Get the classic Focusrite sound with All-analogue Air

Unlock the classic sound that skyrocketed Focusrite to the apex of studio recording processors with the all-analog AIR mode. Emulating the sound of the classic ISA 110 that was featured on the original Studio Console, the AIR mode offers a distinctive character to your sound by increasing the input impedance and stacking two high shelves simultaneously. The result is a bright, articulate and vintage-inspired sound with a subtle amount of classic console saturation with a 4dB boost in the upper-frequency range. All-analog, this circuit is controllable for each channel via the onboard switch, making it incredibly easy to hear how this mode affects your tone in your recordings. Make vocals shine, drums pop and guitars sit forward in the mix all while carving a clear and spacious sound in your instruments with AIR mode.

ALL NEW - Hitmaker Expansion software bundle (worth over £1000)

The Hitmaker Expansion is a comprehensive software bundle designed to cover every stage of modern music production, from recording through to release. It includes Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC, a full channel strip that recreates the character of Focusrite’s iconic large-format console and ISA 110 preamps, complete with EQ, dynamics, and the famous Air-inspired tone.

Celemony Melodyne Essential provides transparent pitch and timing correction for vocals and instruments, allowing detailed note-level editing with natural results. The Focusrite Red 2 and 3 Plugin Suite delivers faithful models of the legendary Red EQ and compressor heard on countless major releases.

Klevgrand Korvpressor offers simple, adaptive compression for clean and balanced mixes, while Klevgrand REAMP adds analogue-style warmth using seven vintage-inspired saturation models. Landr Studio includes two months of mixing, mastering, and distribution tools, plus five free masters to keep. Native Instruments MASSIVE supplies powerful synth sounds with over 1,300 presets.

Relab LX480 Essentials delivers classic studio reverbs based on the Hit Factory’s hardware. Softube Flow Guitar Essentials provides realistic amp sims and effects for guitar recording. Sonnox Soften tames harshness, while Sonnox VoxDoubler thickens and widens vocals with ease.

XLN Addictive Drums 2 Studio Rock adds professional drum performances, and XLN Addictive Keys Studio Grand completes the bundle with a beautifully sampled Steinway Model D piano.

Seamless integration with existing hardware

Often in the studio, calling upon external hardware and outboard equipment is vital in achieving the sound in your head. With the Clarett+ OctoPre, you can connect a wide range of external devices using the eight dedicated channel inserts. Seamlessly integrate your external compressors to your bass and vocal recordings or insert your favourite EQ to your electric guitar signal or even patch in your favourite hardware reverb to add ambience to your vocals, it's all possible with the OctoPre

Newly improved converters

No matter how good your recording chain and preamps, your sound will ultimately be defined by the conversion on hand within your system. The Clarett+ OctoPre boasts new and improved converters to give you the confidence that your sound is being monitored exactly the way it was recorded. Outperforming many of its competitors, the Clarett+ OctoPre boasts ultra-low noise floor with a tremendous level of headroom to ensure that all of your incoming audio is captured with stunning accuracy and heard exactly the way it went in. Now, you can be sure of your mixing decisions that what you're hearing is the way it will be heard on every system, creating the perfect balanced mix for your song.

Expand your recording system

Ideal for expanding your existing Focusrite interface recording system, the Clarett+ OctoPre expands your input and output functionality via the onboard ADAT connectivity. Connecting via ADAT will expand your two input system into a ten input system instantly, enabling you to record stunning multi-microphone setups for drums, electric guitar, piano and just about any other instrument that requires a multi-microphone setup. For producers integrated with other audio interfaces, the ADAT connectivity of the Clarett+ OctoPre brings the classic sound of Focusrite to your recordings, allowing you to access the stunning sonic fidelity and vintage-inspired character of the AIR mode.

Two front-mounted instrument inputs

Crucial in the world of modern instrument recordings, the Clarett+ OctoPre lets you take a D.I signal via the onboard instrument inputs. These D.I signals can be used for editing purposes, future re-amping, with software amplifier simulations or simply as a fail-safe for if any problems occur with your miced guitar amplifier during recording. Preserving the natural tone of your guitar, these dual instrument inputs are built using JFET preamps. Stunning bandwidth and clarity maintain the purity of the entire frequency range and respond quickly and accurately to your transients, making it feel like you're plugging directly into your favourite amplifier. Ideal for mixing and mastering, using your D.I input with a range of software emulations in tandem with a recorded guitar amplifier can create unique tones that simply wouldn't be possible when restricted to the analog domain.

Complete with huge music software bundle

The Clarett range comes with everything you need to start making professional-quality music straight away. Whether you're recording, producing, or mixing, the included software and plugins cover all bases. First, you’ll get access to major DAWs with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, and a six-month trial of FL Studio Producer Edition, so you can choose the workflow that suits you best.
