With 18 inputs and 20 outputs, including eight high-quality mic preamps and a variety of connectivity options, you'll have all the I/O you need to record a full band or songwriter setup. The Scarlett 18i20's newly designed preamps offer an ultrawide gain range and low noise, allowing you to capture every nuance of your performance. You'll get the same renowned sound quality as Focusrite's flagship interfaces, with studio-grade 24-bit/192kHz converters and up to 122dB dynamic range providing pristine clarity.</p> <h3 style="font-family: Arial;">Versatile Connectivity for any Setup</h3> <p style=""><font face="Arial">With eight analog inputs, including two instrument inputs and ADAT and SPDIF digital I/O, the Scarlett 18i20 has all the connectivity you need.

Re-create the sound of Focusrite's classic consoles with the Red 2 & 3 plug-in, use the Softube Amp Room to dial in realistic amp tones or add studio reverb with Relab's LX480 Essentials. Auto-Tune Access provides real-time pitch correction, while splice Sounds gives you access to millions of samples and presets to power your music productions. You'll have an entire studio's worth of processing right at your fingertips.</font></p><h3><font face="Arial">Auto Gain: Work Faster<br></font></h3><p style=""><font face="Arial">Scarlett 18i20 has unique workflow tools that benefit engineers of all experience levels. With Auto Gain, in just a few seconds, Scarlett will set the perfect level for whatever you’re recording. For more complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on 18i20 or through the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop applications.</font><br></p> <h3 style="font-family: Arial;">Simple Yet Powerful Control Software</h3> <p style=""><font face="Arial">The Scarlett 18i20 works with Focusrite Control, an intuitive desktop app for macOS and Windows that lets you configure routing, monitoring and more with a few clicks of your mouse. Focusrite Control is also available as an iOS/Android app, allowing you to adjust monitor mixes and preamp gains from your mobile device. Set up a recording in seconds with Auto Gain, which automatically sets input levels and never lose a take thanks to Clip Safe, which tweaks gain in real time to avoid clipping.</font></p><h3><font face="Arial">Talkback and Monitoring Tools<br></font></h3><p style=""><font face="Arial">The 18i20 features a built-in talkback mic, A/B speaker switching for instant referencing on various monitor configurations including multi-speaker systems, and eight channels of LED bar metering, which can be assigned to inputs or outputs, as well as master output metering.</font></p><h3><font face="Arial">Control Your Mixes With Desktop and Mobile Apps</font><br></h3><p style=""><font face="Arial">The Focusrite Control 2 software takes care of setting up routing, levels, monitor mixes and all other functions on 18i20. It’s fast and simple to operate; and in addition to the desktop application, the iOS and Android Focusrite Control 2 apps enables engineers and performers to adjust monitor mixes and multiple mic pre gains—Scarlett’s preamps are remote controllable—away from the computer in the live room.</font><br></p> <h3 style="font-family: Arial;">Includes Industry-Standard Recording Software</h3> <p style="font-family: Arial;"><font face="Arial">The Scarlett 18i20 comes with everything you need to start recording and producing music.
