Focusrite Clarett Plus 4 PRE Audio Interface

The Focusrite Clarett Plus 4 PRE brings you a high-performance and immensely capable studio centrepiece for Mac and PC. Offering users with 4x high-quality professional Clarett+ Preamps that deliver masses of headroom, low distortion and ultra-low noise. The new and improved A-D and D-A Converters will maintain the purity of analogue signals with a wide dynamic range and optimal clarity. The Clarett Plus 4 PRE is an 18-IN and 8-OUT audio interface with the inclusion of ADAT, MIDI and S/PDIF support. This powerful studio-grade piece is for any recording artist who desires to create their best work.

Four High-Performance PreAmps

The 4x PreAmps on the Clarett Plus 4 PRE offer pristine gain, high headroom, low noise and low distortion. Exclusively designed for the Clarett+ range they offer the proprietary Air feature that switches in an analog model of Focusrite’s acclaimed classic transformer-based ISA mic pre. It allows for vocals to shine with presence and silky air. It does this by switching the impedance to 2.2k and adding two cumulative high shelves, totalling a 4dB boost in the high frequencies. The all-analogue Air with impedance switching and relay control is great for capturing vocals, drums and acoustic instruments with precise clarity.

When capturing sound through the preamps you can hear every nuance. You are able to capture the clearest and most powerful sounds with abundant headroom and low distortion. The Clarett Plus 4 PRE also features 2x JFET instrument inputs that preserve the natural tone of guitars. These are dedicated ultra-high-impedance instrument inputs featuring an extremely wide audio bandwidth. They mimic guitar amp inputs in order to preserve the natural tone of a guitar and capture its true character.

New and improved A-D and D-A Converters

The newly designed A-D and D-A converters provide artists with an extremely wide dynamic range, low noise and low distortion. Engineers and producers will love the improved D-A converter as it offers a dynamic range that embraces a no-compromise audio quality in abundance. The Clarett Plus 8 PRE will maintain the purity of analogue in your recordings and mixes. The incredibly low A-D converter distortion allows you to capture signals with more clarity which offer greater transparency and sonic accuracy. Additionally, the 2x powerful and transparent headphone outputs offer artists to experience every nuance on any type of headphones. This means that you can customise the foldback mix which in turn results in the headphones performing their best.

Plug-In Suite with Clarett Plus 4 PRE

Included with the Clarett Plus 4 PRE is the RedĀ 2 &Ā Red 3 Plug-in Suite. This suite accurately models the Focusrite Red range of both the equaliser and compressor hardware. The original Red 2 and Red 3 is still regarded as a prized fixture in professional recording studios the world over. They are recognised by producers and engineers for their exceptional clarity and versatility. So you can now have access to these revered pieces as plug-ins on any instrument or bus channel in your own mixes. These plug-in offer users the Focusrite sound with three classic processors from Focusriteā€™s 40 year legacy of precision studio sound.

The Clarett Plus 4 PREĀ  also includes the Brainworx bx_console. This plug-in is an authentic emulation of the classic ISA 110 module which is found in Focusrite Studio Console. Originally created when Sir George Martin asked Rupert Neve for custom modules for AIR Montserrat studios.

Finally, the Focusrite Control software will give you complete control over all aspects of the Clarett Plus 4 PRE. This feature-packed software is easy to use and is compatible with both Mac and PC.

Expand your interface with ADAT-compatible outboard equipment

The Clarett Plus 4 PRE allows you to maintain analogue purity with extreme clarity. This clarity is across the board whether you are multi-tracking a drum kit or connecting a synthesizer or outboard equipment. You can also expand the Clarett Plus 4 PRE via ADAT (Alesis Digital Audio Tape). This will add an additional 8x inputs and outputs using the Clarett OctoPre. Furthermore, the Clarett Plus 4 PREĀ  allows you to maximise your creative potential by offering connections for MIDI and S/PDIF(Sony/Philips Digital Interface) equipment.

You can further expand the Clarett Plus 4 PRE with the Focusrite Clarett OctoPre 8 Channel Mic Pre with AD/DA Conversion.
