Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Gen

Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Gen is a songwriter's recording bundle: a single-preamp USB-C interface, a CM25 MkIII condenser mic, SH-450 closed-back headphones and a 3 m XLR cable. The Scarlett mic preamp is detailed and ultra-low-noise, and the CM25 MkIII has a bright, open character that suits lead vocals and acoustic guitar. A Hi-Z input takes an electric guitar or bass straight in with the feel of an amp input, so amp simulation plug-ins respond the way you expect. Conversion runs at 24-bit/192 kHz with 120 dB of dynamic range, using the same converter design as Focusrite's RedNet interfaces. Air mode adds console-style presence and harmonic colour to vocals and acoustic sources, and Dynamic Gain Halos show levels on the hardware so setting a strong level takes seconds. The SH-450 closed-back headphones use plush pads and a soft-touch headband, and the custom headphone amp with independent level control powers them cleanly for tracking and playback. Loopback sends stereo audio from apps and browsers into a DAW for sampling or streaming. A cardboard mic stand is included so nothing holds up the first session, and Focusrite Control 2 plus the Easy Start tool handle setup and routing from a Mac or PC. Three-year warranty and 24/7 support.
