Eight of our most precise, ultra-low-noise preamps
Connect your studio to the 18i20's remotely controlled preamps—the most transparent and detailed Scarlett preamps ever.
A 69 dB gain range provides all the headroom you need to get the best out of even the most demanding multitrack recordings.

Auto Gain and Clip Safe
Let the 18i20 handle your levels. The Auto Gain function instantly sets the levels for all eight microphone preamps, while the "Clip Safe" feature keeps them at the optimal level by automatically adjusting the gain if there's a risk of clipping.

Create your own mix with independent outputs
Take full control of your routing and mixing preferences using the "Focusrite Control 2" app, from anywhere in the studio.
Set up the perfect headphone mix for the artist, or route signals directly to external gear to add the finishing touches to your mix.

Achieve that high-end console sound with two redesigned "Air" modes
Presence mode boosts the high frequencies of your signal, bringing the sound to the forefront of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and bring out the shimmer in drum overheads.
Harmonic Drive mode enhances mid-range harmonics, helping your sound's unique character stand out in the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or any other instrument that needs a bit more grit.

A massive 122 dB dynamic range for incredible recordings
Scarlett delivers stunning audio quality, featuring converters taken directly from our flagship RedNet interfaces—the same ones found in high-end studios around the world.

Powerful sound, powerful control
Two custom-designed headphone amplifiers deliver clear, powerful sound—even for high-impedance headphones—providing the best playback performance ever heard from a Scarlett interface. A built-in talkback microphone ensures seamless communication with artists, while the alt monitor switching function allows you to compare your mixes (A/B) between two pairs of speakers.
