The original music maker’s interface, re-engineered for all instruments.
The Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 audio interface is ready to make recording all your instruments even easier, featuring I/O for anything—mics, keys, guitars and MIDI devices—two of Focusrite’s most detailed ultralow-noise preamps, four super high-quality line inputs and studio-grade converters with a huge 120dB dynamic range. Auto Gain and Clip Safe make setting levels quick and easy, so every take is a keeper. A complete recording toolkit includes Pro Tools Artist, Ableton Live Lite and the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle featuring Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 for guitar, Addictive Keys and Addictive Drums from XLN Audio, Antares Auto-Tune Access, Native Instruments MASSIVE and more. An amped-up headphone output is also included for hi-res, studio-grade playback anywhere.
Find Your Signature Sound
For standout lead vocal and instrument tracks, Scarlett’s reengineered Air mode takes your sound’s unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding truly musical presence and rich harmonic drive, just like a classic console in a big money studio. Trust us, you'll never want to record without it. Scarlett's Dynamic Gain Halos make setting your levels quick and easy with any mic—or just select Auto Gain and let Scarlett do it for you. Hit the button and play for ten seconds, Scarlett will set the perfect level for whatever you’re recording. Set up mics for your voice and guitar and plug into 4i4’s 4th-Generation preamps—Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range. Hook up an electric guitar to one of 4i4's hi-Z instrument inputs—it feels just like an amp. Plug synths and grooveboxes straight into the super-high-quality line inputs. Connect your favorite outboard gear to the additional line outputs. Scarlett brings Focusrite’s professional sound quality to whatever you’re recording.
Capture Every Detail
Hit the red button and you’re recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters direct from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces—as found in countless high-end studios around the world. Squeeze every last drop of detail out of your recordings without sacrificing any sound quality. A custom-designed headphone amp and huge dynamic range set the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from Scarlett. Scarlett drives high impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before. With four line outputs, you can easily connect different monitor setups. 4i4 also has independent controls for your headphones and monitors so you can record, mix and play back audio however you want. Need samples? Make your own with Loopback. Send stereo audio from your music apps and other software straight to your DAW with 4i4’s virtual inputs. You can also use Loopback to mix computer audio into your livestreams. Plug in and tell Focusrite’s Easy Start tool how you want to use your Scarlett, and let it guide you through all the software and setup you need, with recording tips and other helpful content along the way.
