Scarlett Solo Gen 4
It's right there in the name: the Scarlett Solo Gen 4 is perfect for solo musicians, podcasters, or even audiobook narrators. With one Hi-Z input for guitar and one mic preamp on the back, plus a left and right output to feed your monitors, it offers plug-and-play operation to get your ideas recorded and out there quickly.
For those just starting out recording on their Scarlett Solo, the Dynamic Gain Halos can be a big help. These color LED rings around the channel gain knobs. They let you know if your signal is clear (green), a little hot (orange), or clipping (red). To correct, just turn down the gain til you're in the green again!
Own it for $159.99 or 6 zero-interest payments of $26.66!
