Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface, The Guitarist, Vocalist, Podcaster Or Producer, Studio Quality Sound, Red

Product Information

As well as the new Scarlett features, you’ll also get a selection of excellent software, so you can get creative right out the box: Despite their powerful and comprehensive features, these DAWs are still intuitive enough for you to get great results in no time; even if you’re a complete beginner. To connect them, you will need to connect the Scarlett either with a C to C USB cable or A to C using the Apple USB-C to USB adaptor. Lightning to USB-C adaptor cables are not available from Apple, and we would advise against purchasing third-party cables as they are unlikely to work.

If Scarlett has so many good functions in converters and preamps, why (with a low price and good build quality) doesn’t everyone in music production buy Scarlett??

The single 3rd Generation Scarlett mic preamp sounds great straight out of the box. Air mode recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres and makes vocals and guitars shine. The high-impedance, high-headroom instrument input is great for recording guitar or bass without clipping, while our iconic Gain Halos make it easy to set input levels fast. Two balanced outputs are hum-free for pristine monitoring, mixing and mastering with studio monitors. And it comes with some of the best-loved tools in the business, including Ableton Live Lite, Avid Pro Tools Artist and Hitmaker Expansion – with plugins from legendary Auto-Tune® creators Antares®, Brainworx®, Softube®, Landr, XLN Audio®, Relab and more. As you can see from the table above, there are some noticeable improvements in the 3rd Gen. All specs considered, the inputs and outputs benefit from a wider dynamic range, gain ranges, and higher input and output levels. What Else Is New In The 3rd Gen? We recommend the Apple USB to USB-C adaptor as they are reliable. Clarett USB and Clarett+ Interfaces

Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Generation USB-C Audio Interface

Your recordings will shine with professional clarity with its 24-bit/192kHz converters. At the same time , Air mode (also present in the Clarett USB range but works slightly differently) emulates the famous boost in the mid-high frequency range — adding unique high-end detail, which was a renowned characteristic of Focusrite’s original ISA mic preamp at the famous AIR Studios. Please note, that all the devices will need to be connected to a computer to set up the routing in Focusrite Control and set the sample rate. There is no iPad version of Focusrite Control, so a Mac or Windows computer must be used to do this. We advise against using USB extension cables. These cables, like longer USB cables, can cause issues with your audio. If you use an extension cable, your interface may experience glitches, dropouts or simply not connect.

The Dynamic Range figure is around 110dB across the 3rd gen series for line, mic and instrument inputs (an improvement on the 2nd gen’s 106-109dB). The first channel is used primarily for vocals, but can also be used to mic up an acoustic instrument or amp. The preamp can cope with a lot of input volume, so long as your mic is equipped for it. It features a panel with an illuminated Halo LED gain dial. The dial changes, from Green to Red, indicate a good level, helping you visualize whether or not you are going to distort.
