Better Sound Than Ever

UK manufacturer Focusrite has made world-class mic preamps for decades. The 3rd Generation’s mic pre is the best to ever feature in the Scarlett range. Expect a warm, dynamic response that’ll take care of any instrument with ease.

The ‘Air’ mode, inspired by Focusrite’s legendary ISA preamp, adds a unique breathy detail to higher frequencies, perfect for injecting life into vocal recordings. Next up, 24-bit/192kHz converters offer unprecedented clarity for an interface at this price point.

Intuitive, Professional, State-of-the-art

One of the key upgrades for the 3rd Generation is the addition of USB-C connectivity. This reversible connection allows faster data transfer, easier connection and can be flipped – no more plugging in upside-down. And thanks to the USB-C’s inherent low latency, you can easily record and monitor everything in real time with many of your favourite plug-ins in place.

The 3rd Gen’s inputs offer impressive headroom, making recording line-level instruments cleaner and easier than ever before. Balanced TRS outputs also eliminate speaker hum, while Focusrite’s iconic gain halos light up to indicate input levels, making it easy to get distortion-free recordings.

This is such a sleek piece of equipment. The Air option and support videos online as well as added software packages make this a really good value audio interface. It also looks great too.

I needed a low cost solution for a second workspace at home. Now that the gen 4 devices are available the offer on the older gen 3 seemed like a no brainier. Class compliant on Mac OS, bus powered. The “air” button shall remain on, sounds good to my ears. Headphone amp is the weak link but still provides enough level for the various types of headphones I’ve tried out so far, it’s adequate.
