Focusrite's description of the Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 USB audio and MIDI interface
WINNER: BEST AUDIO INTERFACE, SOS AWARDS 2024.
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.
TWO OF OUR MOST DETAILED, ULTRA LOW-NOISE PREAMPS.
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 SET YOUR LEVELS FOR YOU.
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.
ALL THE I/O YOU'LL NEED.
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.
GET BIG CONSOLE SOUND WITH TWO RE-ENGINEERED AIR MODES.
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.
