Clarett+ 8Pre is the full interface for delivering pure analogue sound to your studio.

Eight Clarett preamps have been carefully crafted to deliver true large-format studio sound to any recording. All-analogue Air mode, with impedance switching, emulates the legendary sound of Focusrite’s ISA mic pres, adding presence and clarity to drums, guitars and vocals.

Two JFET high-impedance instrument inputs maintain your guitar’s real tone and feel exactly like an amp. Ultra-low distortion and 124dB dynamic range are achieved with independent A-D and D-A converters. Ten hum-free balanced outputs for clean monitoring, mixing and mastering with studio monitors. Eight in and eight out over ADAT enable 8Pre to expand with your studio.

And it’s packed with some of the most beloved plugins in the industry – with plug-ins from renowned Auto-Tune creators Antares®, Brainworx®, Softube®, Landr, XLN Audio®, Relab and more.
