  • Improved A-D and D-A converters deliver wide dynamic range and minimal distortion
  • Two independent JFET instrument inputs preserve natural guitar tone
  • Two powerful analogue headphone outputs for accurate monitoring

Studio centerpiece for producers and engineers

The Clarett+ 8Pre is an 18-in/20-out audio interface built for professional recording on PC and Mac. Eight high-headroom, low-noise preamps with all-analogue Air give vocals, drums and acoustic instruments precise, clear capture. Two JFET instrument inputs preserve natural guitar tone like a quality amplifier.

Upgrade from limited I/O or basic preamps

When a project needs more simultaneous channels or cleaner conversion, the expanded 18-input and 20-output count removes bottlenecks. Independent A-D and D-A converters deliver wider dynamic range and lower distortion, so the jump is worth it for sessions that demand higher fidelity and flexible routing.

Sustained performance under load

Enhanced D-A converters keep every detail in focus during long mixing sessions, maintaining minimal noise and negligible distortion. Focusrite Control provides stable routing and monitoring, while the bundled software suite and Plug-in Collective support extended creative workflows without compromise.
