Connecting your Scarlett Solo
IMPORTANT - WINDOWS USERS: .Before .you .connect .the .Scarlett .Solo .to .your .
computer, .please .complete .the .software .installation .according .to .the .instructions .
on .page .5. .This .will .ensure .that .the .hardware .uses .the .correct .drivers, .and .will .
prevent .unexpected .behaviour.
Your .Scarlett .Solo .has .a .single .USB .2.0 .port .(on .the .rear .panel). .Once .the .software .installation .is .
complete, . simply . connect . it . to . your . computer; . we . recommend . you . use . the . USB . cable . provided. . .
(Note .that .Scarlett .Solo .is .a .USB .2.0 .device, .and .thus .the .USB .connection .requires .a .USB .2.0-compliant .
port .on .your .computer. .It .will .not .operate .correctly .with .USB .1.0/1.1 .ports.)
Audio Setup in your DAW
The .Scarlett .Solo .is .compatible .with .any .Windows-based .DAW .that .supports .ASIO .or .WDM .and .any .
Mac-based .DAW .that .uses .Core .Audio. .After .installing .the .drivers .(Windows .only) .and .connecting .the .
hardware, .you .can .start .using .the .Scarlett .Solo .with .the .DAW .of .your .choice. .To .allow .you .to .get .started .
if .you .do .not .already .have .a .DAW .application .installed .on .your .computer, .both .Pro .Tools .| .First .and .
Ableton .Live .Lite .are .included; .these .will .be .available .to .you .once .you’ve .downloaded .and .activated .
your .software .on-line. . .To .install .either .DAW, .download .and .save .the .desired .installer .file .from .your .
on-screen .instructions.
Operating . instructions . for . both . Pro . Tools . | . First . and . Ableton . Live . Lite . are . beyond . the . scope . .
of . this . User . Guide, . but . both . applications . include . a . full . set . of . Help . files. . You . can . also . .
find . additional . resources . (including . a . video . tutorial . on . getting . started . with . Ableton . Live . Lite) . at . .
.
www.focusrite.com/getting-started .
Please .note .– .your .DAW .may .not .automatically .select .Scarlett .Solo .as .its .default .I/O .device. .In .this .
case, .you .must .manually .select .the .driver .on .your .DAW’s .

Examples of Usage
The .Scarlett .Solo .is .an .ideal .audio .interface .for .many .DAW .applications .running .on .a .laptop .or .other .
computer, .PC .or .Mac.
A .typical .set .of .connections .is .illustrated .below:
Connecting a microphone or instrument
This .setup .illustrates .a .typical .configuration .for .recording .using .DAW .software .on .your .Mac .or .PC. .
In .this .case, .you .might .record .vocals .through .Input .1 .and .guitar .through .Input .2 .into .your .recording .
application, .while .monitoring .the .playback .from .the .DAW .via .headphones.
9
Scarlett . Solo’s . inputs . are . on . the . front . panel; . Input . 1 . uses . a . standard . 3-pin . XLR . socket, . and . is .
configured .to .work .with .microphones .of .most .types; .you .will .find .a .mating .XLR .male .connector .on .
the .end .of .the .mic .cable .supplied. .Input .2 .uses .a .¼” .(6.35 .mm) .jack .socket .(2-pole .when .in .instrument .
mode .and .3-pole .when .used .as .a .line .input), .and .is .intended .to .accept .higher .level .signals .from .a .
guitar .or .bass.
Recording with a microphone
The .Scarlett .CM25 .MkII .microphone .supplied .with .the .Scarlett .Solo .Studio .package .is .a .studio .quality .
condenser . mic . which . is . ideal . for . recording . vocals . and . most . acoustic . instruments. . Connect . the . .
CM25 .MkII .to .the .Scarlett .Solo’s .Input .1 .with .the .cable .supplied. .Note .that .the .cable .has .a .male .
and . a . female . connector; . the . female . end . connects . to . the . microphone . and . the . male . end . into . the . .
Scarlett .Solo.
