The Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre desktop 10x4 USB Type-C audio/MIDI interface is equally adept in both studio settings and mobile configurations. It features enhanced 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, low-latency monitoring, and two Air-enabled microphone preamps that emulate the renowned sound of the classic ISA preamps. With an impressive low noise level of -129 dB EIN, a wide dynamic range, and reduced distortion, these high-performance mic preamps provide a clean, open, and transparent audio quality, ensuring precise reproduction of the original performance. The interface is equipped with two mic/line/instrument inputs, along with an optical port that facilitates digital input expansion through ADAT or S/PDIF connections, as well as MIDI I/O for the integration of MIDI devices such as keyboards or drum machines. It features four line-level outputs and a stereo headphone output, allowing for the proper connection of monitors, headphones, and additional equipment. The Clarett+ 2Pre comes bundled with a software package that includes Focusrite Red plug-ins and a channel strip that faithfully emulates the rare Focusrite Studio Console. Additionally, the Focusrite Control software is provided, enabling users to configure routing and monitor mixes from Mac and Windows computers, as well as from mobile devices such as iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches. New to the Clarett+ Standalone A/D and D/A converters enhance your musical experience, allowing you to perceive the authenticity of sound, whether in a studio setting or while traveling. The significantly enhanced dynamic range of the D/A converters allows for the discernment of intricate details and provides improved control over your mixing process. Additionally, the reduced distortion in the A/D converters facilitates the capture of signals with increased clarity, resulting in superior transparency and sonic precision. Great for Expanding Home Studios The Clarett+ 2Pre is ideally designed for home studios requiring additional input and output options without occupying excessive desk space. Its compact dimensions, USB Type-C connectivity (with both USB Type-C and Type-A cables provided), expandable inputs through ADAT, and the flexibility of AC or bus powering make it a practical choice for such environments. Pristine, High-Resolution Conversion Capture more detail than ever before: The carefully engineered design means Clarett+ 2Pre gives you stunning results. At a class-leading 124 dB dynamic range, the ultralow-noise 24-bit / 192 kHz converters give your recordings clarity and nuance. Clarett+ Mic Preamps Capture clear and powerful recordings with preamps that bring masses of headroom, low distortion, and ultralow noise. Phantom power is switchable per channel, so you can use dynamic or condenser microphones as you desire. Tone-Enhancing Analog Air Circuitry Premium, relay-controlled analog circuitry on every preamp emulates the classic Focusrite ISA 110 by switching the impedance to 2.2 kilohms and adding two cumulative high shelves, totaling a 4 dB boost in the high frequencies. JFET Instrument Inputs Dedicated ultrahigh-impedance JFET instrument inputs, featuring an exceptionally broad audio bandwidth, replicate the characteristics of guitar amplifier inputs to maintain the authentic tone of guitars and accurately capture their inherent qualities. Software Instrument/Line Input Switches With a simple press of a button in the control software, each 1/4" input can accommodate line-level sources, such as the stereo output from a mixer or the line outputs from guitar and bass amplifiers. Additionally, these inputs can be directly connected to instruments, including electric guitars, basses, synthesizers, or drum machines, eliminating the necessity for DI boxes. Straightforward Controls and Level Indication The Clarett+ 2Pre's independent gain knobs and bicolor gain halo meters mean that you'll have no trouble setting up and dialing in the perfect levels. Independent Headphone and Line Outputs There are four balanced 1/4" TRS line outputs on the rear panel: The first two are configurable to function as monitor outputs or traditional line-level outs. To allow critical listening through headphones, there is a front-panel 1/4" headphone jack fed by a powerful and tonally linear headphone amp. Separate knobs are provided for quick and independent adjustment of the monitor and headphone volumes. MIDI I/O Spin the Clarett+ 2Pre around, and you'll find traditional 5-pin MIDI I/O ports, perfect for hooking up a MIDI keyboard controller, a synthesizer/workstation, or a sound module, for MIDI recording, editing, and sequencing. 8-Channel Digital Input The Clarett+ 2Pre not only features adaptable analog inputs and outputs but also includes a TOSLINK optical input. This input is capable of receiving an 8-channel ADAT signal at a maximum of 48 kHz (or four channels at 88.2 / 96 kHz) as well as a stereo S/PDIF source. By connecting an external microphone preamp that has an ADAT or S/PDIF output to this optical input, users can record additional microphones. Two Powering Options The Clarett+ 2Pre includes an external power supply to ensure its proper operation. Alternatively, the interface can be bus powered when connected to a 15W USB Type-C port. Powerful Software Control Direct your audio, cue mix, loopback, and monitor mixes from your Mac or Windows computer through the Focusrite Control desktop software. Enhance your convenience by utilizing the Focusrite Control iOS application on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch to remotely manage your Clarett+ 2Pre when it is connected to Focusrite Control Desktop. All the Tools You Need to Start Recording The Clarett line of interfaces comes with some of the best loved software tools in the business.
