Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen USB Audio Interface

The Scarlett 16i16 is a versatile USB audio interface built for recording and production in project studios. With 16 inputs and 16 outputs, including two 4th Generation mic preamps offering up to 69dB of gain, it captures a wide range of performances with exceptional clarity. Auto Gain and Clip Safe functions automatically manage input levels, so you can focus on your performance instead of technical details. The interface’s re-engineered Air mode adds analog warmth and harmonic richness, bringing vocals and instruments to the front of the mix.

Beyond its analog connections, the Scarlett 16i16 also features digital I/O options like ADAT and SPDIF, allowing seamless integration with other studio gear. Equipped with high-quality 24-bit/192kHz converters from Focusrite’s RedNet range, it offers a professional-grade audio path with an impressive 120dB dynamic range. This ensures every recording, from the softest nuances to the loudest peaks, is captured with clarity and precision. Low-latency monitoring, direct routing, and six internal mixers give you the flexibility to route audio wherever needed within your setup.

Focusrite Control 2 software makes managing routing, levels, and monitor mixes simple, offering intuitive control over all the interface’s features. Available for both desktop and mobile platforms, it allows remote adjustments to preamp gains and mix settings. The Scarlett 16i16 also includes two custom-designed headphone amps for high-quality, independent monitoring, and A/B speaker switching for easy referencing between different monitor setups.
