Digital Audio Recording Solution

The Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Gen) features everything you need to turn your computer into a digital recording solution. It improves on its original design to deliver maximum audio quality and performance. The interface features an 18 in / 8 out configuration, featuring eight analog inputs, with four Scarlett mic preamps and two newly-design instrument inputs. The newly-designed instrument inputs give you the ability to record any instrument input, even the most demanding guitar pick-ups. There are also four additional line inputs located on the rear panel, allowing you to connect a range of inputs from guitars and basses to dynamic microphones.

Expansive Connectivity

The 18i20 also features a range of different inputs and outputs including digital connectivity with SPDIF inputs, allowing you to record six simultaneous channels at once. The interface also features MIDI connectivity, allowing you to connect a range of external MIDI devices. The ADAT expansion ports allow you to add up to eight extra analog inputs and outputs, perfect for digital musicians who use a lot of outboard gear or need a higher channel count. Monitoring is handled by the two discrete headphone outputs. They feature dedicated volume controls for maximum efficiency, allowing both you and the artist to listen to your recordings as you work.

Improved Design and Functionality

The Scarlett 18i20 has been improved tenfold with a range of new features and functions that improve performance and audio quality. One of the most prominent upgrades is the new super-low latency performance. The super-low roundtrip latency improves performance and efficiency by minimising the delay between the original signal and the processed signal on your computer. This is paramount when recording vocals or instruments as it gives you the ability to record signals as close to real-time as possible. The Scarlett 18i20 now operates at a sample rate of up to 24-bit/192kHz for maximum audio quality, perfect for capturing high quality recordings from both microphones and instruments.

New Software Bundle

The Scarlett 18i20 also features a brand new software bundle, providing you with everything you need to record, edit and mix your recordings. The new software bundle includes Red 2 & 3 Plug-in Suite, Softube Time and Tone Pack, Ableton Live Lite music making software, Novation Bass Station VST with AU Plugin-Synthesiser, 2GB of Loopmasters sounds and samples, plus Pro tools First (First Focusrite Creative Pack). This software bundle provides you with everything you need you get started out of the box. The addition of the Pro Tools First (First Focusrite Creative Pack) adds to its functionality, providing you with the Pro Tools First software and 12 free plug-ins.
