Then, you have four balanced line outputs plus two independent headphone outputs to monitor, mix and play back however you want, and all in incredible quality.

The Clarett Sound

Built upon 30 years of mic pre mastery, the Clarett preamp is the finest we build into a USB audio interface. Air mode, with impedance switching, gives new color to your mics, emulating ISA's transformer-based mic pre to bring out unique high-end detail. Clarett 4Pre's high bandwidth, ultra-low distortion design allows you to capture incredible sound, whatever your setup.

Capture more detail than ever before; our carefully engineered design means Clarett 4Pre gives you stunning-quality results, easily. At a class-leading 118dB dynamic range, the low-noise 24-bit/192kHz converters give your recordings clarity and nuance.
