FOCUSRITE Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen

Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen – a 4-in/4-out USB-C audio interface for multi-instrumentalists and producers, featuring two ultra-low-noise microphone preamps, independent headphone and monitor mixes, loopback, MIDI I/O, and advanced recording features like Auto Gain and Clip Safe.

The Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen is designed for creators who work with multiple instruments and external hardware. Two detailed Scarlett preamps provide 69 dB of gain and ultra-low noise, ideal for professional microphones. Plug in guitars via Hi-Z inputs that emulate amp behavior, connect synths and grooveboxes through high-quality line inputs, and use MIDI for full control of your studio setup.

Auto Gain sets optimal recording levels, while Clip Safe prevents distortion by dynamically adjusting gain. Two redesigned Air modes – Presence and Harmonic Drive – add analog console-style warmth and clarity to your recordings. The interface also supports loopback for podcasting and live streaming.

With flagship-grade 120 dB dynamic range converters and a powerful headphone amplifier, Scarlett 4i4 delivers exceptional monitoring quality. Included Hitmaker Expansion software bundle equips you with industry-leading plugins to produce release-ready tracks from day one.
