Plus, the onboard talkback feature and built-in talkback mic streamline the task of communicating with your artists during recording sessions.

With four balanced 1/4" line/monitor outputs, six additional 1/4" line outs, two 1/4" stereo headphone jacks, and independent control of the headphone and speaker volume settings, the Scarlett 18i20 can simultaneously feed multiple monitoring systems and outboard effects processors. The Scarlett 18i20's 24-bit / 192 kHz converters ensure that signals are captured and reproduced with detail and clarity. Utilise the dual ADAT optical input and output ports to interface external 8-channel AD/DA converters (available separately). The first two XLR-1/4" combo inputs can accept unbalanced instrument-level from guitars and basses, and synthesisers and drum machines, or balanced line-level from a mixing console or outboard preamps, while combo inputs 3-8 support mic- or line-level sources.

The eight improved Scarlett microphone preamps feature switchable phantom power, input pads, and selectable Air circuits, which add brightness based on Focusrite's legendary ISA preamplifier.
