The Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen USB audio interface offers a comprehensive set of features for project or home studios requiring versatile recording capabilities. With a total of 16 inputs and outputs, including two 4th-generation microphone preamps with 69 dB of gain, it is ideally suited for recording microphones and instruments. The preamps are remotely controllable and enable the precise capture of even dynamic performances.

The integrated Auto-Gain and Clip-Safe functions automatically control levels and protect against clipping, making the recording process more efficient. The revamped Air mode lends recordings a distinctive presence and harmonic drive, emulating the sound of classic studio consoles.

The Scarlett 16i16 offers low latency through direct routing and six internal mixers, as well as precise 24-bit/192 kHz conversion with a dynamic range of 120 dB, based on the technology found in Focusrite’s RedNet products. The Focusrite Control 2 software allows you to efficiently control the Scarlett 16i16’s routing, level settings, monitor mixes and other functions. In addition to the desktop version, the Focusrite Control 2 app is available for iOS and Android, allowing you to adjust monitor mixes and microphone preamp settings on the go, without needing a computer.

Furthermore, the interface features an A/B speaker switch and switchable 48 V phantom power. Two specially designed headphone amplifiers ensure high-quality monitoring, even with high-impedance headphones.

The Scarlett 16i16 offers a wide range of connection options, enabling flexible use in the studio. On the front panel, there are two XLR/jack combo sockets that can accept microphones as well as instruments or line signals. On the rear panel, there are additional 6.35 mm jack sockets, complemented by MIDI inputs and outputs for the seamless integration of MIDI devices. Furthermore, ADAT and S/PDIF connections provide extended digital connectivity options for modern studios.

Once you’ve unpacked and connected the kit, you can start producing music straight away. The package includes a comprehensive software suite for recording, mixing and production. You’ll also receive Ableton Live Lite – a popular DAW for all kinds of music production – free of charge! Recording, mixing and editing tools will help you achieve your musical goals!

But that’s not all: benefit from a three-month Splice membership to gain access to hundreds of sounds.

To give you a taste of another DAW, Focusrite includes the Intro+ version of Avid Pro Tools so you can produce hits with that too; this version doesn’t expire and remains in your arsenal.

The software package is rounded off by the Hitmaker Expansion, which features Antares Auto-Tune Access, a Softube modelling amp, the popular Massive synth from Native Instruments, the Klevgrand Essentials pack featuring an intelligent compressor (Korvpressor) and ReAmp – an amp and tape simulation – and much more!
