Remote-controlled 4th Generation preamps.
Ready for the softest vocals or the loudest amp, Scarlett features high-detail, ultra-low-noise 4th Gen preamps. With a gain range of up to 69dB, Scarlett ensures that every nuance of a performance is recorded with precision and clarity. Control preamp levels from anywhere in the studio using the Focusrite Control 2 apps, giving you the freedom to adjust settings remotely — no cables, no hassle.
Studio-quality connectivity.
Scarlett offers studio-quality connectivity, including Hi-Z, instrument and line inputs, ADAT, S/PDIF, and MIDI. Hi-Z ensures great guitar tones, while line inputs facilitate synths, outboard gear, and all other analogue devices. ADAT and S/PDIF enable I/O channel expansion.
Audio quality beyond its class.
When you hit the red button, you’re recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters from our RedNet interfaces, used in many high-end studios.
Scarlett provides up to 122dB of dynamic range, ensuring you can hear every tiny detail, from the quietest to the loudest, delivering detailed recordings with no noise or loss of headroom as you layer your tracks.

Auto Gain sets the perfect level.
Simply hit the button and play for ten seconds — Auto Gain will set the perfect level for up to eight preamps. Scarlett chooses the optimal gain setting to make the most of its massive dynamic range, while giving you plenty of headroom.
Clip Safe means you’ll never lose a take.
Clip Safe automatically adjusts the gain if you’re at risk of clipping, protecting your audio from unwanted distortion by monitoring your levels up to 96,000 times a second — more precisely than even the most meticulous studio engineer.
30 years of studio sound in two great Air modes.
Air’s analogue Presence mode enhances clarity, emulating the classic ISA sound to make vocals, instruments, and drums stand out in a track. The new DSP-based Harmonic Drive mode adds vintage warmth and punch — recreating the sound of a big studio console.
Record anywhere in your studio.
Pair Focusrite Control 2 for desktop with the new iOS and Android app to enjoy wireless control over input levels and monitor mixes. Adjust parameters of your Scarlett 4th Gen seamlessly, without being tied down by cables.
Custom-designed headphone amp.
Our all-new headphone amp design sets the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from a Scarlett interface, driving high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before. And every Scarlett now has independent controls for your headphones and monitors outputs.
Built to last.
Scarlett's bold, iconic red aluminium chassis is engineered for durability and resilience. The one-piece construction ensures robust protection for internal components in any recording environment. High-quality Neutrik XLR and TRS connectors deliver reliable connections every time.
All the software you need to make a hit record.
