Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Gen

Complete Recording Package

With the 4th Generation Scarlett Solo Studio bundle, recording and publishing your songs is easier than ever. The quality microphone preamp, professional-grade converters with a high dynamic range of 120dB present in the 4th Generation Scarlett Solo USB audio interface, along with the included CM25 cardioid condenser microphone, ensure optimal capture of your sources: vocals or acoustic instruments. Air mode allows you to record with the style of a large studio console. The SH-450 closed-back headphones included in the SOLO Studio 4th Gen package offer a linear listening experience, are comfortable, and pair perfectly with the dedicated output featuring an independent volume control from the Master output present on your 4th Generation Focusrite Scarlett Solo. A complete hardware kit, but not only, as it is rich in software and plug-ins including Pro Tools Artist, Ableton Live Lite, and Focusrite's Hitmaker package, which gives you access to Auto-Tune Access, Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 for electric guitar, Native Instruments®' virtual synth MASSIVE, and much more. Focusrite Scarlett is the most used USB audio interface in the world. Join a community of over six million artists, including some of the biggest names in music.

Also highly appreciated by owners of previous 3rd Generation Scarlett Studio packages, the Focusrite CM25 Mk III condenser microphone with a 20mm capsule and a cardioid unidirectional pattern offers excellent sound capture with a vivid, detailed character, making it particularly suitable for recording vocals and guitars. The frequency response is wide, covering a range from 30Hz to 18kHz. Also included in the package, you will find a rigid, articulated adapter for installation on a microphone stand, a 3-meter XLR cable, and a pop filter. In addition, Focusrite has included an ingenious cardboard desktop microphone stand in the bundle, so you can start recording immediately.

The SH-450 is the new circumaural headphone which, compared to the previous model included in past Scarlett Studio packages, guarantees a wider frequency response, from 15 to 30000Hz, with an impedance of 32 Ohm. The SH-450 is also very comfortable and light thanks to its larger earcups, which, with substantial padding, better distribute weight and reduce pressure, and a light, also well-padded headband.

Connect your guitar to the high-impedance instrument jack input of the Scarlett Solo 4th Gen and it will feel like you're using a dedicated amplifier. Connect a microphone to the Solo's preamplified XLR input for an instant studio sound. The Scarlett series brings professional Focusrite audio quality wherever you are making music.

With Scarlett Solo 4th Gen, you record with 192 kHz/24-bit converters identical to those of Rednet interfaces, Focusrite's flagship series present in countless professional recording studios worldwide. Capture every sonic detail.

The well-known Air function, created to emulate the sound of Focusrite's historic analog consoles, has undergone a significant improvement in this fourth-generation series: analog presence and DSP-based saturation. We are free to apply only analog or both as we please. Make your recorded tracks stand out within the mix. Once you've tried it, you won't be able to do without it.

The SH-450 closed-back headphones included in the package and the custom-designed amplifier, with an impedance of 300 Ohm and an enviable dynamic range, are the perfect conditions for the best sound reproduction you have ever achieved from a Scarlett interface. Thanks to independent volume controls on the headphone output and the Master monitor output, you can record, mix, and play audio by setting the levels of the two outputs as desired. Even high-impedance headphones from other manufacturers will now sound louder and more linear with your fourth-generation Scarlett.

Do you want to sample from other software? Do you want to receive and process the audio signal played by other applications in your DAW software? With the Loopback connection, you can transmit stereo audio from your music apps and other software directly into your favorite DAW software thanks to Scarlett Solo's virtual inputs.
