The 4th-gen Focusrite Scarlett Solo gives songwriters plenty of reasons to upgrade their previous-generation interface, such as an updated mic preamp, RedNet-derived AD/DA conversion, Dynamic Gain Halos, and more.

Studio-quality sound

The 4th-gen Solo is the best-sounding Scarlett audio interface yet. Its 4th-generation microphone preamp delivers a clear, detailed sound that holds up to tracks recorded with higher-end equipment, and Focusrite's acclaimed Air Mode ups the ante with added high-end presence and harmonic-rich drive reminiscent of a top-of-the-line studio console. Its hi-Z input was tailor-made for electric guitarists, yielding an amp-like feel guaranteed to inspire. The Solo is equipped with studio-grade AD/DA converters culled from Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces, supplying you with crystal-clear sound and an impressive 120dB of dynamic range.

State-of-the-art features

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo comes loaded with session-enhancing features. The Solo includes front-panel Dynamic Gain Halos for at-a-glance monitoring of your input and output signal levels. Using headphones with this audio interface is a joy thanks to its powerful, custom-designed headphone amplifier, which includes an independent level control for loud, clear, accurate monitoring and playback. The Solo's Easy Start function guides beginning users through getting setup while providing recording tips and other helpful content. You also get loopback functionality, enabling you to route stereo audio from music apps straight to your DAW via virtual inputs.
