What makes the Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 4th Gen special?

The great strength of this interface is its balance between professional conversion quality and expandable connectivity in a compact format. It is an interface designed to grow with you and adapt to complex hybrid setups.

The new Scarlett preamps offer more headroom, lower noise, and an enhanced Air mode that adds brightness and presence in the style of the brand's classic consoles. The Auto Gain and Clip Safe features simplify recording, preventing accidental clipping without sacrificing dynamics, something especially useful for vocalists and musicians who record alone.

In addition, its multiple outputs allow you to perform independent mixing, reamping, or integration with external processors without limitations.
