Focusrite has announced Scarlett Solo, their most affordable Scarlett audio interface.
Compact and simple, Scarlett Solo is still every bit a Scarlett, with a dynamic range of 106dB and enviable noise and distortion performance. It has the same preamp quality and signature red metal case as the rest of the range; the only difference is the size - and the price.
