Equally comfortable in the studio or as part of a mobile rig, the Focusrite Clarett 2Pre USB 10x4 USB Audio Interface combines 24-bit / 192 kHz A/D/A conversion with low-latency monitoring and two, Air-enabled microphone preamps that can model the sound of the company's classic ISA preamps. With low noise (-128 dB EIN), low distortion, and a 119 dB dynamic range, the high-performance mic preamps deliver a clean, open, and transparent sound, for accurate reproduction of the original performance. The Clarett 2Pre USB is equipped with two, high-headroom mic/line/instrument inputs that are ideal for recording everything from condenser mics to hot pickups without distortion. Each mic pre has a separate gain knob with a Gain Halo meter that makes it easy to set the correct input level. The interface also provides two line level outputs, two monitor outputs with anti-thump technology, MIDI I/O, and eight channels of ADAT inputs to expand your setup. The front panel features a 1/4" headphone output with independent volume control and a pair of +48V phantom power switches to provide power to condenser microphones. The Clarett 2Pre USB offers a comprehensive software package that includes the Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite with accurate models of the Red 2 equalizer and Red 3 compressor, the Softube Time and Tone Bundle with reverb, delay, mastering, and distortion plug-ins, a Loopmasters library with 2GB of royalty-free samples, and more. Also provided is the Focusrite Control software that enables you to configure routing, and monitor mixes from Mac and Windows computers, or iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices. |
