Description

Clarett+ 4Pre is the studio-grade audio interface for PC and Mac, designed for music makers who demand the highest quality while recording and mixing their audio creations. Four high-headroom, low-noise, low-distortion Clarett⁺ mic preamps — featuring All-analogue Air with impedance switching and relay control — capture vocals, drums and acoustic instruments with immense clarity. Two JFET instrument inputs let you plug straight in and preserve the natural tone of your guitar, just like plugging into an amplifier. 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 improved, powerful and transparent headphone outputs inspire artists to hear every nuance, customise their foldback mix, and perform their best. Clarett+ 4Pre brings collaborators together, with options to record up to 18 input channels simultaneously. Expand via ADAT using the Clarett OctoPre or other outboard hardware. Four analogue outputs and MIDI input and output makes Clarett+ 4Pre the centerpiece of the evolving recording studio.

Outstanding
Style: 4Pre (18-in / 20-Out)
system: Reaper v7.12 on a Beelink GTR6 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, 32 gb, running Windows 11 Pro. I kind of worry whenever I spend over $500 on a piece of music gear. I worry it won't be worth it. I upgraded from a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, and the difference is stark. It's totally worth it. It's built like a tank, the sound quality is outstanding, zero latency, headphone power is great, and the combination of dedicated headphone volume controls and the separate output mixes you can setup with the downloaded Focusrite control software is really great. It's leagues above the Scarlett series. Best $630 gear dollars I ever spent. ... show more

Great for grand piano recording
Style: 4Pre (18-in / 20-Out)
Very happy with Focsurite Clarett+ 4Pre for recording grand piano. Audio in attached video recorded using a matched pair of Soyuz SU-013 mics (75%) and a matched pair of AKG C414 XLII mics (25%) with a Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre on standard (non-air) setting.

4 Pre is important
Style: 4Pre (18-in / 20-Out)
My wife kept asking me for more 4 Pre so I got this one. I myself enjoy 4 Pre, so I figured it would be a win-win. However, when it came in the mail I showed it to her and she just sighed. I don't know what to make of that, but I'm very happy with my unit.

Software Needs Attentions
Style: 4Pre (18-in / 20-Out)
They removed certain features on this premium device such as loopback audio which is available in older and cheaper models. Also, the software really ruins what could be a great product. I would probably rate this much higher if they fixed the software on this expensive interface.

Great Converters, Average Mic Pres, Hardly Usable Headphone Amps
Style: 4Pre (18-in / 20-Out)
I bought a Focusrite Clarett+ 4 Pre about 5 months ago when my old Apogee Quartet became very unreliable with macOS Sequoia. The Apogee's converters, even at 10 years old, are incredibly good. The headphone amp is awesome too. But the Quartet kept freezing constantly during playback and recording and became unusable. In a pinch, I bought the Focusrite Clarett+ 4 Pre. My impression is that the converters are excellent, you can't get any better at this price point. The drivers are rock solid on a Mac, no computer/technical issues at all. The software is very good. However, the Mic Pres are not that great IMO, they're good but not great. The gain is too low. My Grace Design external mic pre blows it away. Also, the headphone amps are very weak, again with low gain, so much that they really don't give an accurate reading of the sound. My 40 year old Rane Headphone amp gives a much more accurate reading of the sound through headphones. So, using an external mic pre and a separate headphone amp, I can get by using the Clarett+ 4Pre. But I would have a hard time using the 4Pre completely by itself. As soon as I can, I plan to move on to a different interface. ... show more

Over 600 dollars for a USB interface
Style: 4Pre (18-in / 20-Out)
This interface appears unchanged since the mid-2010s. They just packed with extra software, and charge more for it. Oh, and still, just USB. For over 600 dollars, a simple USB interface?
