Focusrite Clarett 8Pre USB User Manual

12
When mixing, you can connect several pairs of additional speakers (mid-field, near-field, etc.) to
pairs of outputs and use Focusrite Control to route your mix to the different outputs as desired, to
check your mix on the different types of speaker.
IMPORTANT:
MONITOR 1 and 2 outputs incorporate “anti-thump” circuitry that protects your speakers if
the Clarett 8Pre USB is turned on while the speakers (and amplifier if used) are connected
and active.
LINE OUTPUTS 3 to 10 do not have this circuitry.
If you’re using additional speakers connected to these outputs, we recommend that you
power your Clarett 8Pre USB on first, then turn on the speakers or power amplifier.
But get into the habit of following the general rule in any case - it is always good audio
practice to turn on a speaker system of any kind after turning on the equipment feeding it.
