Music makers. This is your Scarlett.

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.

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.

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.

Get big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes: Presence and all-new Harmonic Drive.
