interface for creators demanding studio-grade fidelity, featuring four ultra-low-noise Clarett+ preamps, independent A-D and D-A converters, JFET instrument inputs, ADAT expandability, and the acclaimed Hitmaker Expansion plugin bundle.
The Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre is a professional audio interface designed for producers and musicians who prioritize sonic detail and workflow flexibility. With four high-performance Clarett+ microphone preamps featuring relay-controlled analog circuitry, it delivers clean recordings with wide dynamic range and low distortion. The fully analog impedance switching and ISA-inspired Air mode allow vocals and acoustic instruments to shine with clarity and depth.
Independent A-D and D-A converters ensure pristine capture and monitoring, with exceptionally low THD and up to 124 dB dynamic range on the line outputs. Two JFET instrument inputs accurately preserve the tone and character of guitars, mimicking the behavior of classic amp inputs. Dual headphone outputs deliver powerful and transparent sound for critical monitoring or artist performance.
Clarett+ 4Pre supports up to 18 simultaneous inputs via ADAT expansion, making it an ideal centerpiece for growing studios. The included Hitmaker Expansion provides a full suite of creative tools — from vocal tuning and amp modeling to reverb, delay, EQ, and mastering plugins — by top brands like Antares, Brainworx, Softube, XLN Audio, and Relab.
