Featuring converters from Focusrite’s broadcast-grade RedNet range, it delivers professional 24-bit/192kHz audio with a 120dB dynamic range, capturing every nuance with pristine clarity. The 4th Generation preamps provide 69dB of headroom, ensuring distortion-free recording—even for high-SPL sources like drums and guitar stacks.

Equipped with two independent headphone outputs powered by custom amps, the 16i16 drives high-impedance headphones effortlessly. Its re-engineered Air mode emulates classic studio console tones, adding presence and harmonic richness to recordings. Advanced workflow tools like Auto Gain automatically set optimal levels, while Clip Safe continuously monitors input to prevent clipping, streamlining the recording process.

Auto Gain: Work FasterDesigned for engineers of all levels, Auto Gain sets the perfect input level in seconds. For complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on the interface or via the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop apps.

Easy Control with Desktop & Mobile AppsFocusrite Control 2 software enables seamless management of routing, levels, and monitor mixes. Available for desktop, iOS, and Android, it allows engineers and performers to adjust mic pre gains and monitor mixes remotely—ideal for live room setups.
