It takes more than some great ideas and an audio interface to start recording music. You also need a microphone, some headphones, recording software and cables.

You could cobble together some equipment for your setup, or invest hours in researching which gear will sound best when you record. Or you could save yourself the hassle, time and money by getting your hands on our Scarlett Solo Studio Pack, which contains everything you need to start recording with legendary Focusrite sound on your Mac or PC.

As well as our Scarlett Solo USB audio interface, this pack contains a large diaphragm CM25 condenser microphone (plus cable and stand clip) for capturing beautifully detailed vocals, and professional closed-back HP60 headphones that block out distracting outside noise to let you focus on recording and mixing your music.

It also contains all the software you need to get started, including Cubase recording software and our Scarlett plug-in suite for mixing your recordings.

Connect your microphone to a legendary Focusrite preamp, from a range considered by many to be the best in the world. It will capture the most stunning vocals possible, while the precision converters transform your live performance into studio-quality 24-bit resolution digital audio, with sample rates of up to 96kHz and an exceptional dynamic range of over 105dB.

Compact, light and tough enough to take anywhere, you can set up Scarlett Solo in seconds and record wherever you like. You won't even need to carry a power supply, because it is all USB powered by your Mac or PC. Whenever inspiration strikes, simply plug your instrument straight into the crystal clear DI/line input and start recording. The unique gain halos will stay green when your level is good and turn red if you get too loud. To hear exactly what you're recording without any distracting latency, just flick the direct monitor switch.

Connect the professional recording headphones and your own speakers to immerse yourself in Focusrite-quality sound, using the large volume dial to set the perfect level.
