Product code: FR SCARLETT18i20-3G | ID: 314408
Scarlett 18i20 is the ultimate model of Scarlett 3rd Gen. A single rack unit will feature a fully professional Focusrite service in the studio. It offers a total of eighteen inputs and twenty outputs for simultaneous recording of instruments and vocals. Card connectivity is enhanced by pairs of MIDI and SPDIF connectors, or the presence of two ADAT optical inputs and outputs. Technical maturity of the interface is underlined by the possibility of WordClock synchronization. Scarlett 18i20 features high-quality AD / DA converters capable of up to 24-bit / 192kHz resolution or AIR mode microphone preamps to simulate the legendary ISA preamplifiers. The upcoming third generation of Scarlett shows significantly less distortion and latency, greater signal-to-noise ratio, or greater headroom. USB-C connectivity is new.
Focusrite's Scarlett audio interfaces now include an incredibly comprehensive and powerful plug-in bundle worth over $1,500.
Starting November 11, 2021, every new Scarlett interface comes with an unbeatable range of tried-and-tested studio tools from some of the biggest names in the business.
Hitmaker Expansion – available to every newly registered interface user – is built to get you creating records immediately. These are all the tools you need to write, produce, mix and master your music in studio quality.

This product offers 8 channels, allowing you to efficiently connect and manage multiple audio sources simultaneously. Each channel operates independently, giving you full control over each input, greatly expanding your ability to create and edit sound.
8 preamplifiers provide high quality sound processing for 8 independent channels. Each preamplifier ensures clear and detailed sound, minimizes noise, and provides excellent dynamics.
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
ADAT is a digital transmission protocol that allows the transmission of up to 8 channels of digital audio over a single optical cable (Toslink). It is often used in studio applications to increase the number of audio channels between devices such as audio interfaces and digital mixers. ADAT allows for high-quality audio transmission while providing more channels at lower sample rates. This format is ideal for situations where it is necessary to transmit multiple channels of digital audio without loss of quality.
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
S/PDIF is a digital interface used to transfer high-quality audio between devices such as CD players, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and home theaters. It transfers audio signals in digital form without any loss of quality. S/PDIF ensures clean and accurate signal transmission without the need for conversion to analog form, minimizing noise and interference, making it ideal for professional and home audio systems.
