Focusrite Clarett 2Pre +

The Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre is a high-quality USB-C audio interface for musicians, producers, and songwriters who want to record with professional sound quality at home or in a compact studio. This interface combines two Clarett+ microphone preamps with precise 24-bit/192 kHz conversion, a compact desktop design, and plenty of connectivity options for connecting vocals, guitar, synths, external preamps, and studio monitors.

10 inputs and 4 outputs in a compact design
With 10 inputs and 4 outputs, the Clarett+ 2Pre offers plenty of flexibility for a compact production setup. On the front panel, you’ll find two combined XLR/jack inputs for microphone, line, and instrument sources. The Hi-Z JFET instrument inputs are designed to faithfully reproduce the natural sound and dynamics of guitars and basses, as if you were playing directly into an amplifier. As a result, the Clarett+ 2Pre is not only suitable for vocals and acoustic instruments, but also for guitarists who want to record directly using amp simulators or effects plugins.

Clarett+ preamps with Air mode
The two Clarett+ preamps deliver plenty of headroom, low noise, and clear recording quality. With the switchable Air mode, you can add extra presence and openness to your recording. This analog Air function uses impedance switching and is inspired by the sound of Focusrite’s classic ISA preamps. This is especially helpful for vocals, acoustic guitar, percussion, and other detail-rich sources, giving the recording more definition without requiring significant EQ adjustments right away.

Precise Conversion and Reliable Monitoring
The Clarett+ 2Pre’s conversion is designed for a clean and reliable signal path. The interface operates at up to 24-bit/192 kHz and features a wide dynamic range, allowing you to hear plenty of detail during recording, mixing, and mastering. The four balanced line outputs are suitable for studio monitors, external hardware, or alternative monitor mixes. The powerful headphone output has its own volume control and is compatible with a wide range of headphones.

Expand via ADAT and MIDI
For expansion, the Clarett+ 2Pre features an optical ADAT input. This allows you to add up to eight additional input channels via an external preamp, such as an OctoPre. This way, your setup can grow with you if, for example, you later want to record drums, multiple synths, or a larger live performance. Additionally, MIDI in and out ports are available for connecting synthesizers, drum machines, MIDI controllers, or other MIDI devices.

USB-C connection for Mac, Windows, and iPadOS
The Clarett+ 2Pre connects via USB-C and works with Mac,Windows, and iPadOS. The interface can be bus-powered via USB-C if your computer or iPad provides sufficient power. A power adapter is also included, so you can use the interface reliably in any studio or mobile setup. Thanks to its sturdy desktop enclosure, clear meters, and intuitive controls, the Clarett+ 2Pre is a pleasure to use during recording, production, and mixing.

Complete software bundle included
The interface comes with a comprehensive software bundle, so you can get started with recording and producing right away. This includes DAW software and a collection of plugins for vocals, guitar, mastering, and mixing. This makes the Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre a complete solution for anyone who wants to move beyond an entry-level interface and is looking for more detail, better preamps, and professional expansion options.
