The new third-generation Focusrite Scarlett range.
Focusrite have launched their third-generation series of Scarlett USB-C audio interfaces, featuring upgraded mic preamps with extended gain and dynamic range, and the 'Air' ISA transformer-based preamp emulation from their more expensive Clarett and Red series. There are six models in total, from the £100$110 Scarlett Solo, which features one mic input with phantom power and one switchable line/instrument input with line-level direct monitoring outs for zero-latency monitoring, right up to the top-of-the-range £450$500 18-in, 20-out 18i20, with built-in talkback and four direct monitor outs for speaker switching. All six models ship with cut-down versions of Pro Tools and Ableton Live, plus bundled plug-ins from XLN Audio, Softube, and Focusrite themselves (the Red plug-in bundle). There's even a three-month free Splice Sounds subscription.
