Optimized third-generation technology

With sample rates up to 192kHz, you’ve got studio-grade sound you can take anywhere. Focusrite has incorpaprated their renowned Air circuit to their already-amazing Scarlett mic preamp. The instrument input has also been re-engineered to handle the hottest active pickups. Lastly, Focusrite has wired analog protection circuitry across the Scarlett Solo’s inputs and outputs, safeguarding your interface from damaging power surges.

Award-winning Focusrite preamp with Air
The Focusrite Scarlett Solo is loaded with a vibrant and pristine Focusrite preamp. For over 25 years, Focusrite’s award-winning pres have proven their quality in pro studios around the world. Focusrite ports their considerable design savvy into the transparent, low-noise, low-distortion preamp in the Scarlett Solo. This is the same technology found in Focusrite’s flagship products, giving you spades of available headroom to accommodate your dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics on any source, no matter how boisterous. Of course, you also get phantom power for your mics that require it. Add to that Focusrite’s switchable Air mode, and you’ve got the sound that offers a supreme amount of flexibility
Keep an eye on your levels with intuitive halo indicators
Making sure your levles are perfect has never been easier .The Solo’s innovative halo indicators always let you know when you’ve got a healthy signal level for recording. If the halo is red, your signal is clipping, and you should back down your gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a happy level — at which point it will turn green. Simple and intuitive, isn’t it?
