Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen)

Focusrite enters the third round with the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Generation audio interface and once again convinces with optimizations at every point. Especially for singer-songwriters, this interface provides a reassuringly simple recording process and offers professional sound quality thanks to powerful AD-DA converters (24 bit/192 kHz). 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 overview

In general, all users of the Scarlett series benefit from improved audio performance. The Scarlett 3rd Generation 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 and guarantee clearer sound with more emphasis 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 redesigned once again. Now songs can be recorded and listened to in real-time, while at the same time even more plug-ins can be switched on than before.

A software package to be proud of

As with previous generations, each Scarlett product comes with a software package to get you started. Included are products from Softube, XLN Audio, Antares, Brainworx, Ableton and Avid, plus a three-month subscription to Splice Sounds!
