Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen Audio Interface

The Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 4th Gen is a 16-in, 16-out USB-C audio interface that combines two 4th Gen mic preamps with extensive analog and digital I/O. It uses converters from Focusrite's flagship RedNet range, delivering a 122dB dynamic range at up to 24-bit/192kHz. ADAT and S/PDIF connectivity let you expand your channel count by up to ten additional inputs and outputs.

Monitoring and Recording

Two independent headphone outputs and A/B speaker switching make the 16i16 well suited for project studios where you need flexible monitoring. Auto Gain handles up to two microphones at once, Clip Safe protects against unexpected peaks, and Air mode (Presence and Harmonic Drive) adds analog console character to your preamps.
