When you consider the Focusrite lineup was developed by Rupert Neve it should go without saying that these are quality interfaces. The OctoPre is merely and extension adding 8 add’l channels. In conjunction with the interface it’s a first class setup. Add a Flock Audio patch-bay and its gold!
Thank you for the review! What is your opinion on the headphone outs? I have been trying to compare the Clarett+ headphone outs with the Little Labs Monotor receiving line outs 9 and 10 and I'm having a hard time hearing a difference. It could just be the audio I'm listening to. I do notice I have to turn the Clarett headphone pot to 3:00 to match the Monotor at 12:00, so the Monotor doesn't have to be turned up as far, but I'm not noticing if there's anything else different. I'd like opinions! Thank you!
Just for information. I recently bought a Focusrite Clarett+ 8 Pre hopefully as an upgrade from my Tascam 1608. I was interested in 3 things mainly. Improved DACs/mic pre`s, the look ( I am tired of the black controls on the black facia of the Tascam ), and particularly the Loopback function. Unfortunately and disappointingly, the Clarett + does not have the Loopback function! Annoying as the cheaper Scarlet range has it and the previous Clarett range also did. Maybe they should have called it Clarett minus to identify reduced functionality. I will return it but I do not think I will go for the 3rd gen Scarlet as it has the annoying black controls on black facia, crappy headphone outs and it`s unlikely to have noticeably better pre`s than the Tascam.
How does the clarett 8pre+ compare to the clarett 8pre Thunderbolt audio interface? Also what connection is the 8pre+? I don't want to go down the thunderbolt route again after the hassle I've had with getting thunderbolt to work with Windows
Brilliant! Given me some great ideas for additional uses for the 8 Pre. Never thought about routing camera and lavs. New subscriber gained 👍
I have a claret+ 4 pre.. it’s a c connection, not thunderbolt.. it’s very good, worth the money.. I use Windows as well

Fantastic. My Clarett + 8 Pre arrives tomorrow to replace my trusty TB2 Clarett 4 pre. Excellent content, easy to follow. Following and subscribed
Hey, man! Good video! What's the previous converter?
Sounds so clean. Got the OctoPre recently and it’s equally impressive.
How were you amping the acoustic ?😊
May I ask is this an update to the OctoPre? I look on forums but everyone is arguing about stuff rather than answering a question, cheers 🎉
