Features

The . Clarett . 8PreX . hardware . interface . provides . the . means . for . connecting . microphones, . musical .

instruments, .line .level .audio .signals .and .digital .audio .signals .to .a .computer .through .the .computer’s .

Thunderbolt™ . port. . The . signals . at . the . physical . inputs . can . be . routed . to . your . audio . recording . .

software ./ .digital .audio .workstation .(referred .to .throughout .this .user .guide .as .the .“DAW”); .similarly, .

the .outputs .from .the .DAW .can .be .configured .to .appear .at .the .unit’s .physical .outputs.

Audio . sources . – . mics, . instruments, . etc., . can . be . recorded . into . your . DAW . and . then . played . back .

from .there .through .amplifiers .and .speakers, .powered .monitors, .headphones, .a .mixer .or .any .other .

analogue .or .digital .audio .equipment .that .you .wish .to .use. .Although .all .inputs .and .outputs .on .the .

Clarett .8PreX .are, .by .default, .routed .directly .to .and .from .your .DAW .for .recording .and .playback, .you .

can .configure .the .routing .any .way .you .like .within .the .Focusrite .Control .application .in .order .to .meet .

your .precise .needs. .Please .see .the .Focusrite .Control .user .guide .for .more .info .on .routing. .

The .Clarett .8PreX .simultaneously .provides .26 .inputs .and .28 .outputs. .In .addition .to .providing .a .high .

quality .interface .for .analogue .signals, .the .Clarett .8PreX .also .handles .multichannel .digital .audio .in .

ADAT .optical .format .– .sixteen .channels .at .44.1/48 .kHz .sample .rate, .eight .at .88.2/96 .kHz .or .four .at .

176.4/192 .kHz. .S/PDIF .I/O .is .also .included.

The .Clarett .8PreX .can .be .easily .synchronised .with .other .items .of .digital .audio .equipment .in .your .

studio, .either .as .a .slave .to .an .external .word .clock .signal, .or .by .acting .as .the .master .clock .source .

itself. .It .also .has .standard .DIN .connectors .for .sending .and .receiving .MIDI .data.

An .important .feature .of .all .models .in .the .Clarett .range .is .the .new .design .of .analogue .preamplifier. .In .

addition .to .their .class-leading .dynamic .range .and .ability .to .provide .all .the .gain .you’re .ever .likely .to .

need, .the .circuitry .now .includes .an .exciting .new .AIR .function. .Individually .selectable .on .each .channel, .

AIR . subtly . modifies . the . pre-amp’s . frequency . response . to . model . the . impedance . and . resonance .

characteristics . of . Focusrite’s . classic . transformer-based . ISA . mic . preamps. . When . recording . with .

good .quality .microphones, .you .will .notice .an .enhanced .clarity .and .definition .in .the .important .mid .

frequency .range, .just .where .it .is .most .needed .for .vocals .and .many .acoustic .instruments.

The .accompanying .software .application, .Focusrite .Control, .is .designed .to .require .a .minimal .amount .

of .user .interaction, .letting .you .easily .configure .the .Clarett .8PreX .with .signal .routings .appropriate .for .

the .most .common .recording .tasks. .For .more .complex .situations, .it .provides .extensive .routing .and .

monitoring .options, .as .well .as .the .ability .to .control .global .hardware .settings .such .as .sample .rate .

and .synchronisation.

 .

All . inputs . on . the . Clarett . 8PreX . are . routed . directly . to . your . DAW . software . for . recording, . but . .

Focusrite .Control .also .allows .you .to .route .these .signals .internally .within .the .device .to .the .outputs .

so .that .you .can .monitor .the .audio .signals .with .ultra-low .latency .- .before .they .arrive .at .your .DAW, .

should .you .need .to .do .so.
