Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 USB Audio Interface

The Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 is a professional-grade 18-in/6-out USB 2.0 audio interface built for project studios and multi-track home recording. With its compact half-rack footprint and powerful routing capabilities, it delivers everything you need to record a full band or multiple instruments simultaneously — without compromise.

Premium Sound Quality: Equipped with two Focusrite mic preamps offering ultra-low noise and distortion, the Scarlett 18i6 ensures every recording sounds clean and professional. Its 24-bit/96kHz A/D conversion with built-in jitter elimination technology guarantees pristine audio synchronization at all times. The A-D dynamic range reaches 110dB (A-weighted), with microphone inputs covering 20Hz–20kHz (±0.2dB) and a gain range of +13dB to +60dB — ideal for both delicate vocals and high-output instruments.

Built-In DSP Mixing & MIDI: The Scarlett MixControl software provides a full DSP mixer and signal router with under 1.4ms latency, offering highly flexible monitoring matrices for complex recording sessions. Dedicated 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O ports allow seamless integration with keyboards, synthesizers, and hardware sound modules.
