Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this Clarett+ 8Pre, a high-performance and immensely capable studio
centrepiece for PC or Mac. Eight next-generation, high-headroom, low-noise, low-distortion Clarett+
mic preamps - featuring the unique All-analogue Air function - help you capture superbly clear
recordings, and independent A-D and D-A converters with improved dynamic range bring you closer
than ever to your music.
This User Guide provides a detailed explanation of the hardware to help you achieve a thorough
understanding of the product's operational features. We recommend you take the time to read the
Guide, so you are fully aware of all the features the Clarett+ 8Pre has to offer.
