Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen

Description:

Focusrite 's Scarlett Solo 3rd Generation audio interface is a third-generation interface that has been tweaked in every way. For singer-songwriters in particular, this interface provides a reassuringly simple recording process and, thanks to powerful AD-DA converters (24-bit/192 kHz) , offers professional sound quality that is well worth hearing. The instrument input provides plenty of resistance and headroom and is ideal for recording guitars and basses without overdriving or distorting, while the gain halos make it easy to see the input level. The balanced outputs are hum-free when connected to balanced studio monitor inputs, guaranteeing perfect audio reproduction. But what exactly is the difference between the third and the previous generation?

News at a glance

In general, all users of the Scarlett series benefit from improved audio performance. The 3rd generation Scarlett microphone preamps are currently the Scarlett preamps with the best sound. They deliver not only high gain but also low noise levels for stereo recording at high demands. Also, the industry-leading 24-bit/192 kHz AD-DA converters take performance to a new level, guaranteeing clearer sound with more punch across all frequencies.

"Air" - high-end sound at the touch of a button

The redesigned mic preamps can emulate the Air effect of Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp at Bedadrf, giving your vocal and acoustic recordings a more transparent sound.

Interactive introduction

On board is a so-called QuickStart tool from Focusrite, which guides the customer through the registration and setup of software and drivers.

USB driver with even lower latency

Latency is one of the most common problems when recording, so the USB drivers have been reworked once again. Now songs can be recorded and played back in real time, while at the same time even more plug-ins can be switched on than before.
