Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4 USB Audio Interface
The Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4 is the ultimate hub for your studio, delivering exceptional audio clarity to capture every detail of your sound. This sleek, rack-mountable interface is built for producers, engineers, and bands looking to elevate their recordings.
Acting as a seamless controller for your audio, it handles complex sessions with ease, letting you focus on what truly matters: the music.
Unlock Your Studio's Full Potential
Engineered to be the heart of your creative space, the Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4 offers extensive connectivity and intelligent features to streamline your recording process. From tracking a full band to integrating your favorite outboard gear, this interface delivers the power and flexibility you need to bring your most ambitious projects to life.
Pro-Grade Converters: The 16i16 is equipped with the same 24-bit/192kHz converters found in Focusrite’s elite RedNet series. This means you get the same world-class audio fidelity used in top studios, capturing your sound with an incredible 120dB of dynamic range. Your recordings will be so clear and detailed, you’ll hear every whisper, every breath, and every ounce of emotion.
Two High-Headroom Mic Preamps: The two 4th Gen mic preamps are Focusrite's cleanest and most detailed yet, offering a massive 69dB of gain. Whether you’re recording a delicate vocal performance or a cranked guitar amp, these preamps have enough headroom to capture the most dynamic sources without breaking a sweat.
Re-Engineered Air Mode: Ready for that "big console" sound? The revamped Air mode adds a touch of magic, letting you choose between musical presence for sparkling clarity or rich harmonic drive for that classic, saturated character. It’s like having a vintage recording desk at your fingertips.
Workflow That Just Works
Forget about spending half your session troubleshooting. The Scarlett 16i16 is loaded with smart features that let you set levels and record with confidence, ensuring you never lose a perfect take. It’s all about making technology work for you, not against you.
Auto Gain and Clip Safe: Auto Gain sets your recording level in seconds, while Clip Safe monitors your signal 96,000 times per second, adjusting gain to prevent clipping. Capture every performance flawlessly.
Focusrite Control 2 Software: Managing complex routing has never been easier. The intuitive Control 2 software gives you complete command over your mixes and routing from your desktop. Even better, with the iOS and Android apps, you can adjust monitor mixes and preamp levels remotely, without ever leaving your performance sweet spot.
Pro Tools Intro+ and Hitmaker Expansion: The 16i16 doesn't just give you an interface; it gives you a complete studio-in-a-box. You get a perpetual license for Pro Tools Intro+ and the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle, which includes legendary tools from Antares, Softube, Native Instruments, and more. It’s everything you need to write, record, mix, and master your music.
Your All-in-One Connectivity Hub
The Scarlett 16i16 is built to be the central hub of your creative space, offering all the I/O you need to connect your entire setup. From mics and instruments to synths and drum machines, this interface is ready for anything you throw at it.
16 Inputs & 16 Outputs: With two mic preamps, Hi-Z instrument inputs for your guitars, and plenty of line inputs, you have the flexibility to record a full band. Plus, with ADAT expandability, you can add up to eight more preamps for even larger sessions.
MIDI and S/PDIF I/O: Seamlessly integrate your favorite synths, drum machines, and digital effects processors. The 16i16 acts as the perfect bridge between your analog and digital worlds, keeping everything perfectly in sync.
Monitor Groups for Surround Sound: Easily manage multi-speaker setups, including 2.1 and 5.1 surround sound. This makes the 16i16 an ideal choice for producers working on film scores or immersive audio projects.
A Producer's Perfect Partner
Whether you're expanding your project studio or building a rig to track a full band, the Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 Gen 4 provides the professional sound, massive connectivity, and intelligent workflow tools you need to create without limits.
