Equipped with high performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, the Scarlett 8i6 gets you professional sound quality with it’s improved A-D and D-A conversion, ensuring your recording quality is the best it can be. The 8i6 has two of Focusrite’s best-performing mic preamps with an optional ‘Air’ setting that reproduces the effect of the original ISA mic preamp, giving your recorded vocals a brighter sound with punch and clarity.

The focus of the 3rd Gen interfaces was to increase the connectivity to enable simultaneous recording of a variety of instruments without unwanted clipping and distortion. The Scarlett 8i6 allows you to record guitar and bass using the high-headroom instrument inputs as well as giving you six flexible line inputs. Two of these have gain control and are located on the front, the other four are fixed line on the rear of the interface, allowing you to record up to six mono or three stereo sources with the utmost clarity.

A pair of virtual loopback inputs let you capture a stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback channels, which makes it a doddle to podcast, live stream as well as assisting in sampling tasks. The 8i6 takes a simple connection to your PC or MAC via USB cable and there are also two independent, high-quality headphone outs with dedicated volume controls to ensure versatile and flexible monitoring whilst recording.
