Excellent sound is the quality Clarett owners love most. With up to119dB dynamic range, superbly low noise, precision 24/192 conversion and two specially-designed mic preamps with a unique analogue “Air” effect,Clarett 2Pre simply sounds great, easily out-performing other interfaces in its class and beyond. Meanwhile, its astonishing 1.38msround-trip latency* simplifies your workflow and lets you use your favourite plug-ins in real time.Eight New Clarett Mic Pres with extra ‘Air’
The mic pres have been designed specifically for the Clarett range, withplenty of gain, yet low noise and distortion. In addition, they include a special “Air” feature that switches in an analogue model of theclassic transformer-based Focusrite ISA mic pre. The Instrument inputs also feature extra headroom to handle the loudest pickup. It’s theFocusrite Sound over Thunderbolt.Precision Digital Conversion
Clarett features Focusrite’s class-leading 24/192 conversion: with up to119dB dynamic range, Clarett offers the cleanest way yet to get music in and out of your DAW. Simplify your workflow
Clarett’s ultra-low round-trip latency dramatically simplifies your workflow. Instead of having to build two different mixes – one using input monitoring to overdub, the other using the DAW for playback – the good news is that now, one is enough. Build your mix on the DAW and use it whether you’re overdubbing (monitoring the input you’re recording with the new Focusrite Control software mixer) or playing back, with your plugins in place, all the time. Use your favourite plugins while recording, too – whether it’s reverb on a vocal, a guitar amp simulator, or even virtual instruments live on stage.The Heart of the Studio
Specially designed for studio installation, Clarett 8PreX includes separate rear panel inputs for mic, line and instrument, ADAT I/O to add 16 more channels, and dedicated phantom power, phase reverse and high pass filters on every channel.
