Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre Overview

Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre Features eight mic and line preamps two with Hi-Z capability, the interface offers ADAT and S/PDIF I/O for digital input and output expansion, MIDI I/O for integration of MIDI equipment such as a keyboard or drum machine, and a BNC wordclock output for syncing other digital gear. Stereo monitor outputs, two headphone outs, and eight line outputs let you properly hook up monitors, headphones, and outboard processors.

Great Large studio and Live Projects

With its 1 RU size, USB Type-C connectivity, and AC powering (via the included power cable), the Clarett+ 8Pre is well suited for bands, project studios, and large home setups in need of plenty of analog and digital I/O in a rackmountable form factor.

Conversion

Capture more detail than ever before; the carefully engineered design means the Clarett+ 8Pre gives you stunning results. At a class-leading 124 dB dynamic range, the ultralow-noise 24-bit / 192 kHz converters give your recordings clarity and nuance.

Clarett+ Mic Preamps

Capture clear and powerful recordings with preamps that bring masses of headroom, low distortion, and ultralow noise. Phantom power is switchable for channels 1-4 and 5-8, so you can use dynamic or condenser microphones as you desire.

Tone-Enhancing Analog Air Circuitry

Premium, relay-controlled analog circuitry on every preamp emulates the classic Focusrite ISA 110 by switching the impedance to 2.2 kilohms and adding two cumulative high shelves, totaling a 4 dB boost in the high frequencies.

Software Instrument/Line Input Switches

At the press of a button in the control software, the first two 1/4″ inputs can be used for line-level sources (like a mixer’s stereo output or the line outs from guitar and bass amps) or direct connection of instruments such as electric guitar and bass, synthesizers, or drum machines—no need for DI boxes.

Rear-Panel Line Inputs

With six XLR-1/4″ combo mic/line inputs on the back of the Clarett+ 8Pre, you can patch in line-level sources such as external mic preamps, an outboard mixer, or synthesizer sound modules while leaving the front-panel inputs free for direct connection of mics, instruments, or other line-level sources.
