16i16 is the compact, portable studio hub for artists and producers. Whether you're on the go, hopping from sessions, or recording at home, you'll always have access to two of our finest preamps, plus instrument, line, and MIDI connections for whatever the project throws your way: guitars, keys, synths, grooveboxes, and controllers. And if you're looking to expand your channel count, it's easily done with S/PDIF and ADAT.

Two of our most detailed, ultra-low-noise preamps.

Plug into 16i16’s 4th-Generation remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s most transparent and detailed ever. 69dB of gain range provides all of the headroom you'll need to get the best result from the most dynamic performances. Control preamp levels from anywhere in the studio using the Focusrite Control 2 apps, giving you the freedom to adjust settings remotely.

Auto Gain and Clip Safe.

Let 16i16 handle your levels. Auto Gain sets your levels and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You'll never lose a take again.

Mix your way, with independent outputs.

With 16i16, headphones, monitors, and line outs each get their own mix, so you can create the perfect studio setup for your speakers, the artist's headphones, or outboard gear — controllable anywhere in the studio via the Focusrite Control 2 apps.

Get big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes.

Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.
Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.

Powerful sound, powerful control.

Two custom-designed headphone amps deliver clear, powerful sound for high-impedance headphones, offering the best playback ever from a Scarlett.
A built-in talkback mic ensures seamless communication to the artists, while alt monitor switching lets you A/B your mixes between two speaker pairs.

All the software you need to make a hit record.

Get started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, and Cubase LE. From there, the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to add big-studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of instruments and effects from the biggest names in the business.