Condenser .microphones .(also .sometimes .referred .to .as .“capacitor” .microphones) .require .a .source .
of . DC . power . to . operate. . This . is . almost . always . supplied . by . “phantom” . powering . from . the . mic . .
pre-amp .to .which .the .mic .is .connected .(early .and .special-purpose .condenser .mics .might .have .a .
separate .power .supply). .For .the .CM25 .MkII .(or .any .other .condenser .mic) .to .work .with .the .Scarlett .
recommend .that .you .follow .the .following .sequence:
• . Turn .the .input .gain .[2] .to .minimum
• . Connect .the .microphone
• . Press .the .48V .button
• . Increase .the .input .gain .to .the .required .level
Other .types .of .microphone .(including .the .common .dynamic .type) .do .not .require .phantom .
power, . and . may . suffer . damaged . if . phantom . power . is . applied. . Some . cheaper . condenser .
microphones .are .able .to .operate .from .a .lower .phantom .power .voltage .– .typically .15 .V. .You .
should .check .the .mic .spec .to .see .if .it .is .safe .to .operate .it .from .48 .V; .if .not, .obtain .a .suitable .
external .phantom .power .supply.

Microphone Dos and Don’ts
A .guide .to .microphone .technique .is .beyond .the .scope .of .this .User .Guide .(though .many .excellent .
books .on .the .subject .are .available), .but .if .you .are .new .to .recording .with .a .studio .quality .microphone, .
you .need .to .observe .a .few .golden .rules.
DO .use .a .mic .stand. .The .CM25 .MkII .has .an .industry-standard .5/8” .threaded .insert .which .allows .it .
to .be .mounted .on .most .mic .stands. .An .3/8” .adaptor .is .included .to .allow .it .to .be .fitted .to .mic .stands .
that .have .this .thread .size. .Inexpensive .short, .long .and .boom .stands .are .readily .available .from .music .
stores.
DO . observe . the . microphone’s . orientation. . The . CM25 . MkII . has . a . cardioid . response . pattern; . this .
basically .means .that .it .has .a .“front” .and .a .“back”, .and .if .you .point .it .the .wrong .way .round, .it .will .
sound .odd. .The .front .of .the .CM25 .MkII .can .be .identified .by .the .CM25 .MkII .logo.
This logo identifies the front of the microphone.
DON’T .ignore .the .room .acoustics. .You .probably .won’t .have .the .luxury .of .a .recording .studio’s .perfect .
acoustics. . Be . aware . of . how . reverberant . the . room . is. . Reverberation . is . neither . good . nor . bad, . but .
frequently .inappropriate! .Some .instruments .will .benefit .from .being .recorded .in .a .reverberant .space, .
others . won’t. . A . “dead” . acoustic . is . generally . better . than . a . “live” . one, . because . reverberation . can .
be .added .electronically .in .the .recording .process, .but .room .reverberation .on .the .recording .can’t .be .
removed.
DON’T .blow .into .a .microphone .to .test .it! .Lightly .rub .or .scratch .the .grille .instead.
DO .experiment .with .microphone .placement. .Remember .you .will .not .only .be .recording .the .vocal .or .
instrument, .but .the .effect .of .the .microphone .position .relative .to .the .voice .or .instrument .as .well, .and .
this .will .be .affected .by .the .room .acoustics. .Moving .the .mic .around, .and .trying .recordings .at .different .
distances .and .angles .to .the .source .will .produce .different .sounding .results, .some .of .which .will .be .
better .than .others.
DO .use .the .CM25 .MkII .to .mic .up .a .guitar .amplifier .if .you .want .to .include .the .contribution .to .the .sound .
that .the .amplifier .makes. .But .be .aware .that .very .high .sound .levels .can .be .produced .very .close .to .
the .loudspeaker, .and .if .you .need .high .volume, .you .may .get .a .better .result .by .moving .the .mic .away .
from .the .amplifier. .Also, .be .aware .that .you .will .get .a .subtly .different .sound .if .you .point .the .mic .at .the .
centre .of .the .loudspeaker .cone .compared .to .the .edge.
DON’T .forget .that .a .microphone .is .utterly .unforgiving .– .it .will .not .only .pick .up .what .you .are .trying .to .
record, .but .any .other .sound .source .in .the .room, .like .a .clock, .the .aircon, .heating, .or .a .chair .creaking. .
You .know .how .you .take .those .holiday .photos .of .a .great .bit .of .scenery .and .it’s .only .when .you .look .at .
the .pictures .later .that .you .see .the .power .cables .right .across .the .view? .It’s .the .same .with .recording. .
