Also included with this audio interface are 2 headphone outputs that allow you to hear every aspect of your sound, whether you’re mixing, performing, or polishing your final product.

Take your music to the next level without compromising on clarity or analog quality. The Clarett+ 8Pre can be expanded using ADAT to add 8 inputs and outputs via the Clarett OctoPre. It can also be connected to MIDI and S/PDIF gear to optimize your creative potential and more fully integrate the interface into your setup. (All external gear sold separately.)

The Clarett+ 8Pre delivers studio-quality vocals, guitars, keys, and drums—and then gives you the benefits of Focusrite’s iconic studio hardware all in one piece of gear, including three classic processors that inherit Focusrite’s decades-long legacy of precision studio sound.
