Focusrite Clarett 4Pre Now Available

If you want the power and feature set of the Focusrite Clarett 8Pre but with fewer preamps and a small form factor, then the 4Pre is for you. The good news is it is now available!  

Back in mid-2015 we reviewed the Focusrite Clarett audio interfaces... specifically the Clarett 8Pre. We found it had tons of dynamic range, zero noise, high build quality, precise controls, a simple software interface, super low latency... do you need me to go on? In short we loved it.

The good news is the smaller Clarett 4Pre is available now. Here's what Focusrite tell us about this desktop friendly audio interface with four preamps with a super compact footprint:

Clarett 4Pre completes the Clarett range. Bringing the power of 8Pre and 8PreX in a format barely bigger than 2Pre, with four preamps up front. 

Focusrite Clarett 4PRE

Featuring the same ultra-low latency, 118dB A/D and 119dB D/A dynamic ranges, ADAT connectivity and Control software as 2Pre, 8Pre and 8PreX, 4Pre is Clarett for the home recordist. Or the roaming producer who needs easy access to the best quality mic pres. 
If you're interested in being able to use your go-to plug-ins to record and monitor - as if latency never existed - that's now more accessible than ever.
