Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen Fourth Generation 18 In 20 Out USB-C Audio Interface With Eight 4th Gen Scarlett Mic Preamps SKU# SCARLETT 18I20 4TH GEN

Transform your project studio with the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 - the ultimate hub featuring eight ultra-low-noise preamps and 18 inputs for all your gear.

Scarlett 18i20 is the ultimate studio hub for demanding project studios. Fully equipped with 18 inputs and 20 outputs, including eight of our most detailed ultra-low-noise mic preamps, line, Hi-Z, and MIDI connections for your drums, vocals, guitars, keys, and synths. Focusrite Control 2 provides flexible routing and mixing options, allowing you to customise 18i20's independent outputs to suit the needs of any recording session. Expand and sync your setup with ADAT, S/PDIF, and Word Clock connections.

Air mode, with Presence and Harmonic Drive, brings the sound of big studio consoles to your recordings, while Auto Gain and Clip Safe ensure you never worry about levels. Low-latency monitoring, A/B speaker switching, and a built-in talkback mic are perfect for serious project studios. The Hitmaker Expansion software bundle has all the tools you need to record, produce, and release your tracks. And the Focusrite Control 2 desktop and mobile apps enable you to remotely control your Scarlett anywhere in the studio.

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.

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.

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.

Use 18i20 as a MIDI interface to receive and send data to your favourite external MIDI-controllable equipment.

Increase your channel count with up to 10 additional inputs and outputs when using the S/PDIF and ADAT connections. The Word Clock output ensures your external gear remains perfectly synced.

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.

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.

Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces - as found in high-end studios around the world.

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.

Once you've got started with Ableton Live Lite, three months of Pro Tools Artist, or six months of FL Studio Producer Edition recording software (all included), the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of record-making studio tools from the biggest names in the business.
