Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen
Product information "Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen"
Scarlett 18i20 is the industry-leading USB audio interface for project studios. The professional converters come directly from Focusrite's flagship RedNet range. Ideal for tracking: the eight 4th-generation microphone preamps deliver an impressive 69 dB of gain and can capture even the most dynamic performances. The Auto Gain and Clip Safe modes take care of level control so you can focus fully on recording. Scarlett 18i16 is also the ideal control centre to equip your DAW and hardware with plenty of analogue and digital inputs and outputs for connecting various external instruments, processors and effects. Even complex routing tasks can be implemented incredibly easily using the Focusrite Control 2 software.
