Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4G Audio Interface

Designed as a full‑featured studio hub, the Scarlett 16i16 delivers 16 inputs and 16 outputs in a compact desktop unit that’s perfect for artists and producers with multiple instruments and outboard gear. Two remote‑controllable, ultra‑low‑noise mic preamps provide up to 69 dB of gain, while six additional line inputs, Hi‑Z instrument inputs, S/PDIF, ADAT and MIDI I/O let you patch in guitars, synths, grooveboxes and controllers without repatching your rig.

Fourth‑generation converters derived from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet range yield a huge 122 dB dynamic range at up to 24‑bit/192 kHz, capturing every nuance of your performance. Auto Gain and Clip Safe set and continuously optimize levels so you’ll never lose a take, and two re‑engineered Air modes (Presence & Harmonic Drive) add big‑console character whenever you need it.

Independent headphone, monitor and line outputs—plus speaker A/B switching—let you create custom cue mixes for performers while dialing in the perfect control‑room balance. Bus‑power over USB‑C (3 A) or the included 15 W supply keeps your setup flexible, and Focusrite Control 2 software (desktop & mobile) gives you wireless control from anywhere in the studio.
