Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 Gen 4 4-in/4-out USB Audio Interface

Set up your voice and guitar with mics and plug into the 4i4’s 4th-Generation preamps for Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed sound ever, offering an impressive 69dB gain range. Connect your electric guitar to one of 4i4’s hi-Z instrument inputs, delivering an experience that feels just like playing through an amp. For synths and grooveboxes, plug directly into the ultra-high-quality line inputs. Use the extra line outputs for connecting your favorite outboard gear. Scarlett provides professional sound quality for all your recordings.

For standout lead vocals and instrument tracks, Scarlett’s newly re-engineered Air mode enhances your sound’s unique character, bringing it forward in the mix with a rich, harmonic drive reminiscent of a high-end studio console. It’s a feature you’ll never want to record without. Scarlett's Dynamic Gain Halos make adjusting levels a breeze, and if you prefer, simply select Auto Gain, let Scarlett handle it, and hit record. After just ten seconds of playing, Scarlett will set the ideal recording level for you.

While you’re performing, Clip Safe is monitoring your levels up to 96,000 times per second – even more than the most experienced studio engineers. If clipping is detected, it automatically adjusts the gain, ensuring you stay immersed in the music without losing any takes. With a simple press of the red button, you’ll be recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters, the same found in Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces, trusted by top studios worldwide. Capture every intricate detail of your recordings without compromising on sound quality.

Scarlett features a custom-designed headphone amp with a massive dynamic range, delivering the best playback you’ve ever heard. It powers high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than before. With 4 line outputs, you can easily set up different monitor configurations. Plus, 4i4 gives you independent control over your headphones and monitors, allowing you to record, mix, and play back audio however you prefer.

Need to create samples? Use Loopback to send stereo audio from your apps or software directly into your DAW via 4i4’s virtual inputs. You can also mix computer audio into your live streams with ease. Just plug in, use Focusrite’s Easy Start tool to set up your Scarlett, and follow the step-by-step guide through software installation, setup, and helpful recording tips.
