Right out of the box you get a Scarlett Solo USB audio interface, condenser microphone, 3-meter XLR microphone cable, closed-back headphones and free software, so you can start making music in no time at all.

The Scarlett Solo features a single upgraded third-generation Scarlett mic preamp: with optional Air setting to reproduce the Air effect of Focusrite’s original ISA mic preamp, giving your vocal recordings a brighter and more open sound. The CM25 MkIII condenser microphone enables you to capture studio-quality recordings that are faithful to the original source, while the HP60 MkIII closed-back headphones, with an improved design, offer high-sound quality and long-lasting comfort when recording and mixing.

Simply plug your guitar or bass into the high-headroom instrument input and start recording without any clipping or unwanted distortion, and keep an eye on your input level with intuitive Gain Halo metering. Equipped with high performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, Scarlett guarantees the same professional sound quality throughout the third-generation range and Scarlett Solo's balanced outputs are hum-free when connecting studio monitors with balanced inputs, so you’ll always have pristine audio playback.

And the Solo is designed to stand up to days on the road, connecting straight to your Mac or PC via USB cable, with no external power required. Your Scarlett Solo Studio pack comes with a ton of software, including Focusrite Hitmaker Expansion Pack and more, to inspire real creativity with great-sounding effects.
