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
