This is your Interface

It is very solid, very easy to use (on Mac OS) and to configure device. All you need is to go through the settings and adjust it to your preferences. If you are in favour of analog sound and consoles then you will love the free plugins that come with your purchase.

I have tested for more than 5 months now and I couldn't be more happy.
the preamps are extremely clean. I have used with sm7b, tlm103 and other mic. the clarity and warm sound it is remarkable (at least for this price range).

also tested with other preamps of the similar range and all I can tell is that you want regret it.

small cons. is that "Focusrite control" is not the best software to setup a device like this, its not very stable and has limited control over monitoring.

Any studio should have one

I recently purchased the Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre, and it has become an essential part of my studio setup. The sound quality is simply outstanding, offering pristine clarity and a natural, warm tone that really shines during both recording and playback. The preamps are incredibly transparent, and the Air feature adds a subtle yet rich high-end presence, making vocals and instruments sit beautifully in the mix.

With its multiple inputs and outputs, the Clarett+ 8Pre provides great flexibility for a range of recording scenarios. It integrates seamlessly with my DAW, offering ultra-low latency, which is perfect for real-time monitoring while recording. The sturdy build quality and compact rack-mountable design ensure that it fits perfectly into my setup without compromising on durability.

Focusrite’s software and control panel are user-friendly, making setup and routing straightforward, even for complex configurations. Whether you’re working on intricate multi-track sessions or just recording a simple demo, the Clarett+ 8Pre delivers professional-grade performance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their home or professional studio setup.
