Two remote-controllable preamps
122dB dynamic range
Auto Gain and Clip Safe
Control remotely via mobile app
Two Air modes
Expandable I/O
Artists and producers. This is your Scarlett.
Two of our most detailed, ultra-low-noise preamps.
Plug into 16i16’s 4th-Generation remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s most transparent and detailed ever. 69dB of gain range provides all of the headroom you’ll need to get the best result from the most dynamic performances. Control preamp levels from anywhere in the studio using the Focusrite Control 2 apps, giving you the freedom to adjust settings remotely.
Auto Gain and Clip Safe.
Let 16i16 handle your levels. Auto Gain sets your levels and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You’ll never lose a take again.
All the I/O you need
Play your instruments.
Connect a guitar to 16i16’s Hi-Z inputs for an amp-like feel, plug synths and grooveboxes into the six line inputs, or use the four line outputs for your favourite outboard gear.
Control MIDI devices.
Use 16i16 as a MIDI interface to receive and send data to your favourite external MIDI-controllable equipment.
Expand your setup.
Increase your channel count with up to 10 additional inputs and outputs via the S/PDIF and ADAT connections.
Mix your way, with independent outputs.
With 16i16, headphones, monitors, and line outs each get their own mix, so you can create the perfect studio setup for your speakers, the artist’s headphones, or outboard gear — controllable anywhere in the studio via the Focusrite Control 2 apps.
Get that big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes.
Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.
Huge 122dB dynamic range for incredible recordings.
Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.
Powerful sound, powerful control.
Two custom-designed headphone amps deliver clear, powerful sound for high-impedance headphones, offering the best playback ever from a Scarlett.
Alt monitor switching lets you A/B your mixes between two speaker pairs — essential for studio setups with multiple monitors.
All the software you need to make a hit record.
Once you’ve got started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, or six months of FL Studio Producer Edition recording software (all included), the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of record-making studio tools from the biggest names in the business.