You .might .not .notice .extraneous .sounds .at .the .time, .but .the .mic .will .and .you’ll .hear .them .on .the .
recording. .To .remove .any .unwanted .low .frequency .rumble, .it .is .advisable .that .the .High .Pass .Filter .
(HPF) .on .the .mic’s .DAW .channel .is .enabled.
11
Using Direct Monitoring
You .will .frequently .hear .the .term .“latency” .used .in .connection .with .digital .audio .systems. .In .the .case .
of .the .simple .recording .application .described .above, .latency .will .be .the .time .it .takes .for .your .input .
signals .to .pass .through .your .recording .device .(your .Mac .or .PC) .and .the .associated .software. .Latency .
can .be .a .problem .for .a .performer .who .wishes .to .record .while .monitoring .their .input .signals. .
Scarlett .Solo .is .fitted .with .a .“Direct .Monitoring” .option, .which .overcomes .this .problem. .Setting .the .
front .panel .DIRECT MONITOR .switch .to .ON .will .route .your .input .signals .directly .to .Scarlett .Solo’s .
headphone .and .main .monitor .outputs. .This .enables .you .to .hear .yourself .with .zero .latency .– .i.e., .in .
“real .time” .– .along .with .the .computer .playback. .The .input .signals .to .your .computer .are .not .affected .
in .any .way .by .this .setting.
When .“Direct .Monitoring” .is .set .to .ON, .ensure .that .your .recording .software .is .not .set .to .route .its .
input .(what .you .are .currently .recording) .to .its .output. .If .it .is, .you .will .hear .yourself .twice, .with .one .
signal .audibly .delayed .as .an .echo.
Headphone monitoring
The .Scarlett .Solo .Studio .package .includes .a .pair .of .high .quality .headphones, .the .Scarlett .HP60 .MkII. .
They .are .lightweight .and .durable, .and .should .prove .comfortable .to .wear .for .extended .periods. .The .
headband .is .adjustable.
The .HP60 .MkII .has .a .low .noise, .oxygen-free .copper .cable, .fitted .with .a .¼” .(6.35 .mm) .3-pole .(TRS) .
jack .plug. .This .should .be .connected .to .the .socket .at .the .right .hand .side .of .the .Scarlett .Solo’s .front .
panel .(indicated .by .a . symbol). .The .Scarlett .Solo’s .headphone .output .is, .of .course, .suitable .for .use .
with .other .models .of .headphones.
The .volume .in .the .headphones .can .be .adjusted .by .the .rotary .MONITOR .control.
Please .be .aware .that .headphones .are .capable .of .generating .very .high .sound .pressure .levels .
at .the .ear; .prolonged .exposure .to .high .sound .levels .may .impair .your .hearing. .Never .turn .
headphones .volume .up .any .further .than .necessary.
12
Connecting Scarlett Solo to loudspeakers
The .phono .(RCA) .outputs .on .the .rear .panel .can .be .used .to .connect .monitoring .speakers. .Self-powered .
speakers .(e.g., .typical .computer .speakers .or .active .monitors) .incorporate .internal .amplifiers, .and .
may .be .connected .directly. .Larger, .passive .loudspeakers .will .require .a .separate .stereo .amplifier; .in .
this .case, .the .rear .panel .outputs .should .be .connected .to .the .amplifier’s .inputs.
Connecting .active .speakers
Connecting .passive .speakers
The .line .output .connectors .are .standard .phono .(RCA) .sockets. .Typical .consumer .(hi-fi) .amplifiers .
and .small .powered .monitors .will .have .inputs .on .phono .(RCA) .sockets .or .a .single .3.5 .mm .3-pole .jack .
plug .(intended .for .direct .connection .to .a .computer). .In .either .case, .use .a .suitable .connecting .cable .
with .phono .plugs .(RCA .jacks) .at .one .end. .
Note: .You .run .the .risk .of .creating .an .audio .feedback .loop .if .loudspeakers .are .active .at .the .same .time .
as .a .microphone! .We .recommend .that .you .always .turn .off .(or .turn .down) .monitoring .loudspeakers .
while .recording, .and .use .headphones .when .overdubbing.
