Blending Focusrite sonic quality with ultra-fast Thunderbolt connectivity, the new Clarett interfaces feature cutting-edge transformer-modeled preamps, crystal-clear conversion, outstanding dynamic range, and vanishingly low (sub-1ms) interface latency that lets you monitor and track in your DAW software without any signal delay. The latency specs handily beat out other interfaces that utilize Core Audio/ASIO drivers, effectively unlocking your DAW’s real-time processing mojo.
Clarett interfaces also sport new preamp designs that model the impedance and transformer resonance of Focusrite’s original ISA transformer-based mic pre, giving you classic Focusrite sound at the touch of a button. All Clarett interfaces feature the same superior dynamic range and class-leading conversion technology. With 24-bit/192kHz sample rates and a world-class dynamic range of 116dB A/D and 118dB D/A, you’ll capture every sonic nuance.
There are four interfaces in the Clarett range, and they all include ADAT optical I/O, MIDI I/O, and headphone outs with dedicated volume pots. If you’re producing music on the go, there’s the 10-in/4-out Clarett 2Pre and 18-in/8-out Clarett 4Pre. The 1U rackmount Clarett 8Pre features 18 ins and 20 outs, word clock out, and detailed hardware metering. The flagship 26-in/28-out Clarett 8PreX features extended ADAT I/O, separate rear-panel mic and line inputs, and detailed hardware metering, as well as dedicated phantom power, polarity invert, and highpass filter on each channel.
