1. Locate the file Focusrite USB drivers; double-click its icon to begin the installation.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
3. When the installation is complete, restart your computer.
4. After restart, connect the Scarlett Solo to your computer.
Your OS should automatically switch the computer’s default audio outputs to be the USB port to
which the Scarlett Solo is connected. To verify this, go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware
and Sound > Sound > Manage Audio Devices and confirm that ‘Default Playback’ and
Recording’ are set to ‘Scarlett Solo USB’.
Powering the Scarlett Solo
The Scarlett Solo is an active device, and needs a DC power source to operate. This will be supplied
by the Mac or PC to which it is connected, via the single USB connection. Note that an external power
supply is not required.
You should experience no problems in powering the Scarlett Solo from the USB ports on any
compatible Mac or PC. However, please be aware that USB ports on some laptops may not be
able to deliver the same current to externally-connected devices when they are running off their
internal batteries, compared to their current capability when running from AC mains. We therefore
recommend strongly that if you are using Scarlett Solo with a laptop, please power the laptop from
the mains with its supplied AC adaptor.
Connecting your Scarlett Solo
IMPORTANT: Before you connect your Scarlett Solo to your
computer, please complete the software installation according to
the instructions above. 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 using 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, or any
Mac-based DAW that uses Core Audio. After installing the USB drivers and connecting the hardware,
you can start using your 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, Ableton Live Lite is included in the
software package available once you’ve registered your Scarlett Solo online. To install Ableton Live
Lite, download and save the Ableton installer file from your registered Focusrite “My Products” page
as described above, and then run it, following all on-screen instructions.
