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.
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 your 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.
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.
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.
Presence and Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making the unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.
Huge 122dB dynamic range for incredible recordings
Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from Focurite's flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
