Compact USB-C audio interface for songwriting, recording and straightforward productions, with clear operation and a convincing sonic foundation. This model combines a microphone preamp designed with detailed work in mind with a dedicated Hi-Z instrument input, strong outputs and a modern converter section with up to 24 Bit / 192 kHz. Air Presence and Harmonic Drive are also included for more character in the signal, along with Loopback for internal stereo recordings and a software package that lets you get started right away. Clear recording path The single microphone preamp is designed to capture voices and acoustic sources cleanly, directly and with great detail. With up to 57 dB gain, you have enough headroom for many typical studio and home-recording applications. The switchable phantom power also makes the interface suitable for condenser microphones.In everyday use, the dynamic gain halos are practical. They help you set levels quickly without having to puzzle over it for long or constantly look at the DAW. This saves time and ensures a smoother recording process. Guitar signal with feel The dedicated instrument input is not just there—it’s clearly tailored to guitars and similar sources. Especially when you play directly into amp simulations, the signal feels open, controlled and natural, with a Hi-Z input that feels more organic than many basic interface inputs.Electro-acoustic instruments also benefit from this. The sound stays full, tangible and finely resolved enough to ensure that dynamics and picking attack aren’t lost. More character at the touch of a button With the two Air modes, you can shape recordings with intent without immediately having to dive deep into plugins. The presence mode opens up the upper range and pushes vocals or acoustic guitars further forward. Harmonic Drive places more emphasis on harmonics in the midrange and gives the signal more presence. Presence for more openness and air Harmonic Drive for more density and character Useful for vocals, guitar and many direct signals Strong sound when monitoring In addition to recording, playback also convinces. The headphone output is designed to be powerful and delivers a loud, clear sound even with high-impedance models. For day-to-day work, the separate controls for headphones and monitors are particularly helpful, because you can better adapt recording, playback and mixing to your situation.The converters are conceptually drawn from the manufacturer’s RedNet world and deliver a wide dynamic range. This shows up especially in clean reproduction, improved depth staging and overall confident signal processing. Software, Loopback and quick start The interface includes Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, Cubase LE and the Hitmaker Expansion Bundle. This gives you an immediately practical foundation for recording, editing and your first productions. Loopback is especially useful when you want to capture stereo audio internally in your DAW from music apps, streams or software signals.Via Focusrite Control 2, you manage the device conveniently on Windows and macOS. In addition, Easy Start provides a guided setup that makes the first use significantly easier. Does the Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen4 fit you? This interface is just right for you if you want to record vocals and guitar without complicated routing, while also valuing good conversion quality, easy operation and sensible sound options. It fits particularly well for singer-songwriters, people getting started with home recording, content creators and mobile setups looking for a compact device with focused equipment.

Compact audio interface for productions with high expectations: Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 Gen4 combines high-quality recording sound with flexible connections for microphones, instruments, synthesizers, external devices and MIDI setups. You get two especially quiet, remotely controllable preamps, six line inputs, four line outputs, two independent headphone outputs, as well as digital expansion options via ADAT and S/PDIF. It also includes well thought-out features such as Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Alt-Monitor switching and the revised Air modes. This makes the interface the central hub for your studio—without taking up unnecessary space. Clarity that starts right at the recording At the center are two extremely low-noise preamps that can handle even demanding microphones cleanly with up to 69 dB of gain. The preamps work with detail, openness and control—so vocals, speech, acoustic guitars or finely tuned instruments are captured precisely. Independent phantom power makes the setup even more flexible when you combine different microphone types.Especially in compact production environments, it’s not only the number of inputs that matters, but how reliably they work in everyday use. This Scarlett gives you a solid foundation you can rely on for songwriting, recording and overdubs. More control for clean takes With Auto Gain and Clip Safe, the interface takes a part of the level work off your hands without taking away control. Auto Gain helps you set levels quickly, while Clip Safe responds in the background if clipping threatens. This is especially useful for vocals, spontaneous performances or dynamic instruments where the level doesn’t stay constant.That lets you work more relaxedly and spend less time on retakes. Instead of correcting technical problems, you can focus more on performance, arrangement and the recording flow. Connections that grow with your setup The Focusrite solution is built for hybrid production environments. In addition to the two mic/line/instrument inputs, you get six line inputs for synthesizers, grooveboxes, keyboards or other external sound sources. Four line outputs integrate outboard equipment or additional monitor paths cleanly. Via MIDI, you control external hardware directly from your setup.If your studio gets bigger later on, you don’t have to replace the entire system right away. With ADAT and S/PDIF, the number of channels can be expanded in a sensible way. That way, the desktop interface stays interesting even when a compact workstation gradually turns into a more extensive production system. Air modes with character