Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre

Full Description

Powerful mic preamps with 'Air' for added sparkle

The Clarett+ 4Pre incorporates four microphone preamps with a low-distortion, ultra-linear design that has been specially crafted to deliver a clean, transparent, and powerful sound. Record guitars, vocals, and more through the four ultra-low noise Clarett+ mic preamps, which provide you with incredibly accurate audio. The preamps have been improved from earlier versions, now complete with impedance switching and relay control for maximum flexibility.

The Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre delivers up to 118dB dynamic range and 24-bit/192kHz A-D and D-A conversion, making it a first choice for capturing audio to your DAW.
