Highlights:
Eight detailed, ultra-low-noise preamps.
Connect your studio to 18i20’s 4th-Generation remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s most transparent and detailed ever. 69dB of gain range provides all of the headroom you'll need to get the best result from the most intense multi-track recordings. Control preamp levels from anywhere in the studio using the Focusrite Control 2 apps, giving you the freedom to adjust settings remotely.
Auto Gain and Clip Safe
Let 18i20 handle your levels. Auto Gain will set all eight microphone preamp levels instantly and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You'll never lose a take again.
Play your instruments
Connect a guitar directly to 18i20’s Hi-Z inputs for an amp-like feel, plug synths and grooveboxes into the eight line inputs, or route your favourite outboard gear through the ten line outputs.
Control MIDI devices
Use 18i20 as a MIDI interface to receive and send data to your favourite external MIDI-controllable equipment.
Expand your setup
Increase your channel count with up to 10 additional inputs and outputs by using the S/PDIF and ADAT connections. Dual ADAT supports eight channels of audio at 96kHz. The Word Clock output ensures your external gear stays perfectly synced.
Additional Features:
Mix your way, with independent outputs
Take full control of your routing and mixing preferences using the Focusrite Control 2 apps, anywhere in the studio.
Dial in the perfect headphone mix for the artist, or route the signal directly to outboard gear to put the finishing touches on your mix.
Get that big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes
Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer. Presence and Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.
Huge 122dB dynamic range for incredible recordings
Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.
Powerful sound, powerful control
Two custom-designed headphone amps deliver clear, powerful sound for high-impedance headphones, offering the best playback ever from a Scarlett.
A built-in talkback mic ensures seamless communication to the artists, while alt monitor switching lets you A/B your mixes between two speaker pairs.
Focusrite Control 2
Focusrite Control 2 is a powerful app that easily manages Scarlett 4th Gen interfaces on Windows and macOS devices. Pair the iOS and Android app to your desktop computer to remotely control your Scarlett from anywhere in your recording space.
