Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre audio interface

‌PURE-SOUNDING 10-IN / 4-OUT AUDIO INTERFACE FOR THE RECORDING ARTIST

Whether recording vocals and instruments or composing in the box, Clarett+ 2Pre is the pure-sounding, bus-powered* USB-C interface for PC and Mac to take with you on your creative journey.

CLARETT⁺ MIC PREAMPS

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

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.
