Overview

Capture studio-quality sound with intelligent features for streamlined music production.

The Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen audio interface provides an all-in-one solution for capturing and mixing high-quality audio. With its 16 inputs and 16 outputs, this versatile interface connects all your gear so you can record every element of your setup. Six analog inputs provide connectivity for outboard gear, while powerful outputs ensure ultralow distortion playback. Two headphone amps drive high-impedance headphones for mixing and overdubbing.

Class-leading Audio Quality

The Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4 features professional-grade converters for pristine 24-bit/192kHz audio.

Enhanced Air Mode

Re-engineered Air mode brings the character of a classic console to your tracks. Engaging Air mode adds musical presence and rich harmonic overtones to vocals, acoustic guitars and other instruments. Dial in the sound of a vintage console on individual tracks or your entire mix for analog warmth and dimension.

Auto Gain: Work Faster

Designed to assist engineers of all levels, Auto Gain sets the optimal recording levels for any inputs in just a few seconds, getting you ready to record in moments. For more complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on the interface or through the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop applications.
