Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 USB Audio Interface (4th Gen)

Scarlett 16i16 is a compact, all-in-one studio hub for your instruments and outboard gear.

Ideal for artists and producers, 16i16 is equipped with enough I/O to connect all your studio gear.

Two of our most detailed ultra-low-noise mic preamps. Hi-Z, line, and MIDI connections for your guitars, keys, synths, grooveboxes, and controllers. With 16i16 your headphones, monitors, and line outs each get their own mix, so you can match the studio setup to the session. Expand your channel count using the S/PDIF or ADAT connections.

Air mode, with Presence and Harmonic Drive, gives you that big console sound wherever you record. Auto Gain and Clip Safe make sure you'll never need to worry about your levels. 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. 16i16 can be powered directly from a computer's USB-C port (3A), so no extra power supply is needed.

Two of Focusrite's  most detailed, ultra-low-noise preamps.
Plug into 16i16’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 dynamic performances. Control preamp levels from anywhere in the studio using the Focusrite Control 2 apps, giving you the freedom to adjust settings remotely.

Auto Gain and Clip Safe.
Let 16i16 handle your levels. Auto Gain sets your levels 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.

All the I/O you need
Connect a guitar to 16i16’s Hi-Z inputs for an amp-like feel, plug synths and grooveboxes into the six line inputs, or use the four line outputs for your favourite outboard gear.

Control your MIDI devices.
Use 16i16 as a MIDI interface to receive and send data to your favourite external MIDI-controllable equipment.

Expand your setup.
Increase your channel count with up to 10 additional inputs and outputs via the S/PDIF and ADAT connections.

Mix your way, with independent outputs.
With 16i16, headphones, monitors, and line outs each get their own mix, so you can create the perfect studio setup for your speakers, the artist's headphones, or outboard gear — controllable anywhere in the studio via the Focusrite Control 2 apps.

Get that big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes.
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 the unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.

Huge 122dB dynamic range for incredible recordings.
Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.

Powerful sound, powerful control.
Two custom-designed headphone amps deliver clear, powerful sound for high-impedance headphones, offering the best playback ever from a Scarlett.

Alt monitor switching lets you A/B your mixes between two speaker pairs — essential for studio setups with multiple monitors.

All the software you need to make a hit record.
