From Focusrite

Clarett+ 2Pre is the easiest way to bring pure analogue sound to your music.

The two Clarett preamps have been meticulously engineered to bring authentic large-format studio sound to any recording space. All-analogue Air mode, with impedance switching, recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres, adding clarity and presence to any recording. High-impedance JFET instrument inputs preserve your guitar’s true character and feel just like an amp. Independent A-D and D-A converters offer ultra-low distortion and up to 124dB dynamic range. Four balanced outputs are hum-free for pristine monitoring, mixing and mastering with studio monitors. Eight input channels of ADAT allow 2Pre to expand for any recording session. And it comes with some of the best-loved tools in the business – with plugins from legendary Auto-Tune® creators Antares®, Brainworx®, Softube®, Landr, XLN Audio®, Relab and more.

  • Two inputs, four outputs; two Clarett mic pres, switchable to line or Hi-Z JFET instrument inputs, four balanced outputs and eight input channels over ADAT.
  • All-analogue Air mode, with impedance switching, adds presence and clarity to your recordings, recreating the legendary character of the ISA.
