Overview

Capture studio-quality sound with intelligent features for streamlined music production.

The Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th generation audio interface provides an all-in-one solution for capturing and mixing high-quality audio. With its 16 inputs and 16 outputs, this versatile interface connects all your gear so you can record every element of your setup. Six analog inputs provide connectivity for outboard gear, while powerful outputs ensure ultralow distortion playback. Two headphone amps drive high-impedance headphones for mixing and overdubbing.

Class-leading Audio Quality

The Scarlett 16i16 features professional-grade converters for pristine 24-bit/192kHz audio. With an unparalleled 122dB of dynamic range, it captures everything from subtle nuance to the thunder of drums. The latest generation Scarlett preamps offer high headroom to capture dynamic performances without distortion. Hear your recordings in stunning detail to craft mixes with confidence.

Enhanced Air Mode

Re-engineered Air mode brings the character of a classic console to your tracks. Engaging Air mode adds musical presence and rich harmonic overtones to vocals, acoustic guitars and other instruments. Dial in the sound of a vintage console on individual tracks or your entire mix for analog warmth and dimension.

Streamline Your Workflow

The Scarlett 16i16 provides powerful workflow tools so you can get to work quickly. Auto gain sets the perfect level for any input in seconds so you can capture multiple mics instantly. Clip safe technology monitors levels 96,000 times a second to prevent clipping, ensuring you never lose a take. The Focusrite Control desktop and mobile apps simplify setup and let you adjust monitor mixes and preamp gains without returning to your computer.
