3. Using the Clarett 8Pre as a stand-alone mixer
The Clarett 8Pre has the ability to store a mix configuration defined in Focusrite Control within the
hardware. This feature lets you configure it – for example, as an on-stage keyboard mixer – using
your computer, and then upload the configuration to the device itself. Then you can use the Clarett
8Pre as a simple, rack-mounting mixer as part of your keyboard rig to control the overall mix of
multiple keyboards.

In the example illustrated, three stereo keyboards are connected to the rear panel inputs of the
Clarett 8Pre; Outputs 3 and 4 go to the main PA system. The performer can adjust the volume of the
individual keyboards from the front panel; he/she can also independently adjust the level they hear
the mixed keyboards at through the speakers.
