Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen 18x8 USB Audio Interface, 3nd Generation

Unbeatable, studio-quality sound right out of the box, Focusrite releases the third-generation Scarlett 18i8 as an ideal interface for engineers and producers needing to adapt to their recording environment on the fly. This high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converter USB audio interface features four of Scarlett's advanced third-generation mic preamps with a switchable Air setting feeding your vocal recording a brighter, more open sound. Each mic preamp also features a pad to smooth out higher-level signals without clipping. Two independent headphone outputs allow you to engineer and monitor during recording sessions, while two extra line outputs and speaker-switching technology for dual monitor setups streamline your entire workflow. Podcasts, live streaming, and sampling are easy with the pair of virtual loopback inputs that allow capturing a stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback channels. Scarlett 18i8 is powered by a standard USB-C connection to Mac or PC or via the included power supply. The 18i8 comes with some of the best-loved tools in the business, including Hitmaker Expansion, with exclusive content from legendary Auto-Tune® creators Antares®, along with Brainworx®, Softube®, XLN Audio®, Relab, and more. Plus, you get Ableton Live Lite and a three-month Avid® Pro Tools® Artist Subscription with the Complete Plugin bundle. And as with all Focusrite products, you’ll also benefit from a three-year warranty and award-winning customer support.
