Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen – Versatile Audio Interface for Artists and Producers

Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen is a multifunctional audio interface designed for both home music projects and professional recording studios. Its compact design and a wealth of inputs and outputs (I/O) allow seamless connection of all your instruments and studio hardware, providing clear sound quality and complete control over your recordings.

Perfect Functionality for Your Studio:

• Two Remote-Controlled Scarlett 4th Generation Preamps: Offering ultra-low noise and high sensitivity, these preamps provide top-quality sound and can be controlled remotely via the Focusrite Control 2 app. With a 69 dB gain range, you’ll have plenty of headroom to capture dynamic sound sources with precision.
• Connect Instruments and External Hardware: Two Hi-Z inputs for guitars or basses deliver an authentic amp-like sound. Six line inputs allow you to connect synthesizers, grooveboxes, and other studio equipment, while four line outputs enable integration with your favorite outboard gear.
• Complete MIDI Control: Scarlett 16i16 comes equipped with MIDI In and Out ports, making it easy to control external MIDI devices like controllers, synthesizers, or drum machines.

Advanced Features for Professional Production:

• Auto Gain and Clip Safe: These features automatically set optimal signal levels and protect your recordings from clipping, ensuring every take is perfect without losing audio quality.
• Air Mode and Harmonic Drive: Bring the sound of a big console to your recording space. The Air Mode with Presence boosts the high-end frequencies, adding freshness and clarity to your recordings. Harmonic Drive adds harmonic richness for a fuller sound. Ideal for vocals, acoustic guitars, or drum overheads.
• Expandability with S/PDIF and ADAT: As your studio grows, Scarlett 16i16 allows you to add up to 10 additional inputs and outputs via S/PDIF and ADAT connections, letting you expand your setup without needing to replace your interface.

Precision Monitoring and Mixing:

• Independent Monitoring Mixes: Two headphone outputs enable separate mixes for the producer and artist, while four line outputs allow simultaneous monitoring through different speaker systems or outboard gear. All of this can be easily managed via the Focusrite Control 2 app.
• Alt Monitor Switching: Switch between two sets of monitors for A/B comparisons of your mixes – essential for professional studio setups.
