1. LINE INPUTS 5 to 8 – four balanced analogue line inputs for Channels 5 to 8, on ¼” TRS jack
sockets. Connect further line level signals here using ¼” TRS (balanced) or TS (unbalanced)
jack plugs.
2. LINE OUTPUTS 1 to 4 – four balanced analogue line outputs on ¼” jack sockets; use TRS jacks
for a balanced connection or TS jacks for unbalanced. Line Outputs 1 and 2 will generally be
used for driving the main L and R speakers of your monitoring system, while Outputs 3 and 4
can be used for driving alternative speakers (i.e., mideld, neareld, etc.), providing foldback
mixes or to send audio to outboard FX processors. The signals routed to all the outputs may
be dened in Focusrite Control.
3. OPTICAL INPUT – a TOSLINK connector carrying eight channels of digital audio in ADAT
format at 44.1/48 kHz sample rate, four channels at 88.2/96 kHz or two channels at
176.4/192 kHz. These are additional inputs to the Clarett 4Pre, and appear within Focusrite
Control as Inputs 13 to 20. This input can also be congured to work with an optical S/PDIF
source.
4.
– Thunderbolt™ connector; connect the Clarett 4Pre to your computer with a suitable
Thunderbolt™ cable.
5. MIDI IN and MIDI OUT – standard 5-pin DIN sockets for connection of external MIDI equipment,
allowing MIDI data to/from your computer to be received and distributed to additional MIDI
devices.
SPDIF IN and OUT – two phono (RCA) sockets carrying two-channel digital audio signals in or
out of the Clarett 4Pre in S/PDIF format. Like all the other inputs and outputs, the routing of
S/PDIF signals may be customised in Focusrite Control. The S/PDIF Input appears in
Focusrite Control as Inputs 9 and 10 and the S/PDIF Output as Outputs 7 and 8. The S/PDIF
inputs are functional up to 96 kHz sample rate.
6. External DC power input – power the Clarett 4Pre via the separate AC adaptor (PSU) supplied.
The PSU is a 12 V DC unit rated at 2 A.
7. Power On/Off switch.
8. Kensington security slot– secure your Clarett 4Pre to a suitable structure if desired. Please
