General
Focusrite's Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB audio interface is perfect for singer/songwriters. Its preamps are better than ever to ensure your recordings sound more detailed and Air mode brings even more clarity to vocals as well as acoustic and electric guitars and basses. The instrument input offers plenty of headroom so that even loud signals don't clip easily. This means you can get lots of dynamics into your mix and the LED rings around the gain knobs make it easy to monitor the incoming signal. Improved conversion means that recording and playback of audio sounds is second to none. There are also two noise-free balanced outputs that allow you to hear the sound as it really is. A 'Quick Start' tool helps you get to grips with the Scarlett Solo in no time too. If all that's not enough, Focusrite have even included a comprehensive software bundle with this fantastic USB audio interface.

Superb little audio interface , fixed my latency problems and great sound quality . Its an excellent device if you need something portable and don't require lots of inputs . The software bundle supplied is the cherry on top 👍

Works straight out the box :)
Followed the specific online tutorials and got my guitar sounding great in the first session (using eq's/delays etc)
Speedy delivery too :)
Thanks!

it works fine. however, i wasn't aware that it only comes with one volume control knob. so if your headphones and monitors are connected, you will hear the music on both devices and the volume control knob will turn down the headphones only, not the monitors. luckily enough, my monitors have their own volume control on them (mackie set of 2). slightly disappointing. you get what you pay for i guess

Seems to work well with my laptop. It allows for a mic and an instrument to be plugged in simultaneously and also has some nice software which is downloadable of the Focusrite website after purchase. I recommend this product for beginners trying to get into audio production.

Prima interface voor mij. Werkt simpel met mijn PC. De direct monitor-functie maakt het mogelijk om zonder software het eerlijke geluid van je instrument te horen. Handzaam formaat, stevig kastje. Prima.

Uitstekend apparaat. Ik had nog nog nooit met zoiets gewerkt en ik wil niet meer zonder. Een upgrade naar een uitgebreider type zal niet lang op zich laten wachten.

Apparaat werkt heel erg goed, voor een beginner/hobbyist super geluidskwaliteit voor een acceptabele prijs. De website van Focusrite bevat veel downloads en informatieve video's om je te helpen met het gebruik van het apparaat.
Wel heel jammer dat je per sé je apparaat moet registreren (en dus al je gegevens achter moet laten) om bij de downloads en video's te komen. Als alles eenmaal werkt is het een top aankoop!
With their latest offering, Focusrite help anyone dreaming of building or upgrading their home studio get well on their way. Pick up and register a Scarlett 3rd Gen, Clarett USB, Clarett+ or Red audio interface and get the new Hitmaker Expansion pack worth over €1,300 on top!
Focusrite's Scarlett series is the undisputed winner when it comes to the number of audio interfaces sold each year and it's been that way ever since they were first launched. Each generation has been better than the last and now, the third generation is here! Read on to find out what's been improved this time.
