Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4 16-in/16-out USB Audio Interface w/ Auto Gain

The Scarlett 16i16 stands as a comprehensive USB audio interface that brings professional studio capabilities to project recording environments. With its 16 inputs and 16 outputs configuration, this interface incorporates two 4th Generation mic preamps offering up to 69dB of gain for clear, dynamic sound capture. The Auto Gain and Clip Safe functions automatically optimise input levels, allowing musicians to concentrate on their performance without worrying about technical adjustments. The re-engineered Air mode adds analogue warmth and harmonic detail that makes vocals and instruments cut through the mix with enhanced presence.

Professional-grade audio quality comes courtesy of premium 24-bit/192kHz converters sourced from Focusrite's RedNet range, providing an impressive 120dB dynamic range that captures everything from subtle nuances to powerful peaks with pristine clarity. The interface extends beyond analogue I/O with ADAT and SPDIF connectivity for seamless hardware expansion, while six internal mixers provide flexible routing options and low-latency monitoring ensures smooth tracking sessions.

Studio management becomes intuitive through the Focusrite Control 2 software, which handles routing, levels, and monitor mixes across desktop and mobile devices, including remote preamp gain adjustments. Additional features include dual custom-designed headphone amps for independent monitoring, A/B speaker switching for easy referencing, and LED metering for quick visual level checks. The package includes essential software such as Pro Tools Artist, Ableton Live Lite, and premium plugins to create a complete production toolkit.
