The Solo provides one mic preamp and one instrument input, and the product line builds up from there to include the 2i2, 4i4, 8i6, 18i8, and 18i20 interfaces.

The Scarlett Solo is one of the most straightforward interfaces available and offers an approachable price point that makes it an attractive entry level or travel interface. The value factor explains in part why the Scarlett family has become so widely used. Other updates include improved dynamic range, more headroom, additional I/O configurations, a USB-C connection to minimize latency, a louder and cleaner headphone driver, and a cleaner front panel aesthetic. Depending on the model, this setting can be enabled in the input section of the Focusrite Control software, or by pressing a dedicated button on the front panel. The Air feature emulates the sound of a transformer-based preamp and adds a high-end sheen to the signal. Previously available only in the Red and Clarett range of interfaces, Air is now included in the 3 rd Gen Scarlett lineup. Most notably is the Air effect, which is inspired by the classic Focusrite ISA mic preamp. The third Generation of Scarlett brings a range of upgrades.
