Third-generation USB audio interface

Compact, portable, studio-grade sound. The Scarlett has long been one of the best-selling audio interfaces on the market. Thanks to its affordable price and premium-grade sound, the Scarlett series has been a fan favourite of many musicians, from beginners to professionals. The new and improved design features revamped preamps, upgraded audio fidelity, new interactive onboarding and rock-solid, low-latency USB driver.

The Solo features a single XLR input for accommodating an XLR connection. It also features built-in 48V Phantom Power, allowing you to record using studio-grade condenser microphones.

New and improved preamps deliver pristine sound

Focusrite continue the tradition of creating the best quality audio interfaces they can. With top class components that help their interfaces stand out from the crowd.

Enable Air for added richness

One of the most prominent new features of the Scarlett is Air Mode. When Air Mode is enabled, the preamps can reproduce the classic Air effect from the original ISA mic preamps. This Air technology is ideal for recording acoustic guitar performances or for recording vocals performances that are on the softer side.

Shure SM7B Dynamic Studio Microphone

Why choose the Shure SM7B?

The brilliance of the Shure SM7B mic starts with its ability to isolate a single sound source, making this a perfect choice for professionals seeking precision. It only picks up what’s directly in front of it, utilising a cardioid polar pattern. That means you just point it at your audio and get to recording great sound.

The Shure SM7B cardioid dynamic microphone can also withstand profoundly loud sound, capable of sound pressure levels of over 180dB before distorting. That’s the same level as a Space Shuttle when it launches. This means you won’t have to worry about your amp stack, drum kit, or singing close to the microphone.

Quality you can see, hear, and feel

Despite its intricate design, this Shure dynamic microphone isn’t fragile. The high-end sound is matched by a high-end construction. The matte black chassis is built using steel and aluminium enamel. There’s also an internal ‘air suspension’ that stabilizes the microphone, so you won’t get any impact noises.

What’s more, you can make EQ changes quickly. There are two switches on the Shure SM7B, one that rolls off bass and another that boosts presence. Both controls push the Shure SM7B into new territory, from a warm, humane sound into a more energetic, hyped-up feel. It’s just another string to the bow that makes it so well suited to recording in studios.

Coming through loud and clear

Shure microphones are known for giving crystal clear, uncompromised recordings - and the Shure SM7B is no different. So, you can be sure your audience will listen for longer. This clarity is achieved by a humbucking coil, stopping interference from electronics so you can record close to computers and mixing desks without compromising your audio. What’s more, the built-in pop shield deadens any plosives, breath noise, or environmental sounds.

How the Shure SM7B got so famous

So, what exactly makes the Shure SM7B microphone so popular? It’s the fact that you can point it at anything and get a sound fit for broadcast. Just take a look at the long list of places it’s been used.

It was the basis for the searing Arctic Monkey’s single ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’. It was even the weapon of choice for Quincy Jones’s team when recording Thriller. Other artists who have used this legendary piece of gear range from John Mayer and Don Was to Metallica, Billy Idol, and My Chemical Romance. All because it makes it simpler to record something special in both live and studio settings.
