The Focusrite Scarlett offerings have delivered some of the best bang for your buck in the interface category for years, and its latest 4th Gen machines are much of the same. After coming away thoroughly impressed with the latest models in our hands-on review last summer, today we are tracking the very first deal on Amazon for the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen USB Audio Interface at $119 shipped. This is the entry-level Solo model that’s great for at-home studios and folks just looking to record an XLR microphone or guitar/synth that regularly fetches $140. Today’s deal is the very first price drop we have tracked on what is easily one of our top recommendations in the price range. Our hands-in review offers a detailed breakdown of the feature set and you’ll find some additional thoughts down below.
The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen delivers that striking red design the lineup is known for, boasting “studio-quality sound” in a relatively affordable and compact box. The 120dB dynamic range is joined by “the same converters as Focusrite’s flagship interfaces, found in the world’s biggest studios” to support the XLR mic inputs and front-mounted 1.4-inch guitar connection. From there, you’ll find the brand’s wonderful Air mode to add a brighter tone to your recordings and “lift vocals and guitars to the front of the mix.” The rest of the new additions to the box are right here waiting for you in greater detail.
