Elias Baca

Works as intended! Low latency makes it easier to record instruments and vocals. Software is amazing. Great package deal

Edward Merritt

The Scarlett Solo is being used in a house of worship streaming setup to bring the audio into the computer. Works better than expected. Sound quality is very improved over the previous product. I'd heard good things about the Focusrite gear, now I'm sold on them.

Lucas Jones

Fast shipping. Refurbished units work great! Does exactly what I needed it to do.

David Gibbons

Works well, great sound quality

Eric Bauberger

Great product so far. Looks new

Mark C

Just superb

Quentin Terry

For beginners like me to professionals. It's a must have.

Andrea Gamero

Very happy with our purchase from Focusrite. The product is amazing, and it arrived faster than expected. We will continue to use the Focusrite shop in the future.

McAlvarez

Excellent service!! Got to me even before estimated time!

Pierre-Luc Ratelle

Great product, almost no latency and nice choice of free plugins after the purchase.

Gregory A.

Bought the refurbished product and it’s been great! Plugged my headphones in and the neural DSP Plini plugin sounds amazing! Not to mention that the audio interface came with a bunch of software downloads. Great product and company!

Jason Mason

Before I bought this, I was unable to use my analog microphones on my desktop PC (even when I used an XRL-female to USB-male cable). The sound was horrible, even with the volume turned all the way up on Audacity. But when I got this Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen audio interface, it fixed everything. Both of my microphones now sound loud and clear on my computer. I'm very glad I discovered this product. It was pricey, but it fixed my problem.

Edward He

Easy to set up and get working right away.

Markus

Great product for the money that serves perfectly on my editing desk

Fiduciary

Great experience so far. The gain is a little low, but that's fine. The refurb came in fantastic condition, and quickly from the UK to Canada.

Manuel Arturo Leiva Talledo

This is a really compact, portable and functional device that allows me to have low latency and high quality input/output of audio signal, great for composers, live performing in low latency especially for windows users

Seb

Great product that get‘s the best sound out of my guitar and mic. It exceeded my expectations.

Jonathan

Great and USB powered is so convenient. Love the gain and volume control

CASEY SHERMAN

Great, portable, little interface that does exactly what it's mean to do, whilst delivering clean, crisp, sound quality .

Frank Shannon

This is THE total package. What you get out of this interface FAR exceeds the price. If you're looking to get more bang for your buck then look no further. - FS

Gerald Parel

I HAD to replace my 10 years old IMac and got a very decent Mac studio but of course my old ux2 toneport will not get any updates so I ended googling for hours and the Focusrite name would keep coming. Bought the cheapest option available and oh how happy am. Will probably need to upgrade it soon though. So fast and solid, simple and clean. Recordings have been so smooth since!

Mark Stevens

Small and versatile

Jonathan Ball

Build quality feels really nice, but for how much I’m paying I get almost no features… First, this is aimed at entry level/beginner people into the scene… so although professionals would most likely not care, here are some QOL features that would go a long way. 1. A hardware mono feature…. This interface only has ONE mic input… so it doesn’t make sense to have it locked to the left channel with NO way of converting it to mono, because most people buying this product will want it to be mono… if they want left and right separation, they will be buying a higher end product with multiple mic inputs. 2. Again, for ENTRY consumers… adding at least a 1 3.5mm jack, or a adapter in the box would be another massive QOL for the target consumer of this. 3. Because the software comes with this product, the software is HORRIBLE. It adds zero additional functions and just breaks the operation of the mic. I had to uninstall the software and drivers to make my set up work again. There is no tweaking or manual control, no switching source to mono or isolating once source over the other… there is no added benefit at this beginner level tier. I’m sure with higher end products, this software is very useful… but for this product and it’s target audience… it does nothing but remove features. (It adds about -30db to the mic input… on default windows drivers mic sounds great at ~60% gain, but with your drivers and software, gain MAXED, you can BARELY hear the mic with audio at max) Honestly if I had known all these things going in I probably would not have gotten this audio interface… kind of disappointing Not a 1 star because phantom power built in is really nice, and have a instrument/line input is nice… plus build quality and ease of use (plug and play) is really convenient… but missing the target audience this much is pretty unacceptable for a “entry level” audio interface in my opinion as the target audience…

Jorge Catalan

I haven used it it is for a present, not for me. I do not even know what that is for.

Becki Carrington

This is a Christmas present, however it came immaculately packaged and we’re sure the recipient will be thrilled.

Mr. Adrian Coppin

Blooming’ brilliant. Robust construction, easy to use and set up. And it takes up next to no space. What’s not to like, eh?

GARY MOORE

The included software is crap! its a hassle to register it and then find out it don't work. The Solo is excellent!!

Gary Clements

Fantastic product and package coupled with an after care service that's second to none.

Robert Jones

I loved my first Scarlett Solo so much that I ordered another one for a second computer. It is super easy to use and looks great on the desk.

Andres Camilo Cardona Giraldo

it is exactly what I was expected, great product!

Joshuah

I love it, I've used it several dozen hours since it's arrived last week. Works great with both my Mac and iPad and handles anything else I plug in.

Robert Thomas

Great little interface

Roberto Hernandez Figueroa

everything was great, ordered it from mexico arrived on time, just had a problem with payment using a visa credit card, use paypal instead 👍🏻

Nicky Grandin

Superb service and product. Three months in since we bought the Scarlett Solo as a gift for our eldest, working perfectly and she's thoroughly enjoying it.

Sandy Abernethy

Works fine except I am experiencing a hum when computer is connected to AC. Some sort of grounding issue I’m yet to solve.

Bruce X

I was not aware “usb powered” meant it has to be delivered luged into a computer to work. Any other type of usb power will not work. Absolutely useless. Heading for the garbage as it’s too expensive to return to England!

Ilya

Feel thé différence between with and without is like a total New point of view on the audio production and the pleasure to Heart It.

Josue

Got the refurbished one, can't tell the difference with a new one

William Noonan

Bought refurbished unit. My experience with it has been great so far. I haven't had any problems with it. I assume that it has been thoroughly tested and is the same as a new unit. Great customer service. Great experience.

With a simple piece of equipment you can get incredible recordings, it's very easy to use and includes great software.

Charlie Benson

Incredible for a solo artist or small studio that only needs the 2 inputs.

Damian Dalzell

Good interface, but i couldnt install pro tools or any software that was related to iLok.

Faysal

I had encountered some problem with customs but a week after I received my package, the only negative thing I had was that I did not see my receipt inside the box and the warranty

Clark

Not cheap, not too expensive, great quality for value. I don’t normally leave reviews but had to for this as I’m so content.

Michael R Islas

Good work. Everyone recommends that I wait and get your product.

Jake Tottenham

I ordered this over a week ago they fedex. Last I checked they “cancelled” the package, so no I haven’t received my order at all nor have I gotten money back. Waste of money don’t buy.

Apurv Puri

What a well built small powerhouse. I had literally no experience in the recording game and this is the easiest thing to start up and use. In about an hour to two hours you can be set up, recorded, and have a track minimally EQ'ed. Fantastic product.
