Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen 4-In/4-Out USB Audio Interface (Cubase LE included)
The Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen is a 4-in/4-out USB audio interface built for creators who need more room to record, connect and create. It gives you I/O for mics, guitars, keys, synths, grooveboxes and MIDI gear, with two ultra-low-noise Scarlett preamps, four high-quality line inputs, four line outputs, MIDI I/O and Focusrite’s 4th Gen recording tools.
If you’ve outgrown a smaller interface like a Solo or 2i2, the Scarlett 4i4 gives you a more flexible studio hub for multi-instrument recording, hardware setups, streaming and production. Scarlett brings Focusrite’s professional sound quality to whatever you’re recording, from vocals and guitars to synths, drum machines and podcasts.
Now, new and existing owners get a free digital audio workstation (DAW): Cubase LE. From powerful instruments like HALion Sonic and Groove Agent to 28 different VST effects and more than 20GB of loops and samples, Cubase LE gives you plenty of room to start building tracks straight away.
The Multi-Instrumentalist’s Studio
Set up mics for your voice and guitar and plug into the Scarlett 4i4’s 4th Generation preamps, Focusrite’s clearest and most detailed Scarlett preamps yet, with a huge 69dB gain range. Hook up an electric guitar to one of the Hi-Z instrument inputs and it feels just like an amp.
You can also plug synths, drum machines and grooveboxes straight into the high-quality line inputs. For a more flexible setup, connect your favourite outboard gear or extra monitoring options through the additional line outputs.
Find Your Signature Sound
For standout lead vocal and instrument tracks, the Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen’s re-engineered Air mode brings your sound to the front of the mix. It adds musical presence and rich harmonic drive, giving vocals and instruments that classic big-studio lift.
Let Scarlett Set Your Levels
Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen’s Dynamic Gain Halos make setting levels quick and easy with any mic. Or, select Auto Gain and let Scarlett do it for you. Hit the button, play for ten seconds, and Scarlett will set a healthy level for whatever you’re recording.
Make Every Take A Keeper
While you’re playing, Clip Safe keeps an eye on your levels. It checks them up to 96,000 times a second and automatically adjusts the gain if you’re at risk of clipping, helping you stay in the moment while protecting your takes.
Capture Every Detail with Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen
Hit record and you’re working with 192kHz, 24-bit converters taken from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces, found in high-end studios around the world. That means you can capture vocals, instruments and hardware with impressive detail and clarity.
Now Hear This
A custom-designed headphone amp and huge dynamic range help make playback clear, loud and accurate. Scarlett can drive high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before, while independent headphone and monitor controls make recording, mixing and playback easier to manage.
With four line outputs, you can connect different monitor setups, route audio to outboard gear or build a more flexible studio workflow around the 4i4.
