FOCUSRITE Soundcard Forte

Focusrite Forte USB Audio Interface – 2-In/4-Out | 24-Bit/192kHz | Premium RedNet Preamps

The Focusrite Forte is a premium compact USB audio interface built for musicians and audio engineers who demand studio-grade sound quality in a sleek, portable desktop form. Featuring 2 inputs and 4 outputs at up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution, the Forte delivers exceptional clarity with a dynamic range of 117dB (A/D) and 118dB (D/A) — rivaling full-scale studio converters.

At its core are two remote-controlled, RedNet-grade microphone preamps with up to 75dB of ultra-clean gain — more than enough to drive even the most gain-hungry dynamic microphones without an external booster. A multi-pin breakout cable keeps the unit sleek while providing dual XLR mic inputs and dual balanced ¼-inch TRS line/instrument inputs. Four outputs include two balanced ¼-inch TRS monitor outputs and a dedicated stereo headphone jack for precise monitoring.
Control is intuitive via touch-sensitive icon pads and a crisp color OLED display, with a large aluminum wheel for smooth level adjustment. The solid aluminum chassis adds durability without adding bulk. The Forte runs on USB bus power for total portability — plug in the included 5V adapter to unlock 48V phantom power for condenser microphones and achieve peak output performance.
