Enhance your sound with Air mode
Re-engineered Air mode takes your sound's unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding musical presence or rich harmonic drive to vocals and acoustic instruments; replicating the sound of driving a classic studio console.
Auto Gain: Work faster
Designed to assist engineers of all levels, Auto Gain sets the optimal recording levels for any inputs in just a few seconds, getting you ready to record in moments. For more complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on the interface or through the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop applications.
Clip Safe: Never lose a take
With Clip Safe actively monitoring levels up to 96,000 times per second, Scarlett 16i16 automatically adjusts gain to prevent clipping so you avoid introducing any unwanted artifacts from hard limiting. Never miss a crucial take, especially in high-pressure recording environments such as live shows and location recordings.
Easy control with desktop and mobile app
Use the software, Focusrite Control 2, to manage routing and levels, monitor mixes, and control other features of Scarlett 16i16. The desktop software, plus apps for iOS and Android, enable engineers and performers to adjust monitor mixes and multiple mic pre gains remotely -- especially useful in live rooms.
