Stellar performance in a small package
For
this third-generation Scarlett Solo, Focusrite has not only raised the
bar with vanishingly low latency, 192kHz sample rates, optimized preamp
gain structure, and an instrument input that handles scorching hot
pickups; they also included the acclaimed Air circuit that models their
legendary ISA console transformer to give your voice and instrument
recordings a brighter, more open sound. The Scarlett Solo G3 delivers
the pro-quality sound you need — at a price you'll love. Plug in, fire
up the bundled software, and you're ready to rock.
Now supporting iPad Pro
Customers
and fanatics have asked, and Focusrite has delivered! The 3rd Gen
Scarlett interfaces now support iPad Pros with USB-C ports. That's
right; it's now even easier to take your Scarlett on the road with you!
All you need to do to get set up is to plug your Scarlett Solo into your
compatible iPad Pro and open your music-making app — it's that simple.
As long as you have your iPad Pro, you can use your Focusrite Scarlett
3rd Gen interface anywhere you go.
Optimized third-generation technology
The
3rd-generation Scarlett Solo's exterior has undergone a sleek makeover.
Under the hood, though, it's been tweaked and upgraded to deliver
better sonics, lower latency, and enhanced ease of use. With sample
rates up to 192kHz, you've got studio-grade sound you can take anywhere.
Focusrite has added their renowned Air circuit to their already-amazing
Scarlett mic preamp. The instrument input has also been re-engineered
to handle the hottest active pickups. Lastly, Focusrite has wired analog
protection circuitry across the Scarlett Solo's inputs and outputs,
safeguarding your interface from damaging power surges.
Super-low latency for better performances
You
know you perform better when you've got a great-sounding monitor mix
with everything you need to hear to be inspired — for example, reverb
and delay on a guitar solo. The Scarlett Solo's super-low latency lets
you monitor with native plug-in effects in real time, so you can hear
your parts as you envision them and record better performances. At
Sweetwater, we know you can't put a price on that. But if you prefer the
simplicity and convenience of monitoring your input direct with
guaranteed low-latency, simply flip the Direct Monitor circuit switch.
Award-winning Focusrite preamp with Air
The
Focusrite Scarlett Solo is equipped with a vibrant and pristine
Focusrite preamp. For over 25 years, Focusrite's award-winning pres have
proven their mettle in pro studios around the world. Focusrite ports
their considerable design savvy into the transparent, low-noise,
low-distortion preamp in the Scarlett Solo. This is the same technology
found in Focusrite's flagship products, giving you gobs of available
headroom to accommodate your dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics on any
source, no matter how boisterous. Of course, you also get phantom power
for your mics that require it. Add to that Focusrite's switchable Air
mode, and you've got the sound that launched a thousand hits.
Keep an eye on your levels with intuitive halo indicators
Your
mom always said to watch your levels. Well, perhaps she didn't, but you
know you should — and the Focusrite Scarlett Solo makes it easy. The
Solo's innovative halo indicators always let you know when you've got a
healthy signal level for recording. If the halo is red, your signal is
clipping, and you should back down your gain. The halo will momentarily
turn amber as the level returns to a happy level — at which point it
will turn green. Simple and intuitive, isn't it?

Focusrite Scarlett Solo ships with a killer software bundle headlined
