Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre – 10×4 USB Type-C Bus-Powered Audio Interface for Music Production

Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre Overview

Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre USB Type-C audio interface combines upgraded 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), massive dynamic range, and even less distortion than before, the high-performance mic preamps deliver a clean, open, and transparent sound, for accurate reproduction of the original performance.

Compatible For Every OS Device

Clarett+ 2Pre Features two mic,line and 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.

Updated and New Features

Independent A/D and D/A converters bring you closer than ever to your music and let you hear the truth, whether you’re in the studio or on the road. Greatly improved D/A dynamic range enables you to hear every detail and have greater control over your mix. Lower A/D converter distortion lets you capture signals with more clarity, for greater transparency and sonic accuracy.

High-Resolution Conversion

Capture more detail than ever before: The carefully engineered design means Clarett+ 2Pre 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.

Independent Headphone and Line Outputs

There are four balanced 1/4″ TRS line outputs on the rear panel: The first two are configurable to function as monitor outputs or traditional line-level outs. To allow critical listening through headphones, there is a front-panel 1/4″ headphone jack fed by a powerful and tonally linear headphone amp. Separate knobs are provided for quick and independent adjustment of the monitor and headphone volumes.

8-Channel Digital Input

In addition to having flexible analog inputs and outputs, the Clarett+ 2Pre offers a TOSLINK optical input, which can accept an 8-channel ADAT input at up to 48 kHz (four channels at 88.2 / 96 kHz) or a stereo S/PDIF source. Connect any external microphone preamp equipped with an ADAT or S/PDIF output to this optical input to record additional microphones.
