Producer's interface with 18 inputs and 16 outputs

The Focusrite Scarlett 18i16 is an 18-in 16-out USB-C audio and MIDI interface built for musicians, producers and creators who need extensive connectivity. It provides four microphone preamps, two Hi-Z inputs, eight line inputs, ADAT, S/PDIF and MIDI I/O in a compact portable format.

Plug in and record with Auto Gain and Clip Safe

Connection is straightforward via USB-C and the unit works in standalone mode without a computer. Auto Gain sets optimal levels quickly while Clip Safe monitors and adjusts gain in real time to prevent clipping. Bundled XLR and MIDI cables cover the most common hookups.

24-bit 192kHz converters with 122dB dynamic range

RedNet-grade AD/DA conversion delivers 24-bit 192kHz resolution and a 122dB dynamic range for detailed recordings. Air modes add presence and harmonic drive inspired by classic consoles. Buyers who need more than 18 simultaneous inputs or a different I/O configuration should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Scarlett 18i16 is operating correctly after connecting it via USB-C?

Verify the unit powers on, check that input meters respond to signals up to 69dB gain, confirm 24-bit 192kHz sample rate locks in your DAW, and test that Auto Gain sets levels without Clip Safe triggering.

What cables are included in this bundle and what must I supply myself?

The bundle provides two XLR-to-XLR cables and two Hosa MID-310 10 ft MIDI cables; you will need to provide any additional XLR, TRS, ADAT optical, S/PDIF coaxial or USB-C cables required for your specific setup.

Should I choose the 18-in 16-out configuration or a smaller Scarlett model for my studio?

Select the 18i16 when you require four mic preamps, eight line inputs, ADAT expansion, S/PDIF, MIDI I/O and standalone operation; a smaller model suits setups needing fewer simultaneous inputs and outputs.
