Our editorial take on the Clarett+ 2Pre
The Focusrite Clarett+ 2Pre is a desktop USB-C audio interface designed for studio or mobile recording environments. It offers two upgraded Clarett+ mic preamps with an Air mode that emulates classic ISA preamps, alongside 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion. Its 10x4 I/O configuration provides flexibility, including ADAT input for expansion and MIDI I/O.
Key features like low-latency monitoring and USB bus power make it a practical choice for creators needing a portable yet capable interface. The balance of its analog and digital connectivity, combined with a robust conversion dynamic range, positions it as a solid option within its category.
While lacking integrated DSP, its core performance metrics suggest a focus on high-quality foundational audio capture and playback. Its desktop form factor and weight indicate it is built for stability, whether in a home studio or on the go.
