Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen Audio Interface
Scarlett 18i20 is the industry-leading USB audio interface for project studios, with pro-grade converters taken directly from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet range. It’s ideal for tracking; the eight 4th Gen mic preamps have an impressive 69dB of gain, capable of capturing the most dynamic performances, with Auto Gain and Clip Safe modes taking care of levels so you can focus on the take. Scarlett 18i20 is also the perfect hub to integrate your DAW and hardware with more than enough analogue and digital I/O to connect a huge number of external instruments, processors, and effects, and manage complex routing with incredible ease via Focusrite Control 2 software.
