Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB Audio Interface - 3rd Gen

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen is the perfect USB audio interface for rappers, producers and singer-songwriters. Equipped with one of Focusrite’s legendary mic preamps, state-of-the-art converters, and a huge selection of popular plug-ins and creative software, the new Scarlett Solo has everything you need to start making music right out of the box.

INTUITIVE INTERFACE

Start recording quickly with Scarlett Solo’s intuitive interface. Plug in your favorite mic and record vocals, acoustic guitars, amplifiers, or even drums with studio-quality sound using the newly-designed preamp. Add brightness and brilliance to your tracks using the switchable Air setting based on the original Focusrite ISA preamp. Engage the +48 V phantom power button to record using a condenser microphone.

Use the balanced line-level input to record analog synthesizers, drum machines and more. Or engage the Instrument button to track electric guitars and basses directly. Set your levels using the intuitive Gain Halo metering system. And don’t be afraid to crank the gain—there’s plenty of headroom!

PRISTINE SOUND

Play back your tracks with crystal-clear sound using Scarlett Solo’s class-leading converters, capable of recording at mixing at sample rates up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Quickly connect your favorite studio monitors using two built-in monitor outputs, or plug in your favorite “studio cans” using the easy-access headphone output. Monitor your performance with zero latency using the Direct Monitor button—perfect for recording vocals over an instrumental.

CREATIVE SOFTWARE

The new Quick Start tool makes setting up your Scarlet Solo easier than ever. Simply connect the included USB cable to your Mac or PC and follow the steps to start recording in minutes! No software? No problem! The Scarlet Solo comes bundled with everything you need to capture your creativity.

Record, edit, mix and more with two popular digital audio workstations (DAWs): Ableton Live Lite or Pro Tools First Focusrite Creative Pack. Both are packed with intuitive digital instruments, editing tools and signal processors for creating and perfecting your songs.
