Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre

The new and improved Clarett+ 8 Pro audio interface is the successor to the successful Clarett product line, suitable for home recording studios, music producers and musicians. Thanks to its compact size and USB power option, it will also find use on the road. It has A/D and D/A converters with a maximum resolution of up to 24-bit/192kHz and a dynamic range of up to 118dB. The AIR circuit emulates the impedance and resonance characteristics of the input transformers of the legendary ISA110 series studio preamplifiers. This results in an airy and clear sound with ultra-low distortion and minimal noise, amounting to only -110 dB. Another special feature is the Gain potentiometers with a perfectly linear gain waveform. Then, of course, there is the 48V phantom power supply.

The Clarett+ 8 Pre has eight combined microphone and instrument Hi-Z inputs. The ADAT interface accommodates a further 10 inputs. There are 10 line TRS outputs, two of which can be used for monitoring with anti-thump technology. Connectivity is extended by two headphone outputs, S/PDIF, WordClock and MIDI In/Out. The new USB-C allows direct power without the need for a DC adapter, however an adapter is included for when connecting via USB 2.0 and higher. A pair of USB cables and a software package of music applications, including a rich library of sounds and samples, complete the equipment.
