AMAZING SOUND WITH 69dB GAIN
The fourth-generation 18i16 is Focusrite Scarlett’s best-sounding audio interface yet. Its microphone preamps provide 69dB of usable gain and a crisp, detailed sound that rivals songs produced with higher-end equipment, while Focusrite’s famed Air Mode adds high-end presence and harmonic-rich drive evocative of a top-of-the-line studio console.
Its hi-Z inputs were designed specifically for electric guitarists, providing an amp-like feel that is sure to excite. The 18i16 is outfitted with studio-grade AD/DA converters sourced from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces, providing you with crystal-clear sound and an incredible 122dB of dynamic range.
STATE OF THE ART FEATURES
The Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 is equipped with session-enhancing features. Auto Gain optimizes your recording settings with a single button press, whereas Clip Safe automatically changes your gain level if you’re about to clip. The 18i16 features front-panel Dynamic Gain Halos for easy monitoring of your input and output signal levels.
Using headphones with this audio interface is a pleasure because of its strong, custom-designed headphone amplifier, which incorporates an independent volume control for loud, clear, and accurate monitoring and playback. The 18i16’s Easy Start function walks new users through the setup process while providing recording tips and other useful information. You also get loopback capabilities, which allows you to send stereo audio from music apps directly to your DAW using virtual inputs.
