The 4th-gen 4i4 is the best-sounding Scarlett audio interface yet. Its 4th-generation microphone preamps deliver 69dB of usable gain with a clear, detailed sound that holds up to tracks recorded with higher-end equipment, and Focusrite's acclaimed Air Mode ups the ante with added high-end presence and harmonic-rich drive reminiscent of a top-of-the-line studio console. Its hi-Z inputs were tailor-made for electric guitarists, yielding an amp-like feel guaranteed to inspire. The 4i4 is equipped with studio-grade AD/DA converters culled from Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces, supplying you with crystal-clear sound and an impressive 120dB of dynamic range.

Auto Gain optimizes your recording levels with the touch of a button, while Clip Safe automatically adjusts your gain level if you're at risk for clipping. The 4i4 includes front-panel Dynamic Gain Halos for at-a-glance monitoring of your input and output signal levels. Using headphones with this audio interface is a joy thanks to its powerful, custom-designed headphone amplifier, which includes an independent level control for loud, clear, accurate monitoring and playback. The 4i4's Easy Start function guides beginning users through getting setup while providing recording tips and other helpful content. You also get loopback functionality, enabling you to route stereo audio from music apps straight to your DAW via virtual inputs.
