Scarlett - The 4th Generation

The Focusrite Scarlett 4th Generation series surpasses its predecessors with high-fidelity preamps that meticulously capture every nuance of your performance. With a staggering 120dB dynamic range, these new Scarlett interfaces incorporate high-grade converters, the same found in Focusrite’s premium RedNet range.

Harnessing the Power of Air Mode

Part of what sets the 4th Generation Scarlett series apart is its reimagined Air Mode, designed to highlight the unique timbre of your lead vocals or instrumentals. The advanced Air feature saturates your recordings with harmonic richness and a distinct presence, reminiscent of the aura captured by high-end studio consoles.

Intelligent Recording with Auto Gain and Clip Safe

Dialling in the perfect recording levels is effortless with the Auto Gain feature. Record a snippet of your sound and Scarlett will intuitively calibrate the optimal level for your session. Clip Safe runs in parallel, continually monitoring your input levels and autonomously adjusting them to prevent clipping errors, offering a flawless recording experience.

Tailored Playback with Custom Headphone Amp

Playback is revolutionized through Scarlett’s tailor-made headphone amp, offering unparalleled clarity and amplitude. Separate controls allow effortless transitions between headphone and monitor feedback.
