Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3G USB Audio Interface

For the hardware music maker.

Sitting on the desks of more producers than any other, the Scarlett range of audio interfaces means studio quality sound for more music making machines than any other. 8i6, with its dual mic-pres, fixed-line I/O and MIDI, gives you just the right connectivity to easily bring your hardware music making setup into the computer world.

Six balanced line inputs, for connecting synths or other line-level audio, and four balanced outputs, for monitoring and effects sends
Two of the best performing Scarlett mic preamps the range has ever heard – now with Air – for recording vocals
Two high headroom instrument inputs, for plugging your guitar or bass straight in
Loopback, for grabbing a stereo feed of any combination of hardware inputs and software playback, no cables needed, for simple sampling, streaming or podcasting

Focusrite always quotes 'real world' performance figures (measured to the AES17 standard). Some companies choose to quote chipset performance, which is misleading.
