Perfect AD / DA conversion
FOCUSRITE's AD / DA converter for 24bit / 196kHz, which has been applied with decades of analog circuit design know-how, provides excellent signal circuits.

Input and output
Clarett 2Pre USB is a 10in4out audio interface. Two microphones / LINE / Instrument inputs can record clearly from condenser microphone to high output pickup. The input level can be easily adjusted with the highly visible Gain Halo meter. The ADAT input connects an 8-channel ADAT mic preamp such as the company's "Clarett OctoPre", and supports expansion of input channels. Outputs include two monitor and headphone outs with anti-sum technology, two LINE outs and MIDI input and output.

ISA sound
The two mic preamps are equipped with an “Air” function that models the ISA mic preamplifier that made Focusrite's name known. Not only provides the best sound quality but also keeps noise and distortion to very low values.
