It suits home studio owners who work with synthesisers, grooveboxes, outboard equipment, or anything that benefits from having dedicated line inputs and outputs beyond the standard two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTwo Ultra-Low-Noise Preamps\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 4i4 carries two redesigned mic preamps, shared with the 2i2, delivering a gain range of 69dB, an EIN of -127dBu, and a dynamic range of 116dB. Both preamps are remote-controllable via Focusrite Control 2, and accept mic, line, or instrument signals, making them flexible enough to handle microphones, guitars, and line-level sources on the same input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAuto Gain and Clip Safe\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAuto Gain analyses an input signal and sets an appropriate gain level automatically, removing the guesswork from level-setting before a take. Clip Safe works during recording, monitoring the signal continuously and adjusting gain automatically if the level is at risk of clipping. Between the two, the 4i4 handles level management with minimal manual intervention, which is particularly useful when recording alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFour Inputs and Four Outputs\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBeyond the two preamp inputs, the 4i4 adds two additional fixed line inputs for connecting synths, grooveboxes, and other line-level sources directly. On the output side, four balanced line outputs allow monitors, outboard gear, and other destinations to be connected simultaneously, each with its own independent mix. This makes it straightforward to run a separate headphone mix for a performer alongside a monitor mix for the engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMIDI I\/O\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDedicated MIDI In and Out ports allow hardware synthesisers, drum machines, controllers, and other MIDI equipment to connect directly to the interface without needing a separate MIDI interface. This keeps the setup compact and the signal path clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAir Modes\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTwo re-engineered Air modes give the 4i4 access to a classic large-format console character. Presence mode adds a high-end lift that brings vocals and acoustic instruments forward in a mix. Harmonic Drive mode adds mid-range harmonic content that thickens guitars, vocals, and anything else that needs more character and punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHeadphone Output and Monitoring\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe custom-designed headphone amplifier drives high-impedance headphones with a dynamic range of up to 115dB at 300Ω. The headphone output has its own independent mix, separate from the monitor outputs, allowing different mixes to be sent to performers and engineers at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAudio Quality\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen uses converters drawn from Focusrite's flagship RedNet range, delivering 24-bit\/192kHz recording with a 120dB dynamic range on the line outputs and a 130dB dynamic range on the DAC. THD+N on the line outputs sits at -112dB, slightly cleaner than the 2i2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFocusrite Control 2\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFocusrite Control 2 manages the 4i4 on Windows and macOS, and pairs with an iOS and Android app for remote control of the interface from anywhere in the recording space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSoftware Bundle\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen ships with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, and Cubase LE, alongside the Hitmaker Expansion bundle which adds a range of instruments and effects plugins from third-party developers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKEY FEATURES: Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 4th Gen\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTwo ultra-low-noise mic preamps, 69dB gain range, -127dBu EIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFour inputs and four balanced line outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTwo additional fixed line inputs for synths and line-level sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMIDI In and Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAuto Gain and Clip Safe for hands-off level management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTwo Air modes: Presence and Harmonic Drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIndependent mixes for headphones, monitors, and line outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e24-bit\/192kHz, 120dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUSB-C connectivity, bus powered (1.5A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eIncludes Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, Cubase LE, and Hitmaker Expansion\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Focusrite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58037158871375,"sku":"MOSC0034","price":209.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3344\/9551\/files\/focusrite-scarlett-4i4__01921.webp?v=1782318743","url":"https:\/\/www.audiodirect.co.uk\/products\/focusrite-scarlett-4i4-4th-gen-usb-c-audio-interface","provider":"Audio Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
