Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Gen USB-C Audio Interface Bundle with CM25 MkIII Condenser Microphone, SH-450 Headphones, XLR Cable, On-Stage DS7100B Desktop Microphone Stand, and Gator Rok-It Microphone Pop Filter

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio Desk Stand Bundle: A Sand-Cast Tabletop Microphone Rig for the Interview Podcaster

This bundle is built around the Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 4th Generation paired with the On-Stage DS7100B desktop microphone stand and the Gator Rok-It RI-POPFILTER. The Studio box includes the 4th-generation Scarlett Solo USB-C audio interface, the CM25 MkIII large-diaphragm condenser microphone, SH-450 closed-back headphones, a 3-meter balanced XLR cable, and the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle. This bundle replaces the cardboard mic stand in the Studio box with a real sand-cast desktop stand and adds a professional-grade pop filter — a tabletop broadcast setup ready for the podcast desk, the interview booth, or the voice-over rig.

The 4th-Generation Solo Preamp Is Why the Solo Earned Its Reputation

The 4th-generation Solo preamp delivers -127 dBu equivalent input noise — quiet enough to capture a low-output dynamic at maximum gain without preamp hiss, with headroom enough to handle the included CM25 MkIII condenser without distortion. RedNet-derived 24-bit/192 kHz AD/DA converters deliver 120 dB of dynamic range — the same conversion architecture used in commercial recording studios that bill by the hour.

Auto Gain, Clip Safe, and Air Mode Are the Reason This Is the 4th-Gen Buy

Auto Gain ends the level-setting guesswork that ruins more first recordings than any other single mistake. Press the button, play or speak for ten seconds, Scarlett calibrates the gain automatically. Clip Safe takes over once recording starts — 96,000 level checks per second, and at the first sign of impending clipping the gain pulls automatically with no audible artifact. Air Mode brings two ISA-derived console sounds to the desktop: Presence boosts top-end air for vocal and acoustic clarity, Harmonic Drive adds console-style mid-range punch.

The On-Stage DS7100B Is the Stand the Broadcast Industry Reaches For

The On-Stage DS7100B is the basic fixed-height desktop microphone stand that became the standard for podcast and broadcast professionals. A 4-inch shaft, a 6-inch sand-cast base, five rubber feet on the underside, and standard 5/8-27 threading — nothing more than is needed, and nothing less than will do the job. The 2 lb base anchors the CM25 MkIII against desk vibration and cable pull, the five rubber feet grip cleanly on wood, metal, glass, and laminate surfaces, and the removable shaft accepts any standard mic clip or shock mount the buyer adds later. The DS7100B is the answer to the cardboard mic stand in the Focusrite Studio box.

The Gator Rok-It RI-POPFILTER Saves Every Vocal Take

Plosives are the explosive bursts of air created by P, B, and T sounds that hit the microphone capsule directly and produce low-frequency thumps no compressor can fully fix. The Gator Rok-It RI-POPFILTER puts a 6-inch single-layer nylon screen between the mouth and the CM25 MkIII capsule, diffusing the air burst before it reaches the diaphragm. The 11.5-inch powder-coated steel gooseneck bends precisely into position and holds it. The C-clamp with padded jaws attaches to the DS7100B shaft cleanly without scratching the powder-coated finish.

The CM25 MkIII Mic, SH-450 Headphones, and Hitmaker Expansion Bundle

The included CM25 MkIII is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone tuned for the bright, detailed character that flatters vocals and acoustic guitars — and works equally well as the mic in an interview podcast setup. The SH-450 closed-back headphones use a custom-designed driver with plush pads for fatigue-free monitoring across long sessions. The Hitmaker Expansion software bundle is what justifies the Studio bundle: Antares Auto-Tune Access for pitch work, XLN Addictive Drums 2 and Addictive Keys, Native Instruments MASSIVE, Softube's Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 amp sim, the Focusrite Red 2 and 3 plug-in suites, Brainworx Bx_console Focusrite SC, FAST Balancer, and Landr Studio.

How the Tabletop Bundle Works as a Complete System

The signal chain is intentional: the CM25 MkIII sits on the DS7100B sand-cast desktop stand at speaking height, the Gator pop filter clamps to the stand shaft between the mouth and the capsule, the 3-meter balanced XLR cable runs from the mic to the Solo's single front-panel input, the Solo's 4th-generation preamp captures the signal with Air Mode engaged for top-end presence, the RedNet-derived converter takes the signal into the DAW at 24-bit/192 kHz, and the SH-450 headphones monitor latency-free off the custom-designed headphone amp. No boom arm overhead, no clamp on the desk edge, no cable routing through an arm — just a microphone on a stand, on the desk, where the buyer needs it.

Who This Tabletop Bundle Is For — Interview Podcaster, Voice-Over Artist, Broadcaster

For the interview podcaster who sits across the table from a guest with the mic pointed up between them. For the solo broadcaster who needs the mic anchored on the desk with no overhead arm in camera frame. For the voice-over artist working from a desk where the mic position has to stay consistent take to take. For the boardroom and conference setup where the mic lives on the table. For the buyer who prefers a sit-down stand-mounted microphone over the desk-clamped boom arm workflow. The DS7100B holds the mic, the Solo preamps it, and the recording desk stays clean.
