About Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen

Under the umbrella of professional audio recording and production, the Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen USB Interface stands out as a high-quality, versatile, and durable solution. This innovative device is designed for recording engineers and producers who require adaptability in diverse recording environments.

The Scarlett 18i8 offers eight analog inputs, including four mic/line inputs, two high-impedance instrument inputs, and four additional fixed-line inputs located on the rear. An optical input expands the device's capabilities, allowing for up to eight additional channels, perfect for larger recording sessions.

With enhanced A-D and D-A conversion, your recordings and playback will resonate with clarity and distinction up to 24-bit/192kHz, a crucial feature for perfecting your mix. The Scarlett 18i8 is equipped with four of Focusrite's best-performing third-generation Scarlett mic preamps. These include an optional Air setting to replicate the Air effect of their original ISA mic preamp, enhancing your vocal or acoustic recordings with a brighter and more open sound.

Every mic preamp features a pad to accommodate higher-level signals without clipping. The Scarlett 18i8 also offers two extra line outputs over its predecessor, along with speaker switching technology for dual monitor setups. Two independent headphone outputs allow both engineer and artist to monitor during recording sessions.

For podcasters, live streamers, and samplers, the device includes a pair of virtual loopback inputs, enabling you to capture a stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback channels.

Designed to withstand the rigors of on-the-road use, the Scarlett 18i8 connects directly to your Mac or PC via a USB cable. It comes bundled with a comprehensive suite of software tools, including Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools First Focusrite Creative Pack, and the Hitmaker Expansion.

In partnership with Splice, Focusrite offers 3rd Gen. interface owners a free 3-month Splice Sounds subscription with a new Splice account. Splice Sounds provides millions of high-quality, royalty-free one-shots, loops, and presets, with daily new releases.

The Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen USB Interface is more than just an audio interface; it's a complete recording and production solution, offering a range of professional-grade tools and software to help you create, produce, mix, and master your music in studio quality.
