sockets. Connect further line level signals here using ¼” TRS (balanced) or TS (unbalanced)
jack plugs.
2. LINE OUTPUTS 1 to 4 – four balanced analogue line outputs on ¼” jack sockets; use TRS jacks
for a balanced connection or TS jacks for unbalanced. Line Outputs 1 and 2 will generally be
used for driving the main L and R speakers of your monitoring system, while Outputs 3 and 4
can be used for connecting additional line level equipment (e.g., outboard FX processors). The
signals routed to all the outputs may be defined in Focusrite Control.

format at 44.1/48 kHz sample rate or four channels at 88.2/96 kHz. This input is disabled at
176.4/192 kHz sample rates. This input is also capable of accepting a stereo optical S/PDIF
source.

6. SPDIF IN and OUT – two RCA sockets carrying two-channel digital audio signals in or out of
the Clarett 4Pre USB in S/PDIF format. Like all the other inputs and outputs, the routing of
S/PDIF signals may be customised in Focusrite Control. The S/PDIF Input appears in Focusrite
Control as Inputs 9 and 10 and the S/PDIF Output as Outputs 7 and 8.
