What sets the Scarlett 18i20 3rd Gen USB Interface apart is its exceptional blend of professional-grade features and high-quality sound. Encased in a robust 1U rack-mountable enclosure, this third-generation interface is the epitome of reliability and durability, designed to elevate any studio setup. With a total of 18 inputs and 20 outputs, including eight of Focusrite's finest Scarlett mic preamps, the 18i20 ensures that your recordings are captured with the utmost clarity and detail.

The advanced A-D and D-A conversion technology of the Scarlett 18i20 guarantees pristine audio quality, supporting 24-bit/192kHz resolution to help you refine your mix with precision. The signature Air setting, inspired by Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp, breathes life into your vocal and acoustic recordings, offering a brighter, more open sound. Each mic preamp also features a pad to handle high-level signals without the risk of clipping.

For musicians, the two high-headroom instrument inputs on the front panel are engineered to record guitars and basses with zero clipping or unwanted distortion, preserving the natural tone of your instrument. The onboard speaker-switching capability allows for seamless transitions between main and alternative monitors, providing different perspectives on your mix. Additionally, the built-in talkback microphone facilitates clear communication with artists during recording sessions, ensuring that every take is captured perfectly.

The Scarlett 18i20 is not just about high-quality hardware; it also includes a comprehensive software suite to kickstart your recording journey. The included Ableton Live Lite DAW offers an intuitive platform for music creation, while the Splice Sounds membership grants access to a vast library of royalty-free samples. For those seeking professional-grade production tools, the three-month Avid Pro Tools Artist subscription with the Complete Plugin Bundle is invaluable.

Moreover, the Focusrite Plug-in Collective membership delivers a rotating selection of free software downloads and exclusive discounts. The Hitmaker Expansion, packed with industry-standard plugins like Antares Auto-Tune & Access, Relab's LX480 Essentials, and Softube's Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555, empowers you to produce studio-quality vocals, guitars, keys, and drums. The bundle also includes the iconic Focusrite Red Plug-in Suite, Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC, and selections from XLN Audio's Addictive Keys and Addictive Drums 2.