The two revised Air modes give you more sound shaping right at the source. The Presence mode adds more openness and presence in the upper frequencies. Presence plus Harmonic Drive also focuses on harmonious compression in the midrange and gives signals more contour and drive.This works particularly well for vocals, guitars and acoustic instruments, but it can also add more character to electronic sounds. Instead of shaping the sound heavily only later, you dial in the character more deliberately already during recording. A strong monitoring routine In everyday use, the interface impresses not only when recording, but also when listening back. Two specially developed headphone amplifiers deliver a clear, powerful sound and reliably power even high-impedance headphones. For producers with multiple monitoring paths, the Alt-Monitor switching is also interesting, because you can quickly compare your mix between two pairs of speakers.With Focusrite Control 2 you control separate mixes for headphones, monitors and line outputs. This makes the device particularly useful when you’re recording in the same room, want to provide artists with individual cue mixes, or want to integrate external equipment cleanly into your routing structure. Does the Scarlett 16i16 Gen4 fit you? This model is right for you if you’re looking for a compact but versatile audio interface that goes beyond a typical beginner setup. It’s suitable for singer-songwriters, producers, beatmakers and small project studios that want to integrate multiple external sound sources and place value on good preamps, flexible input and output options, as well as modern workflow helpers. Ideal for recording, production and a hybrid hardware setup Well suited for ambitious beginners and more advanced users Useful if you work with microphones, synths, MIDI and outboard at the same time Practical if you want to combine mobile size with an expandable studio setup Even if you already work with a DAW and want to expand your setup with better converters, more flexible routing and a wider range of connections, this Focusrite interface is a coherent solution.

With the Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 Gen4, you get a USB-C audio interface that performs just as convincingly in the studio as it does in mobile setups. Four remotely controllable microphone preamps, two Hi-Z inputs, additional line inputs, as well as MIDI, S/PDIF and ADAT make it the central hub for vocals, instruments, synths and external equipment. It also features modern recording helpers such as Auto Gain and Clip Safe, two revised Air modes for targeted tone shaping, and flexible monitor control with independent outputs. This keeps your setup clear, adaptable and at a very high sonic level. Many ways, cleanly connected This interface is designed for setups where you need more than just one microphone and one headphone. You work with four microphone/line preamps, two instrument inputs on the front, and additional line inputs for synths, drum machines, keyboards or outboard. The unit is particularly interesting when you want to record, route and keep multiple signal sources connected at the same time.Even digitally, your setup stays open. Via ADAT and S/PDIF, you can easily expand the number of channels or integrate additional digital equipment. MIDI In and Out ensure that controllers, sound generators and external hardware are built directly into your production system. Control your levels With spontaneous takes, it’s not only the sound that matters, but also a secure level. With Auto Gain, the device quickly sets the input level appropriately, while Clip Safe adjusts in the background when the signal gets too hot. This is useful for vocals, speech, dynamic instruments and any recording where levels change quickly.That means you spend less time on corrections before the take and can focus more strongly on performance and timing. Especially in smaller production rooms or when working with different musicians, this saves a noticeable amount of time in everyday use. Sound with character The four preamps work with very low noise and, with up to 69 dB of gain, offer plenty of room for different microphone types. This is complemented by the two Air modes, which add more presence to the signal and, when needed, provide additional harmonic character. This is especially useful for vocals, acoustic instruments and guitars when you want to shape the sound already during recording.There’s also a high dynamic range of up to 122 dB at the line outputs. As a result, monitoring feels open and precise, making a clear difference when playing in, mixing and evaluating details. The converters come from Focusrite’s RedNet world and are designed for clean, transparent signal paths. Control that thinks along with your studio Two headphone outputs and multiple independent routing options give you plenty of freedom for monitoring. You can create your own mixes for monitors, headphones or external equipment and tailor your setup precisely to the session. This is helpful when artists need a different headphone mix than you do at your workstation.With the Alt Monitor switching, you can quickly switch between two speaker pairs. Everything is controlled via Focusrite Control 2, and if you want, also via a mobile app in conjunction with your computer. This allows routing to be adapted flexibly without you having to work directly on the interface all the time. Does the Scarlett 18i16 Gen4 suit you? This solution is just right for you if you’re looking for more than a compact entry-level interface, but you don’t want to build a large rack system. The model fits well with producers, songwriters, project studios and content creators who work with multiple sources at the same time and place value on flexible input and output options. well suited for vocals, guitars, synths and hybrid hardware setups suitable for home and project studios with growing channel needs ideal for Windows and macOS users, including Apple Silicon interesting for anyone who wants to combine routing, monitoring and expandability in one device Even if you’re already planning with external hardware, MIDI devices or additional ADAT channels, this Focusrite interface provides you with a solid and long-term usable foundation.

