1. MIC/LINE INPUTS 3 to 8 – Combo XLR input sockets - connect further microphones or line
level signals via XLR or ¼” jacks as appropriate. Either ¼” TRS (balanced) or TS (unbalanced)
jack plugs can be used for line level signals.
2. LINE OUTPUTS 3 to 10 – eight balanced analogue line outputs on ¼” jack sockets; use TRS
jacks for a balanced connection or TS jacks for unbalanced. Signals routed to these outputs
are defined in Focusrite Control, for driving alternative speakers (i.e., midfield, nearfield,
etc.), the additional speakers in a multichannel monitoring system, or to send audio to
outboard FX processors.
3. MONITOR 1 and 2 – two balanced analogue line outputs on ¼” jack sockets (with “anti-
thump”); use TRS jacks for a balanced connection or TS jacks for unbalanced. These are also
Line Outputs 1 and 2, and will generally be used for driving the main L and R speakers of your
monitoring system. However, output routing may be customised in Focusrite Control.
4. OPTICAL IN and OUT – two TOSLINK connectors, each carrying eight channels of digital audio
in ADAT format at 44.1/48 kHz sample rate or four channels at 88.2/96 kHz. This input is also
capable of accepting a stereo optical S/PDIF source: this option is selected from Focusrite
Control. Note that this input is disabled at sample rates of 176.4/192 kHz.
5. WORD CLOCK OUTPUT – a BNC connector carrying the Clarett+ 8Pre’s word clock; this may
be used to synchronise other digital audio equipment.
6. – USB connector; connect the Clarett+ 8Pre to your computer with a USB cable.
7. MIDI IN and MIDI OUT – standard 5-pin DIN sockets to connect external MIDI equipment. You
can send/receive MIDI data between your computer and external MIDI devices.
8. SPDIF IN and OUT – two phono (RCA) sockets carrying two-channel digital audio signals in
and out of the Clarett+ 8Pre in S/PDIF format. Like all other inputs and outputs, the routing of
S/PDIF signals may be customised in Focusrite Control.
9. AC mains – standard IEC (AC) connector. The Clarett+ 8Pre is fitted with a “Universal” power
supply, and will run from any AC mains voltage from 100 to 240 V, at 50 or 60 Hz.
