The Iconic Compact Model of the Scarlett Range
A true bestseller among mobile creators, the Scarlett Solo condenses Focusrite's DNA into an ultra-light format. In this generation, it gains 120 dB converters, an enhanced
Air mode (Presence + Harmonic Drive), and a more powerful headphone stage, while retaining the USB-C connection and simplicity that made the series famous.
For Singer-Guitarists, Podcasters, and Beatmakers
Whether you're recording vocals with a mic and guitar in Hi-Z, streaming with tracks from your DAW via the
loopback, or producing on the go, the Solo offers a straightforward workflow: plug in, adjust with the Halos, record hassle-free, and publish. Ideal for desks, home studios, and compact setups.
Studio Converters, "Air" Tone, and Powerful Monitoring
The 24-bit/192 kHz converters deliver wide headroom and clean lows, while the
Air mode adds brightness and harmonics to make vocals and instruments stand out. The amplified headphone output, with dedicated volume control, ensures precise mix monitoring without distortion. The
loopback facilitates tutorials, playback, and internal captures, and USB-C bus power simplifies setup on laptops.
