Focusrite PLC is a prestigious English professional audio equipment company established in 1985 when legendary recording console designer Rupert Neve founded the original company to fulfill a request from Sir George Martin, the Beatles' producer, who needed a no-compromise microphone preamp and EQ for Air Studios Montserrat. The company created the revolutionary ISA 110 module, which became the foundation for the famous Forte console and later the Studio console. In 1989, Phil Dudderidge OBE, a distinguished audio industry veteran who previously worked as Led Zeppelin's touring soundman and co-founded Soundcraft Electronics, acquired Focusrite's assets after Neve's company faced financial difficulties and transformed it into the global leader in audio interfaces it is today. Based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England, Focusrite has grown from its high-end console origins to become the world's premier manufacturer of audio interfaces, employing over 200 people worldwide and operating under eight brands including Focusrite, Focusrite Pro, Martin Audio, ADAM Audio, Novation, Ampify Music, Optimal Audio, and Sequential. The company's mission focuses on removing barriers to creativity and enriching lives through music, serving millions of music makers worldwide with products like the popular Vocaster, Scarlett, and Clarett interface series. Under current CEO Tim Carroll (appointed 2017) and CFO Sally McKone (joined 2021), Focusrite PLC continues its legacy of innovation with the latest 4th Generation Scarlett interfaces featuring incredible preamps, colossal dynamic range, and re-engineered Air mode, maintaining distribution across approximately 160 territories and earning recognition including four Queen's Awards for Enterprise.
