Product Information
Focusrite Clarett + 8 Pre USB Audio Interface
Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre is a premium-quality USB audio interface for PC and Mac. The Plus range builds on the previous with the improvement of the A-D / D-A conversion and headphone outputs / DAC performance. These improvements make for an even more transparent recording experience; now you can capture pristine audio with the utmost accuracy. The all analogue Air mic preamps, modelled on the ISA 110 mic preamp from the classic Focusrite Studio Console, make vocals shine. The Clarett + 8Pre's extensive connectivity - dual XLR ports, 2 JFET instrument inputs, two line outputs, MIDI I/O & an ADAT input - make this an all in one recording solution. The Clarett+ Series also comes with a free Pro Tools Artist trial too, so if you want only the best of the best in your studio, Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre is the recording interface for you!

Eight Clarett Preamps with All Analogue Air Feature
Eight high-headroom, low-noise, low-distortion Clarett+ mic preamps — featuring All-analogue Air with impedance switching and relay control — capture vocals, drums and acoustic instruments with precise clarity. Two JFET instrument inputs preserve the natural tone of guitars, just like plugging into an amplifier.
Make vocals shine with all-analogue Air
Independent A-D and D-A converters bring recording artists closer than ever to their music, with extremely wide dynamic range, low noise and low distortion. Greatly improved D-A dynamic range brings every detail into focus, so engineers and producers can embrace no-compromise audio quality in abundance. Incredibly low A-D converter distortion lets you capture signals with more clarity, for greater transparency and sonic accuracy. Two improved, powerful and true-to-life headphone outputs inspire artists to hear every nuance of their sound on any type of headphones, customise their foldback mix, and perform their best.
ADAT optical input
Whether you’re multi-tracking a drum kit or connecting to synths and outboard equipment, Clarett+ 8Pre lets you constantly develop your musical ideas while always maintaining analogue purity and extreme audio clarity. Expand via ADAT to add eight inputs and outputs using Clarett OctoPre, and connect to MIDI and S/PDIF equipment to maximise your creative potential.
