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 range of USB audio interfaces in the world 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 analogue 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. The better your preamp, the better your microphone will sound. Focusrite preamps like the one in Scarlett Solo are considered by many to be the best in the world. They also provide 48V phantom power, so you can use any microphone you like. Sleek, light and tough enough to throw into your backpack, the stunning aluminium 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. Inside the box you'll find all the software and sounds you need to record and mix music. This includes Ableton Live Lite, 1GB of Loopmasters sample content, the Novation Bass Station virtual synth and the Focusrite Scarlett Plug-in Suite (Compressor, Gate, EQ and Reverb).
