The Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Gen is a complete recording bundle built around the Scarlett Solo USB audio interface, paired with the CM25 MkIII condenser microphone and SH-450 closed-back headphones. Everything you need to record vocals, acoustic instruments, and electric guitar, right out of the box.

The Interface

The Scarlett Solo provides one ultra-low-noise mic preamp and one Hi-Z instrument input, connected via USB-C and fully bus powered. Its converters deliver 120dB of dynamic range, derived from Focusrite's flagship RedNet range. Two Air modes (Presence and Harmonic Drive) add high-end clarity or mid-range warmth to your recordings, and Dynamic Gain Halos around each gain knob give real-time visual feedback when setting levels.

Microphone and Headphones

The CM25 MkIII is a cardioid condenser microphone with a bright, detailed character well suited to vocals and acoustic guitar. The SH-450 headphones are closed-back, over-ear monitors with a 15Hz to 30kHz frequency response and comfortable pads for long sessions.
