Air Mode with Presence and Harmonic Drive brings console-like character to vocals and guitar, and the included Hitmaker Expansion software covers your projects from recording to mastering.
- 2-in/2-out USB-C desktop interface with 1 mic preamp and 1 Hi-Z instrument input
- 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion with 120 dB dynamic range on the line outputs
- Air Mode with Presence and Harmonic Drive for console-style vocal and guitar tone
- Bus-powered via USB-C at 900 mA, with Loopback for capturing system audio into the DAW
Focusrite SSOLO-4G USB Audio Interface for Solo Songwriters
With the Focusrite SSOLO-4G, solo songwriters get a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface offering one mic channel and a dedicated instrument input. The RedNet conversion path is shared with Focusrite's higher-end series, and the device draws power through USB-C. Producers will appreciate the bundled Hitmaker Expansion for recording through mastering. Compact and desktop-friendly, this model is a solid fit for singer-songwriters wanting professional-level conversion.
RedNet Conversion and Dual Air Modes
Experience 120 dB dynamic range, thanks to the RedNet-derived AD/DA path. Two Air Mode flavors — Presence for added high-end detail, and Harmonic Drive for midrange saturation — shape your sound. Gain Halos light up in green or red to provide instant visual feedback.
24-bit / 192 kHz Conversion for High-Resolution Recording
How much detail makes it to your DAW depends on conversion quality. This model supports up to 24-bit / 192 kHz, while the mic preamp achieves 113 dB dynamic range and -127 dBu EIN.
- Sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz cover everything from CD-quality to high-resolution audio
- A/D Resolution: 24-bit / 192 kHz — full-range audio with mixing headroom
- Mic Preamp Dynamic Range: 113 dB (A-weighted) — clean capture of quiet and loud sources
One Mic Preamp, One Hi-Z Instrument Input
Engineers can pair the 4th-generation preamp with a dedicated Hi-Z instrument input. 48 V phantom power supports condenser microphones, and a 57 dB gain range handles demanding dynamics.
- Microphone Preamps: 1 — single channel of Focusrite's 4th-generation preamp design
- Phantom Power: +48 V — supports condenser microphones
- Hi-Z instrument input with 1 MΩ impedance preserves passive guitar pickup tone
Balanced Outputs, Custom Headphone Amp, USB-C Bus Power
Studio monitors can be fed by two balanced 6.3 mm outputs, while a custom headphone amplifier manages tracking. Power comes exclusively through USB-C, and Loopback captures system audio into the DAW.
- Line Outputs: 2 × balanced 6.3 mm TRS — feed studio monitors with 120 dB dynamic range
- Custom headphone amplifier with independent level control handles tracking
- Loopback: Yes — captures system audio into the DAW
Number of Channels: 2
This product has two channels, giving you the flexibility to connect two audio sources at once. This configuration allows you to combine different instruments and effects, enriching your sonic expression and giving you more variability.
Number of Preamps: 1
Equipped with a high-quality preamplifier that delivers clear, detailed sound from a single input channel. Ideal for smaller recording applications where you need to capture sound with minimal noise and maximum quality.
Phantom Power: Yes
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
Sample Rate
- 192 kHz
- 24 bit
Bit Depth: 24 bit
The 24-bit depth provides significantly more dynamic range and detail than standard 16-bit recording. With 24-bit depth, you can capture finer details and wider dynamic range, perfect for professional recording, mastering, and applications where accuracy and sound quality are critical.
Inputs
- XLR
- Jack 6,3 mm TS
Outputs
- Jack 6,3 mm TRS
- Headphone Jack 6,3mm TRS
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
DA Conversion: Yes
DA conversion allows digital signals to be converted to analog signals with high accuracy. This process ensures that digital audio is reproduced with minimal distortion, preserving all the fine details and dynamics of the original sound. Thanks to high-quality DA conversion, the sound is clear, rich, and true to the original when played through speakers or headphones.
AD Conversion: Yes
High-quality AD conversion ensures that every detail and dynamic range of analog audio is preserved when converted to digital form, ideal for professional recording and production. This allows analog sound sources such as microphones and instruments to be accurately recorded in digital systems.
