3. Using the Clarett 8Pre USB as a stand-alone mixer
The Clarett 8Pre USB 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 USB as a simple, rack-mounting mixer as part of your keyboard rig to control the overall mix
of multiple keyboards.
To FOH Mixer
In the example illustrated, three stereo keyboards are connected to the rear panel inputs of the
Clarett 8Pre USB; 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.
