Focusrite Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface (4th Generation)
Scarlett 4i4 is the complete compact studio hub for all your instruments. Perfect for multi-instrumentalists and collaborators, 4i4 is loaded with I/O for everything. Two of our most detailed ultra-low-noise mic preamps. Hi-Z, line and MIDI connections for your keys, guitars, synths, grooveboxes and controllers. With 4i4 your headphones, monitors, and line outs each get their own mix, so you can match the studio setup to the session.
Air mode, with Presence and Harmonic Drive, gives you that big console sound wherever you record. Auto Gain and Clip Safe make sure you'll never need to worry about your levels. And the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle includes all the tools you need to record, produce and release your tracks.
Plug into 4i4’s 4th-Generation remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range to get the best from every mic.
Auto Gain and Clip Safe.
Let 4i4 handle your levels.
Auto Gain sets your levels and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You'll never lose a take again.
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 favourite outboard gear to the additional line outputs. You’ve even got MIDI.
Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.
Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.
Once you've got started with Ableton Live Lite, three months of Pro Tools Artist, or six months of FL Studio Producer Edition recording software (all included), the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of record-making studio tools from the biggest names in the business.
With 4i4, headphones, monitors, and line outs each get their own mix, so you can create the perfect studio setup for your speakers, the artist's headphones, and your outboard gear.
Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.
A custom-designed headphone amp design sets the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from a Scarlett interface, driving high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before.
Focusrite Control 2 is a powerful app that easily manages Scarlett 4th Gen interfaces on Windows and macOS devices. Pair the iOS and Android app to your desktop computer to remotely control your Scarlett from anywhere in your recording space.
