Features

The Scarlett Solo 4th Gen gives you one Focusrite mic preamp for recording vocals, acoustic instruments and spoken word with clarity and low noise. The dedicated instrument input is designed for electric guitar or bass, giving direct recordings a responsive feel when used with amp simulators and recording software.

Two Air modes add creative tone-shaping options. Air Presence helps bring vocals and instruments forward with extra clarity, while Harmonic Drive adds richer character and punch for a more finished sound going into your recording session.

Loopback makes it easy to capture computer audio for streaming, sampling, podcasting and content creation. A powerful headphone output helps with clear monitoring while tracking and mixing, and the compact USB-C design keeps the Scarlett Solo easy to use on a desktop, in a writing room or as part of a portable recording rig.
