Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 V4 USB Audio Interface

The Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 V4 USB Audio Interface is the 4th generation of industry-leading USB audio interfaces for artists and producers; including RedNet converters, two Focusrite mic preamps, and an array of innovative workflow tools.

The Scarlett 16i16 is the ideal interface for artists to record and create. It has pro-grade converters taken directly from Focusrite’s RedNet range and two 4th Gen mic preamps with an impressive 69dB of gain, capable of capturing the most dynamic performances. Auto Gain and Clip Safe modes take care of levels so you can focus on the take. Scarlett 16i16 is the perfect hub to integrate your DAW and hardware with enough analogue and digital I/O to connect external instruments, processors, and effects, and manage complex routing with incredible ease via Focusrite Control 2 software.

The producer’s Scarlett
Featuring converters taken directly from Focusrite’s broadcast-ready RedNet range, Scarlett 16i16 is the industry-leading USB audio interface for project studios. It features 16 inputs and 16 outputs — including two mic preamps, Hi-Z instrument and line inputs, ADAT, SPDIF, and MIDI. 

Capture every detail
The 4th Generation preamps offer an impressive 69dB of headroom, so you can capture the most dynamic performances. With a total of six analogue inputs, you have ample connectivity for outboard gear. Powerful outputs ensure clean, ultra-low distortion playback; plus, two brand new custom-designed headphone amps which can drive high-impedance headphones.

Class-leading audio quality
The Scarlett 16i16 incorporates completely revamped audio circuitry, equipped with the same professional-grade 24-bit, 192kHz converters found in Focusrite’s RedNet range, used in top recording studios and broadcast facilities worldwide. Experience unparalleled clarity with 122dB of dynamic range to capture everything from a whisper to a jet engine.

Enhance your sound with Air mode
Re-engineered Air mode takes your sound’s unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding musical presence or rich harmonic drive to vocals and acoustic instruments; replicating the sound of driving a classic studio console.

Auto Gain: Work faster
Designed to assist engineers of all levels, Auto Gain sets the optimal recording levels for any inputs in just a few seconds, getting you ready to record in moments. For more complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on the interface or through the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop applications.

Clip Safe: Never lose a take
With Clip Safe actively monitoring levels up to 96,000 times per second, Scarlett 16i16 automatically adjusts gain to prevent clipping so you avoid introducing any unwanted artefacts from hard limiting. Never miss a crucial take, especially in high-pressure recording environments such as live shows and location recordings.

Easy control with desktop and mobile app
Use the software, Focusrite Control 2, to manage routing and levels, monitor mixes, and control other features of Scarlett 16i16. The desktop software, plus apps for iOS and Android, enable engineers and performers to adjust monitor mixes and multiple mic pre gains remotely — especially useful in live rooms.

Industry-leading production software
The 4th generation Scarlett 16i16 comes with Pro Tools Intro+ for Focusrite, Ableton Live Lite, six months of FL Studio Producer Edition, and a whole host of software instruments, processors, effects, and royalty-free samples from some of the biggest names in the business.