Designed as a switching hub for demanding recording setups, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Gen4 combines multiple inputs, flexible outputs and very high sound quality in a 19-inch format. Eight remote-controllable microphone preamps, two front-facing Hi-Z inputs, ADAT, S/PDIF, MIDI and Word Clock make the interface the ideal solution for band recordings, drum setups, outboard routing and hybrid studios. Practical features such as Auto Gain and Clip Safe, two revised Air modes, an integrated talkback microphone and independent headphone outputs round it off, ensuring a smooth day-to-day recording routine. Many channels, clearly organised This rack interface is made for productions where you don’t want to keep swapping connections. With 26 inputs and 26 outputs, you can permanently integrate microphones, synths, external preamps, effects units and monitors into your setup. In addition, the ten line outputs give you enough flexibility for multiple monitor paths, outboard loops or alternative speaker pairs.Especially for more complex sessions, the variety of connections pays off. Alongside eight mic/line inputs, you also get two front-facing inputs for instruments. With ADAT, the system can be expanded by additional channels, while S/PDIF, MIDI and Word Clock neatly complete the integration of digital and external hardware. Preamps with calm and headroom At the core are eight ultra-low-noise preamps with up to 69 dB gain. As a result, the unit performs confidently even with quiet signal sources and dynamic microphones. The sound stays transparent, detailed and direct, which is particularly useful for vocals, acoustic instruments and extensive multi-track recordings.The two revised Air modes give you an additional targeted sonic option. The presence mode opens up the treble range and brings voices or acoustic instruments further to the front. Presence with Harmonic Drive adds more character and overtones when tracks need a bit more contour and presence. Record safely instead of regretting it later In day-to-day production, it’s not only about sound, but also about control. That’s exactly where Auto Gain and Clip Safe step in. The gain levels of the microphone preamps can be set up quickly, and if clipping threatens, the system automatically corrects the amplification. This is especially helpful for spontaneous takes, dynamic vocalists or changing volumes in rehearsal rooms and studios.In addition, there’s an integrated talkback microphone and two independent headphone outputs. This lets you address musicians directly while also providing different monitor mixes. For efficient sessions, that’s a real advantage, because communication, routing and monitoring remain clearer without additional hardware. Routing, monitoring and studio flow With Focusrite Control 2, you manage routing and mixing tasks flexibly on your computer and via a mobile app. This makes things easier when the interface is installed in a rack or when you’re not directly at your workstation during recording. The Alt-Speaker-Switching feature also helps you compare mixes quickly between two speaker pairs.Sound-wise, the system is designed for clean monitoring. The dynamic range of the balanced line outputs is 122 dB, supporting precise playback. Together with the powerful headphone amplifiers, the 1U model is suitable not only for recording, but also for editing, mixing and integrating external hardware in a structured way. Software that works alongside you On the software side, the included bundle comprises Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+ and Cubase LE, as well as the Hitmaker Expansion Bundle. This means you don’t start from scratch—you can record, edit and expand productions straight away. Particularly when you’re setting up a new studio or upgrading from a smaller interface, this is a useful part of the overall package. Does the Scarlett 18i20 Gen4 fit you? This Focusrite interface is right for you if you want to record multiple sources at the same time, integrate external equipment cleanly and manage your studio centrally. It’s suitable for ambitious home studios as well as professional production environments where many I/Os, stable routing and good preamps matter more than unnecessary extras. ideal for drum recordings, bands and live session recording suitable for producers using synths, grooveboxes and outboard useful for audio engineers who need ADAT expansion and monitor switching also a strong fit for hybrid setups with a DAW, external converters and MIDI hardware It’s less suitable for very small setups with only one or two input sources. However, once your studio is meant to grow and you’re looking for a permanent centre for more channels, more flexible outputs and a rack-friendly hub, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 makes the most of its strengths in a very consistent way. Features Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Gen4 Rack-mountable USB-C audio interface with 26 inputs and 26 outputs as a central solution for complex studio setups Eight ultra-low-noise mic/line preamps with remotely controllable gain adjustment Two front-facing Mic/Line/Instrument inputs for direct connection of guitar, bass or further sources Two revised Air modes with presence, as well as Presence with Harmonic Drive for targeted tonal shaping Auto Gain and