Focusrite Announces Scarlett Solo – Very Affordable 96k/24-bit Interface
If it hasn’t already been deciphered by the name, the Scarlett Solo has a single mic pre and a single instrument input – a simple recording solution for those who just need to jot down a few mono tracks and throw it up on the inter-webs.
The Solo may be minimal on the inputs, but Focusrite made sure not to skimp on the quality. The mic-pre and converters are the same ones found in their other popular Scarlett audio interfaces.
Focusrite Solo provides a one-two knockout for mic and instrument tracking.
The Focusrite Scarlett Solo is available now for $99 MSRP. Here are more details from Focusrite:
Scarlett Solo is part of the top selling range of USB audio interfaces in the world. Inside its beautiful and compact aluminium case is a genuine Focusrite microphone preamp, which lets you record with our legendary Scarlett sound.
Sleek, light and tough enough to take whenever you go, Scarlett Solo turns your Mac or PC into a portable recording studio. Whenever inspiration strikes, simply plug in any microphone and instrument, and start making Focusrite quality recordings.

Sleek and lightweight enough to throw into your backpack, the stunning aluminium case is also durable enough to endure life on the road, so you can take it anywhere. Simply plug it into your Mac or PC via USB and start recording, without the need for a bulky power supply.
