ultra-low-noise microphone preamp and a Hi-Z instrument input

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Generation features an ultra-low-noise microphone preamp and a Hi-Z instrument input that let you capture a microphone and a guitar at the same time, great for a singer/songwriter. The upgraded, 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters provide a huge dynamic range up to 120 dB, matching the quality you’d find in a pro studio. A selectable Air circuit adds clarity-enhancing brightness and rich harmonic drive to vocals.

Loopback And More

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo Loopback feature lets podcasters, gamers, YouTubers, and streamers mix audio from other apps running on the computer, with the audio being recorded through the interface. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Generation can now work in standalone mode without a computer, useful for live performances or monitoring-only situations.

Portable, Bus Powered, or Standalone

• Compact and lightweight, the Scarlett Solo is also rugged and ready to securely stand on your desktop or travel with you. Being bus powered via USB-C connectivity, it can be used in any room or even remote locations, with your preferred DAW on a Mac/Windows computer or on an iPad Pro equipped with a USB-C port.

4th-Generation Pristine, High-Resolution Conversion

• Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Generation uses the same studio-grade, 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters as Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces, found in countless high-end studios worldwide.

Ultra-Low-Noise Mic Preamp with Air Mode

• The Scarlett XLR mic preamp captures the sound of your microphone with transparency and full detail. Switchable 48V phantom power is onboard to accommodate your favorite condenser mics.
• The selectable Air Mode brings the bright and open sonic signature of a big studio console to your microphones.

Loopback Function for Podcasters

• Loopback lets you record other audio sources from within your computer (e.g., the audio output from a web browser) using the Scarlett’s virtual stereo inputs, which have no physical connectors on the hardware interface itself but may be selected in the DAW as signal sources.
