Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 Audio Interface 3rd Gen_B stock

Available at Sadek Music, the third-generation Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 is the ultimate audio interface for recording engineers and producers who need flexibility and high-quality sound, wherever they are. It offers eight analog inputs: four mic/line inputs, two high-impedance instrument inputs, and four fixed-line inputs on the rear. An optical input expands your setup with up to eight additional channels for larger recording sessions. With improved AD/DA conversion, your recordings and playback sound crystal-clear at up to 24-bit/192kHz, ensuring precise mixes every time. The Scarlett 18i8 features four of Focusrite’s best-ever third-generation mic preamps, each with an optional Air setting to emulate the iconic ISA preamp effect, giving vocals and acoustic recordings a brighter, more open sound. 

Each mic preamp includes a pad to handle higher-level signals without clipping. Additional upgrades include two extra line outputs over the previous generation, speaker-switching technology for dual-monitor setups, and two independent headphone outputs for simultaneous monitoring by engineer and artist. A pair of virtual loopback inputs makes capturing stereo feeds of hardware input and software playback effortless, ideal for podcasting, livestreaming, or sampling. Designed for durability on the road, the Scarlett 18i8 connects directly to your Mac or PC via USB and comes with a complete suite of software tools, including two comprehensive DAWs, Pro Tools Artist, and the Hitmaker Expansion. 

Focusrite has also partnered with Splice to offer a free 3-month Splice Sounds subscription, providing millions of royalty-free loops, one-shots, and presets for all your creative projects. As with all Focusrite products, the Scarlett 18i8 includes a three-year warranty and award-winning customer support.

Get the Scarlett 18i8 today at Sadek Music and take your recordings to a professional level, whether in the studio or on the move.

High channel count. Small footprint. Whatever you’re recording, wherever you are, take your whole studio with you. 18i8 is studio sound for the whole band. The four 3rd Generation Scarlett mic preamps sound great straight out of the box. Air mode recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres and makes vocals and guitars shine. The high-impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs are great for recording guitar or bass without clipping, while our iconic Gain Halos make it easy to set input levels fast. Four balanced outputs with Anti Thump speaker switching are hum-free for pristine monitoring and are ideal as FX sends. Two powerful headphone outputs with individual level controls let you monitor, mix and master however you want. Loopback makes streaming and sampling simple.
