3 compact audio interfaces

More dynamics in Focusrite audio interfaces

As an evolution of the successful Clarett series, Focusrite has modernized its 2 Pre, 4 Pre, and 8 Pre audio interfaces and announced them as the Clarett+ series. The D/A converters have been replaced on all three models, which, in conjunction with the output filter circuits, provide a wider dynamic range. This is particularly advantageous for music with high dynamic range fluctuations. In addition, the noise floor of the D/A converters is supposed to be lower.

The A/D converters of the Clarett+ models are also said to allow for very low distortion. The reduced THD+N values at the analog inputs are said to allow for clearer and more transparent recordings and mixes. Quiet source signals that require high gain, such as acoustic strings and delicate voices, are thus captured in greater detail. Included with the purchase are several mixing plug-ins and instruments, recording software, and a Plug-in Collective membership.



Price and availability

The audio interfaces are available in stores now or in October (Clarett+ 4Pre). Clarett+ 2Pre will be offered for 499 Euros, Clarett+ 4Pre is expected to cost 699 Euros. Clarett+ 8Pre is priced at 999 Euros.
