Clarett+ 4Pre is the compact, flexible interface designed to bring pure analogue sound to all your instruments.
The four Clarett preamps have been meticulously engineered to bring authentic large-format studio sound to any recording space. All-analogue Air mode, with impedance switching, recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres, adding clarity and presence to any recording. Two high-impedance JFET instrument inputs preserve your guitar’s true character and feel just like an amp. Independent A-D and D-A converters offer ultra-low distortion and up to 124dB dynamic range. Four balanced outputs are hum-free for pristine monitoring, mixing and mastering with studio monitors. Eight input channels of ADAT allow 4Pre to expand for any recording session. And it comes with some of the best-loved tools in the business – with plugins from legendary Auto-Tune® creators Antares®, Brainworx®, Softube®, Landr, XLN Audio®, Relab and more.

Independent A-D and D-A converters
Independent A-D and D-A converters bring creators and collaborators closer than ever to their music, with extremely wide dynamic range and low distortion. Greatly improved D-A dynamic range enables you to hear every detail and have greater control over your mix. Incredibly low A-D converter distortion lets you capture signals with more clarity, for greater transparency and sonic accuracy. Two powerful and true-to-life headphone outputs inspire artists to hear every nuance, customise their foldback mix, and perform their best.
