Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (3rd Gen) USB Audio Interface

The Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (3rd Gen) is a professional-grade USB audio interface built for producers, bands, and multi-instrumentalists who demand maximum I/O flexibility without compromising on studio-quality sound. With 18 inputs and 8 outputs, it delivers everything you need to record, mix, and monitor — all from a compact desktop unit.

8 Outputs: 4 balanced TRS line outputs, 2 independent stereo headphone outputs with dedicated volume knobs (Outputs 5–8), and 2 S/PDIF coaxial outputs.

Standout Features:
