The Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 is ideal for multitrack recording. It has pro-grade converters taken directly from Focusrite’s RedNet range; the four 4th Gen mic preamps have an impressive 69 dB of gain, capable of capturing the most dynamic performances. Auto Gain and Clip Safe modes take care of levels so you can focus on the take. Scarlett 18i16 is also the perfect hub to integrate your DAW and hardware with enough analog and digital I/O to connect multiple external instruments, processors, and effects, and manage complex routing with incredible ease via Focusrite Control 2 software.
Monitor groups are now available across Scarlett 16i16, 18i16, and 18i20 4th Gen, making multi-speaker setups, including 2.1 and 5.1 surround, easier to manage. Unlock these new features by connecting your interface to your computer and updating Focusrite Control 2.
The 4th Generation preamps offer an impressive 69 dB of headroom, so you can capture the most dynamic performances. With a total of six analogue inputs, you have ample connectivity for outboard gear. Powerful outputs ensure clean, ultra-low distortion playback; plus, two brand new custom-designed headphone amps which can drive high-impedance headphones.
Completely redesigned audio circuitry now includes the same professional-grade 24-bit, 192 kHz converters as Focusrite's flagship RedNet range — the choice of multi-million dollar recording studios and broadcast facilities — and boasts an impressive 122 dB of dynamic range to capture everything from a whisper to a jet engine.
Re-engineered Air mode takes your sound’s unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding musical presence or rich harmonic drive to vocals and acoustic instruments; replicating the sound of driving a classic studio console.
Designed to assist engineers of all levels, Auto Gain sets the optimal recording levels for any inputs in just a few seconds, getting you ready to record in moments. It’s especially useful in complex recording sessions with multiple microphones.
As you record, Clip Safe checks your levels up to 96,000 times a second, automatically tweaking the gain to avoid clipping, so you avoid introducing any unwanted artifacts from hard limiting. Never miss a crucial take, especially in high-pressure recording environments like live shows and location recordings.
Use the software, Focusrite Control 2, to manage routing and levels, monitor mixes, and control other features of Scarlett 18i16. The desktop software, plus apps for iOS and Android, enable engineers and performers to adjust mixes and mic pre-gains remotely — especially useful in live rooms.
The 4th Generation Scarlett 18i16 includes a wealth of studio tools for writing, recording, mixing, and mastering. There’s Ableton Live Lite, a three-month subscription to Pro Tools Artist, three months of Splice Sounds, and a comprehensive selection of software instruments, processors, and effects from industry-leading names:
Focusrite's Easy Start web tool will get 18i16 up and running with zero effort, helping you locate the drivers, take you through the installation process, and direct you towards the included software.
