The build quality on the Solo is very nice. A re aluminum housing with a dark grey faceplate for the dial snd inputs. The volume knob doesn't offer much resistance, but it is smooth across the range of volumes.
The Scarlett Solo's are USB powered with makes them a good solution for portable use as well as a cleaner desktop setup.
The XLR input produces consistent phantom power and great sound quality. I mainly us it for recording my podcasts, but it would be a great solution for home studio music production as well. I have not used the instrument line in, but I have no reason to expect it would not work extremely well based on the rest of my experience with tis unit.
The Direct Monitor functions work perfectly as well. This is where you can have your recording from the mic set to play live through the monitors you are wearing during recording. I can hear no perceptible lag or delay from what I am speaking to what I hear in my headphones.
The Scarlet Solo is definitely a no-friills, simple solution without a lot of bells and whistles. What is lack in features, it makes up for in ease of setup and use, and great sound quality.
One other benefit of using this as your PC's sound interface, is the ability to hook up studio monitors or other speakers that require an RCA connection. You can plug the right/left RCA connectors directly to the back of the Scarlet Solo without the need for an audio adapter.
Over a year in, I still love my Solo and would gladly replace it with another Focusrite unit should the need ever arise!

Rien a dire vraiment top.
Excellent pour les débutants et pour un budget qui n'est pas trop élevé
This is a really neat package. The software is a bit hard to understand. And the installation process is even harder to understand (how to activate the licenses etc.). But over all i am satisfied after 2-3h of installation and frustration i understood and now i love the scarlet solo. There are far better ones out there and would I recommend you to buy a 2i2 or a 2i4 or something with a lot more input jacks, because 2 inputs no midi input jack is not enough for a so claimed home studio. Other than that the scarlet solo is easy to handle, very small, red (yes it's red) and fast to understand. Cubase Le AI might be hard to handle but for simple recording and a little bit of editing it's satisfying enough. But if you want to go further then buying the full version or another DAW is recommended.
Hope you've a good time with it, because i surely am. And i love this little guys Power.
