Equally comfortable in the studio or as part of a mobile rig, the Focusrite Clarett 2Pre USB desktop 10×4 USB Type-C audio/MIDI interface combines 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion with low-latency monitoring and two Air-enabled microphone preamps that can model the sound of the company’s classic ISA preamps. With low noise (-129 dB EIN), low distortion, and a 119 dB dynamic range, the high-performance mic preamps deliver a clean, open, and transparent sound, for accurate reproduction of the original performance.
In addition to the two mic/line/instrument inputs, the interface offers an optical port for digital input expansion (via ADAT or S/PDIF) and MIDI I/O for integration of MIDI equipment such as a keyboard or drum machine. Four line-level outputs and a stereo headphone out let you properly hook up monitors, headphones, and more. The Clarett 2Pre USB includes a software package featuring Ableton Live Lite, Focusrite and Softube plug-ins, 2GB of royalty-free samples, and more. Also provided is the Focusrite Control software that enables you to configure routing and monitor mixes from Mac and Windows computers, or iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch mobile devices.
