Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB Audio/MIDI Interface

The Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB Audio/MIDI Interface is the compact studio solution you’ve been looking for, allowing you to keep all your hardware plugged in and ready to go: set up mics, guitars, and synths to start creating as soon as inspiration strikes. With improved A-D and D-A conversion, your recordings and playback will sound clear and pronounced up to 24-bit/192kHz and two independent high-fidelity headphone outputs with dedicated volume control enable flexible monitoring during recording and mixing.

Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB Audio/MIDI Interface provides two of Focusrite’s best-ever-performing third-generation Scarlett mic preamps: with an optional Air setting to reproduce the Air effect of their original ISA mic preamp, giving your vocal or acoustic recordings a brighter and more open sound.

Record guitars or bass via the two high-headroom instrument inputs without any clipping or unwanted distortion. And get creative using the six flexible line inputs-two on the front with gain control, and four fixed-line on the back allowing you to record up to six mono or three stereo line-level sources such as synthesizers or drum machines.

A pair of virtual loopback inputs allows you to capture a stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback channels-making podcasting, live streaming, and sampling tasks easier.

Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB Audio/MIDI Interface is designed to stand up to days on the road and connects straight to your Mac or PC via a USB cable.
