Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Recording, Songwriting, & Streaming

The compact Scarlett 8i6 is the studio solution you've been searching for, allowing you to keep all your hardware plugged in and ready to go. With enhanced A-D and D-A conversion, your recordings and playback will sound clear and pronounced up to 24-bit/192kHz. Additionally, two independent high-fidelity headphone outputs with dedicated volume control enable flexible monitoring during recording and mixing.

The 8i6 provides two of Focusrite's best-ever-performing 3rd Gen Scarlett mic preamps with an optional Air setting to reproduce the Air effect of their original ISA mic preamp, giving your vocal or acoustic recordings a brighter, more open sound. You can record guitars or bass via the two high-headroom instrument inputs without any clipping or unwanted distortion. Furthermore, the six flexible line inputs – two on the front with gain control, and four fixed-line on the back – allow you to record up to six mono or three stereo line-level sources such as synthesizers or drum machines. A pair of virtual loopback inputs enable you to capture a stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback channels.

Scarlett 8i6 is designed to withstand days on the road and connects straight to your Mac or PC via USB cable. Your Scarlett 8i6 comes with the Hitmaker Expansion, an unbeatable range of tried-and-tested studio tools from some of the biggest names in the business.
