Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre is an 18 in / 20 out premium audio interface with 8 mic preamps and a stack of extra features to elevate your recordings.
Around the back, you have 10 line outputs via 1/4″, S/PDIF i/o, ADAT i/o, MIDI i/o and mic/line inputs 3-8 via XLR / jack combo input.
Front panel is looks like a control centre. Let’s take a quick peep:
Two XLR/Jack combo inputs, with individual controls for gain, along with indicators to show if you’re in instrument mode (using the JFET inputs for natural tone). There are also gain knobs for mic/line inputs 3-8, with indicators to show if you’re are recording with or without AIR mode engaged.
There is a metering panel for the 8 mic preamps (and L&R outputs) with monitor level control, plus the two 1/4″ headphone jack outputs, each with volume control – and a power switch.
Get the sound of iconic Focusrite hardware:

Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite accurately models Focusrite’s classic Red range equaliser and compressor hardware. Coveted by producers and engineers for their exceptional clarity and versatility, the original Red 2 and Red 3 remain prized fixtures in professional recording studios the world over.
