Introducing Auto Gain and Clip Safe:
A complete recording toolkit includes Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite, Ableton Live Lite, and Hitmaker Expansion software bundle; featuring Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 for guitar, Addictive Keys and Addictive Drums from XLN Audio, Antares Auto-Tune Access, Native Instruments MASSIVE and more. Amped-up headphone output for hi-res, studio-grade playback anywhere. Personalized Easy Start, 24/7/365 Support and three-year warranty make sure Scarlett 4i4 is ready whenever you are.
The multi-instrumentalist's studio
Set up mics for your voice and guitar and plug into 4i4's 4th-Generation preamps - Scarlett's clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range. Hook up an electric guitar to one of 4i4's hi-Z instrument inputs - it feels just like an amp. Plug synths and grooveboxes straight into the super-high-quality line inputs. Connect your favourite outboard gear to the additional line… read more outputs. Scarlett brings Focusrite's professional sound quality to whatever you're recording.
Find your signature sound
For standout lead vocal and instrument tracks, Scarlett's re-engineered Air mode takes your sound's unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding truly musical presence and rich harmonic drive, just like a classic console in a big money studio. Trust us, you'll never want to record without it.
Let Scarlett set your levels
Scarlett's Dynamic Gain Halos make setting your levels quick and easy with any mic - or just select Auto Gain and let Scarlett do it for you. Hit the button and play for ten seconds, Scarlett will set the perfect level for whatever you're recording.
Make every take a keeper
While you're playing, Clip Safe is all ears. Checking your levels up to 96,000 times a second - more than the best studio engineers - Clip Safe will automatically adjust the gain if you're at risk of clipping, so you can lose yourself in the music, without losing any takes.
Capture every detail
Hit the red button and you're recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters direct from Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces - as found in countless high-end studios around the world. Squeeze every last drop of detail out of your recordings without sacrificing any sound quality.
Now hear this
A custom-designed headphone amp and huge dynamic range set the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from Scarlett. Scarlett drives high impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before. With 4 line outputs, you can easily connect different monitor setups. 4i4 also has independent controls for your headphones and monitors so you can record, mix and play back audio however you want.
Loopback
Need samples? Make your own with Loopback. Send stereo audio from your music apps and other software straight to your DAW with 4i4's virtual inputs. You can also use Loopback to mix computer audio into your live streams.

"The 4i4 Gen 4 Will Transform Your Workflow"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Upgrading from a $50 M-Audio bought off Amazon to the Focusrite 4i4 Gen 4 has been nothing short of revelatory. This interface captures every nuance of sound with a clarity that my old gear simply couldn’t deliver. The precision of the preamps and the overall transparency of the signal make a dramatic difference; each recording feels true to life and instantly more professional. It’s like the Focusrite opens up a new world of detail in every take, allowing me to trust that what I record is exactly what I hear. For anyone looking to step up their recording game, with its solid metal body, the 4i4 Gen 4 is a solid investment that will transform your workflow.
