Focusrite Scarlett Solo

Scarlett Solo is a compact USB audio interface featuring one award-winning Focusrite mic preamp, one instrument input and precision digital converters. Scarlett Solo joins the top-selling Scarlett Series USB audio interfaces and offers both a legendary Focusrite preamp for your microphone and a crystal clear DI / line input for your instruments such as guitar, bass guitar and analog synths. Precision digital converters capture your performance with studio-quality 24-bit resolution at sample rates of up to 96kHz. Simply plug into your Mac or PC via USB (USB cable supplied) and start recording.

Get your volume right every time by keeping an eye on the halos around the gain knobs. Focusrite's unique gain halos stay green when your level is right and turn red if you're too loud. Simply flick the direct monitor switch to hear exactly what you're recording without latency. Connect your headphones and speakers and immerse yourself in Focusrite-quality sound, using the large volume dial to set the perfect level. Scarlett Solo has an exceptional dynamic range of over 105dB. . Sleek, light and tough enough to throw into your backpack, the stunning aluminum chassis can endure life on the road. Transform your Mac or PC into a portable recording studio and plug into four decades of analog audio equipment design.

Record with Focusrite’s legendary sound
The better your preamp, the better your microphone will sound, and the better the recording. Focusrite preamps like the one in Scarlett Solo are widely considered the best in the world. +48V phantom power is also built-in, so you can use any microphone you like, including high-quality condenser types.

Plug Straight In
Scarlett Solo lets you get a musical idea down minutes after it’s hit you. Plug a microphone into input 1 and an instrument into input 2 – the two settings suit pickups as well as keyboards. Set the levels simply and quickly: unique halos around the gain knobs will stay green when your level is good and turn red if you’re too loud – you can be confident you’re always recording at the right level.

Record Anywhere
Carry Scarlett Solo with you – its durable and elegant aluminum unibody enclosure is designed for life on the road, and you can take it anywhere. Simply plug it into your Mac or PC via USB and start recording, without the need for a bulky power supply.

Capture Every Detail
Scarlett Solo is great for demos – but it’s perfect for masters too! Precision converters capture your performance in studio-quality 24-bit resolution digital audio. Use sample rates of up to 96kHz for pristine, clear recordings and an exceptional dynamic range of over 105dB for master-quality sound. There’s no better way of getting the highest quality into your computer.


Note: Includes the Focusrite Red 2 and Red 3 Plug-In Suite (AAX/AU/VST) upon registration of interface. Accurately modeled on the classic Red 2 EQ and Red 3 Compressor, the Red plug-ins let you exploit the sound of the hardware originals, conveniently from within Pro Tools (10 and above) and other audio software.
