Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Generation Recording Pack

Plug your guitar into the Scarlett Solo's Hi-Z instrument input, and it feels just like an amp. Connect the CM25 MkIII studio condenser mic to the Solo’s mic pre, and it sounds fantastic right out of the box. Listen in incredible detail through the SH-450 headphones. Scarlett brings Focusrite’s professional sound quality to wherever you're making music.

For standout lead vocals and instrument tracks, Scarlett’s re-engineered Air mode brings your sound’s unique character to the forefront of the mix, adding musical presence and rich harmonic drive, just like a high-end studio console. You'll never want to record without it. Scarlett’s Dynamic Gain Halos make level-setting quick and easy, helping you find the perfect level and achieve great recordings every time.

Hit the red button, and you’re recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces—used in top studios around the world. Capture every last detail of your recordings without sacrificing any sound quality.

For the best sound right from the start, the Scarlett Solo Studio includes Focusrite’s CM25 MkIII condenser mic and SH-450 closed-back headphones. The CM25 MkIII is versatile enough for nearly anything, but you’ll especially love it on vocals and guitar, thanks to its bright, detailed sound. The SH-450 headphones offer the most accurate studio sound Focusrite has ever created, with plush pads and a soft-touch headband design that keeps you focused without fatigue. If you don’t have a mic stand, Focusrite has even included a clever cardboard stand so you can get started immediately.

The custom-designed headphone amp and wide dynamic range set the stage for the best playback you’ve ever heard from Scarlett. With Solo’s 4th-Generation technology, you have independent control over your headphones and monitors, so you can record, mix, and play back audio however you want.

Just plug in, tell Focusrite’s Easy Start tool how you want to use your Scarlett, and let it guide you through setup and software installation, complete with recording tips and other helpful content.
