Examples of Usage
The Clarett 2Pre USB is an excellent choice for numerous recording and monitoring applications.
Some typical congurations are shown below.
1. Recording a solo artist
This shows a typical conguration for multitrack recording with DAW software on your computer.
In this case, two sources – a microphone and a guitar – are connected to the Clarett 2Pre USB’s
inputs. As the guitar is connected to Input 2, ensure INST mode is selected for Input 2 from Focusrite
Control, and the INST LED is illuminated.
The connection to the computer running DAW software is via a USB cable. This will carry all the input
and output signals between the DAW and the Clarett 2Pre USB. Once the audio setup is correctly
congured in the DAW, each input source will be available for recording.
A mix of the recorded tracks will be available at Line Outputs 1 and 2, so you can hear the results on
the speakers.