Clip Safe for quick level optimisation and protection against overloading Ten line outputs, including switching for alternative speaker pairs Up to 16 additional channels via ADAT, plus digital integration via S/PDIF MIDI In/Out and Word Clock for integrating external hardware and digital setups Two independent headphone outputs with powerful amplifiers Integrated talkback microphone for direct communication with artists in the recording room Loopback function for streaming, content creation and internal signal routing Includes Focusrite Control 2, Hitmaker Expansion, as well as Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+ and Cubase LE Technical specifications Type USB-C audio interface for desktop or rack operation Mic preamps 8 Phantom power Yes, independently switchable Instrument inputs 2 Line inputs 8 Line outputs 10 Headphone outputs 2 ADAT 2 inputs | 2 outputs | 16 channels at 44.1/48 kHz | up to 8 channels at 96 kHz S/PDIF 1 input | 1 output MIDI 1 input | 1 output Word Clock Yes Talkback Yes Loopback Yes Air Mode Yes Auto Gain Yes Clip Safe Yes Connectivity USB Type-C Protocol USB 2.0 Form factor Desktop | Rack-mountable 1U Simultaneous I/O 26 x 26 A/D resolution 24 bit / 192 kHz Supported sample rates 44.1 kHz | 48 kHz | 88.2 kHz | 96 kHz | 176.4 kHz | 192 kHz Microphone input frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 0.06 dB Microphone input dynamic range 116 dB A-weighted Microphone input THD+N -100 dB at 8 dB gain Microphone input EIN -127 dBu A-weighted Microphone input maximum input level 16 dBu Microphone input gain range 69 dB Microphone input impedance 3 kΩ Line input frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 0.05 dB Line input dynamic range 115.5 dB A-weighted Line input THD+N -100 dB at 8 dB gain Line input maximum input level 22 dBu Line input gain range 69 dB Line input impedance 24 kΩ Instrument input frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 0.05 dB Instrument input dynamic range 113 dB A-weighted Instrument input THD+N -80 dB at 8 dB gain Instrument input maximum input level 12 dBu Instrument input gain range 62 dB Instrument input impedance 1 MΩ Balanced line output frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 0.02 dB Balanced line output dynamic range 122 dB A-weighted Balanced line output THD+N -112 dB Balanced line output maximum output level 16 dBu Balanced line output impedance 200 Ω Headphone output frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz ± 0.1 dB at 33 Ω | 300 Ω Headphone output dynamic range 112 dB at 33 Ω | 116 dB at 300 Ω Headphone output THD+N -100 dB at 33 Ω minimum | -110 dB at 300 Ω minimum Headphone output maximum output level 5 dBu at 33 Ω | 11 dBu at 300 Ω Headphone output maximum power 57 mW at 33 Ω | 27 mW at 300 Ω Headphone output impedance 11 Ω Analogue-to-digital converter THD+N -110 dB Analogue-to-digital converter dynamic range 120 dB Digital-to-analogue converter THD+N -115 dB Digital-to-analogue converter dynamic range 130 dB A-weighted Power supply External | 30 W Windows compatibility Intel | AMD | Arm64 macOS compatibility Apple Silicon | Intel Weight 3.304 kg Dimensions (W x D x H) 442 x 259.73 x 46.55 mm Included in delivery Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Gen4 audio interface 1.5 m USB-C to USB-C cable USB-C to USB-A adapter IEC power cable Rack ears
Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 Gen4 is a compact USB-C audio interface for recording, production, streaming and podcasting. Two microphone preamps from the fourth generation, additional line inputs, MIDI as well as separate mixes for headphones and line outputs make the desktop unit a thoughtfully designed hub for small studios and mobile setups. It also includes modern features such as Auto Gain, Clip Safe and Loopback, which make your day-to-day work noticeably easier. Clear sound, clean signal path At the centre are two 4th-Gen microphone preamps with up to 69 dB of gain. This lets you record speech, vocals and acoustic instruments in detail, with low noise. The new converters deliver up to 24-bit / 192 kHz and a high dynamic range, so fine transients, level jumps and nuances are preserved cleanly.For a small recording setup, this is especially practical: you get not only two combo inputs for Mic, Line or instrument, but also two additional line inputs. This way, you can connect synthesizers, drum machines, keys or external preamps just as easily, alongside microphones. More character at the push of a button With the two Air modes, you can give your recordings more presence and openness whenever you need it. This is particularly useful for vocals, acoustic guitars and speech recordings, when a signal can benefit from a little more sparkle and presence. At the same time, the recordings remain controlled and immediate.Guitars and bass also benefit from the equipment. The front-facing Hi-Z inputs are designed for instruments and deliver a cohesive playing feel when you plug in directly to your DAW. That lets you capture ideas quickly without having to switch in additional equipment in between. Keep levels under control A real advantage in everyday use is Auto Gain and Clip Safe. Auto Gain sets the input level appropriately at the push of a button, while Clip Safe automatically adjusts when overloading threatens. Especially for spontaneous takes, podcasts