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

Product Information

The ‘Air’ mode, inspired by Focusrite’s legendary ISA preamp, adds a unique breathy detail to higher frequencies, perfect for injecting life into vocal recordings. Focusrite’s outstanding reputation for building high-quality mic preamps has been established for over three decades now, and much of this expertise has been included in the third generation of Scarlett interfaces via the brand-new integrated Air Mode, which when selected opens up and brightens the high end in a way that is intended to emulate their classic ISA preamps – or, as the British manufacturer puts it, to provide “unique high-end detail for vocals and acoustic guitar”. It features an XLR mic input, a balanced line input for synthesisers and other line-level audio sources, and a pair of balanced outputs for monitoring.

These best-in-class interfaces combine the best ever Scarlett preamps with high headroom inputs/converters, Air mode for more textural vocals, USB-C connectivity and much more. It is important to mention that for people who are using studio monitors to mix their projects and also want to do recordings with this interface - it is not a great option. The Scarlett Solo, now in its third edition, is the most compact and portable model within Focusrite’s acclaimed Scarlett series of USB audio interfaces for Mac and PC. Our custom-designed headphone amp design sets the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from a Scarlett interface, driving high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before. This reversible connection allows faster data transfer, easier connection and can be flipped – no more plugging in upside-down.

Three-month’s Avid® Pro Tools Artist subscription and Avid Complete Plugin Bundle: Record and release tracks with the industry-standard DAW and plugin collection. The third generation of Scarlett interfaces comprises the Solo, 2i2, 4i4, 8i6, 18i8, and 18i20 as well as two bundles, the Solo Studio and 2i2 Studio, each of which includes a microphone and headphones. Solo’s amped-up headphone output with independent volume control drives your headphones loud and clear.

If you’re looking for a high-quality portable audio interface for recording at home, on the road, or even for an outdoor recording session, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo and Scarlett 2i2 are two of the most legit contenders to be privy to. This should not pose too much of a problem, however, since most modern keyboards feature a USB interface as standard and can thus be connected directly to the computer. Focusrite’s best-selling Scarlett range has enabled millions of musicians worldwide to record their creativity for almost a decade. Air mode recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres and makes vocals and guitars shine. Just tell our Easy Start tool what you want to do and we’ll guide you through all the software and setup you need, with recording tips and other helpful content along the way.

The Scarlett’s high-quality mic preamp provides 48V phantom power and is also equipped with a brand-new Air Mode switch. Two inputs and two outputs; one 3rd Generation mic pre, one switchable line/inst input and balanced outputs.You can record your performances feeling connected to the playback or metronome of your song comfortably. Added the ability to choose whether 48V is retained after restarting Scarlett 3rd Generation interfaces. If this is your only interface, though, the Scarlett 2i2 is hands down the more versatile of the two.
