Scarlett 18i8 is an advanced model of the Scarlett 3rd Gen sound card product series, providing producers and sound engineers with the ability to use a fully professional device beyond the recording studio walls. It offers four line and four combined inputs for simultaneous recording of instruments and vocals, as well as four line outputs and two headphone outputs with separate volume control. Card connectivity is enhanced by pairs of MIDI and SPDIF connectors or the presence of ADAT optical input. Scarlett 18i8 features high-quality AD / DA converters capable of up to 24-bit / 192kHz resolution or AIR mode microphone preamps to simulate 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.

This four-channel mixer offers extensive connectivity and management capabilities for multiple audio sources. This flexibility allows you to create more complex mixes and combine different instruments for a richer audio experience.
This product features four preamplifiers that provide professional audio processing for four separate channels. This configuration allows multiple instruments or microphones to be connected and processed simultaneously, while maintaining clean, dynamic sound with low noise.
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.