or varying speech intervals, this saves you time and helps prevent unnecessary repeat recordings.The Dynamic Gain Halos around the controls provide you with direct visual feedback. There’s also a powerful headphone output with its own volume control, which offers enough headroom even for demanding headphones. For monitoring, recording and fast working, this is a noticeable comfort boost. More than just an interface The Focusrite unit isn’t only interesting for classic music production. With Loopback, you route audio from other applications directly into your software. This is useful for livestreams, online content, tutorials or podcast setups with multiple audio sources. MIDI In and Out also make it easier to integrate external controllers, synthesizers and grooveboxes.Right after unpacking, you can get started: the software included includes, among other things, Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, Cubase LE and the Hitmaker Expansion. The Easy Start Assistant supports you with setup and is especially helpful when you’re building your first recording setup. Does the Scarlett 4i4 Gen4 suit you? This interface is the right choice if you’re looking for a compact desktop setup that does more than a simple 2-channel model.

Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen is a compact USB-A audio interface for recording with two inputs and two outputs, giving you a very direct path to clean, detailed sound. Two microphone preamps, separate line and instrument inputs on the front, 24 Bit / 192 kHz and a dynamic range of up to 120 dB make this model a strong hub for vocals, speech, guitar, synthesizers and much more. In addition, Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Air modes and an extensive software package are included, so you can start recording without getting sidetracked. Clear sound, clean level At the centre are two extremely low-noise microphone preamps, which, according to the manufacturer, are among the most detailed in the Scarlett range. With up to 69 dB of gain, you can bring out a clean, present signal even from more demanding microphones. This is particularly beneficial for vocals, speech recordings or acoustic instruments, as it results in more fine detail and a calmer overall image.Practical in everyday life: Auto Gain takes over level setting for you, while Clip Safe monitors the signal and automatically adjusts the gain as soon as clipping threatens. This saves time, reduces failed attempts and is especially helpful when you’re recording on your own or capturing spontaneous takes. Direct access for instruments The two front-facing inputs are designed for flexible working. You can connect microphones, but you can also work directly with guitar, bass or synthesizers. The Hi-Z instrument inputs respond like a classic amplifier input and are very well suited for DI recordings or for working alongside amp simulations.Keyboards, drum machines and other line sources can also be connected without hassle. This keeps your setup tidy, and you don’t need to start swapping extra adapters or preamps when you switch between speech, vocals and instruments. More character on demand With the revised Air modes, you can shape your signal purposefully without spending ages searching through plug-ins. The Presence mode boosts the upper frequencies and pushes vocals or acoustic instruments further forward. The Harmonic-Drive mode adds harmonic content in the midrange and delivers more density and contour.This is particularly useful if you want to bring more development to your recordings right from the playing stage. The sound remains controllable, but gains more presence and expression before you even start mixing. A solid foundation for your setup Besides its audio quality, the interface also impresses with a well thought-out working environment. The specially developed headphone amplifier delivers a clear and loud playback even with high-impedance headphones. With Focusrite Control 2, you can manage the device conveniently on Windows and macOS, and if you want, you can even control it remotely from the recording room via a mobile device.On the software side, the package includes, among others, Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, Cubase LE and the Hitmaker Expansion Bundle. That means you have a solid set for recording, production and first mixes ready to go as soon as you connect. Who is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen4 for? This model is exactly right for you if you’re looking for a clear recording setup, but you don’t want to compromise on sound, operation or headroom. It fits very well with singer-songwriters, podcasters, beat producers, guitarists and small home studios that need a reliable 2-in/2-out interface with modern convenience features. suitable for beginners who want to get good results quickly great for more advanced users who want to work specifically with Air, Auto Gain and Clip Safe useful for vocals, speech, guitar, bass, synthesizers and compact desktop setups practical if you want to get started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+ or Cubase LE If you frequently record on your own, use different sources and place value on a clean workflow, you’ll get an interface here that makes everyday work noticeably easier and provides a solid sound foundation for serious productions.
