Focusrite iTrack Solo | iOS Audio Interface 2x2 with Lightning Connector, 1 x Mic Input, 1 x hi-Z Input, Direct Monitoring

iTrack Solo is the best way to record instruments and vocals on your iPad. Featuring a legendary Focusrite mic preamp and a dedicated input for electric and bass guitars, it's the easiest way to record great quality music using Garageband or any of your favourite apps.

A certified "Made for iPad" device, we have one version of iTrack Solo for Lightning™ compatible iPads and another for earlier generation devices. Both are fully compatible with your PC or Mac as well, and come with all the software you need to get started, including Ableton Live Lite and the Focusrite Scarlett Plug-in Suite.

Get started

Just connect your iTrack Solo to a power supply and an iPad and you’re ready to go! With the very best in digital audio technology encased by a rugged aluminium unibody chassis, iTrack Solo will capture and playback your sound with pristine quality. 

Plug straight in

The front panel has an input for a microphone and an input for an instrument (such as an electric guitar, bass guitar or the output of an electro-acoustic guitar). This makes the iTrack Solo perfect for capturing the output of a microphone, or using an electric guitar with one of the many guitar amp applications on iPad.

Keep an eye on your audio

Unique signal halos let you know that you’ve got a good audio level for recording. Green is good and red means that your audio is too loud, and that you should turn down the level control.

25 years of experience

Since 1985, Focusrite has been a leading manufacturer in the professional audio field. Focusrite mic pres are the choice of leading artists, recording studios and engineers around the world. Now get the quality of Focusrite on your iPad or computer.

Don’t be limited by your dock

Use the iTrack Solo’s premium quality audio outputs to take your sound to Hi-Fi, speaker systems or headphones to hear the difference Focusrite can make. At Focusrite, that's all that matters – Sound is Everything.

A supplied cable connects iTrack Solo to the iPad, and it is powered by the included USB cable that delivers the power necessary to run the iTrack’s high-specification components. If you are using iTrack Solo with a Mac or PC you don't need to connect it to the mains, your computer will supply enough power via the USB cable.

The cable supplied in the box with your iTrack Solo is designed to pass Apple's Made for iPad tests to ensure that any official iPad accessory can meet their standards for noise interference resilience, specifically the TDMA noise that can be induced when an iPad receives a telephone call over a 2G network.
