Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 4G (4th Generation) 18-in, 16-out USB Audi...
Introducing Focusrite Scarlett 18i16, the industry-leading USB audio interface for producers, with converters taken from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet range. 18i16 features 18 inputs and 16 outputs, including four microphone preamps, Hi-Z and line inputs, ADAT, SPDIF, and MIDI connectivity. The 4th generation preamps offer an impressive 69dB of gain, allowing you to capture dynamic performances with clarity, whatever microphones you use. With a total of eight analogue inputs including two Hi-Z instrument ins, 18i16 provides ample connectivity for all your outboard. Powerful outputs ensure clean, ultra-low distortion playback; plus, two brand new custom-designed headphone amps to drive high-impedance headphones.
Studio-Grade Audio Quality
Completely redesigned audio circuitry now includes the same professional-grade 24-bit, 192kHzconverters as Focusrite’s flagship RedNet range - the choice of multi-million dollar recording studios and broadcast facilities, and boasts an impressive 122dB of dynamic range to capture everything from a whisper to a jet engine.
Air: That Big Console Sound
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.
Auto Gain: Work faster
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. For more complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on the interface or through the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop applications.
Clip Safe - Never Lose a Take
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 artefacts from hard limiting. Never miss a crucial take, especially in high-pressure recording environments like live shows andlocation recordings.
Easy control with desktop and mobile app
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 monitor mixes and multiple mic pre gains remotely — especially useful in live rooms.
