Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen USB Audio Interface -NEW  

In brief: 18-in/20-out USB-C Audio Interface with 8 Mic Preamps, Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Dynamic Halos, and Included Software

The fourth-generation Scarlett 18i20 is Focusrite’s most advanced and best-sounding Scarlett yet. With 18 inputs and 20 outputs, including 16 channels of ADAT I/O, it’s the perfect centerpiece for any expanding studio. The upgraded mic preamps offer 69dB of clean gain, enhanced with Focusrite’s signature Air Mode for added clarity and presence. Guitarists will love the hi-Z inputs for their amp-like feel, and the custom headphone amp delivers loud, detailed monitoring.

Loaded with smart features like Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Loopback, and Dynamic Metering, the 18i20 helps you capture polished results with ease. Dual headphone outputs and multiple monitor outs with grouping make it ideal for both solo producers and multi-speaker setups like 5.1 mixing. Setup is fast and beginner-friendly with the Easy Start tool.

Bundled with Pro Tools Intro+, Ableton Live Lite, Splice Sounds (3 months), and the Hitmaker Expansion, the Scarlett 18i20 gives you everything you need to record, produce, and release professional music right out of the box.
