Focusrite 's Scarlett range has a long history and the Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen interface continues to perpetuate this reputation by showcasing all its qualities. Designed by Focusrite, the Scarlett 8i6 is the most popularaudio interface for artists. The third-generation Scarlett 8i6 features eight inputs and six outputs for simultaneous recording of microphones, instruments, synths and drum machines with maximum audio quality. It also features two independent high-fidelity headphone outputs with dedicated volume control for flexibility during recording and mixing.

With two enhanced third-generation Scarlett mic preamps and an optional "Air" setting to reproduce Focusrite's famous Air effect, this Scarlett 8i6 interface lets you record your instruments and vocals with the clearest sound. Equipped with high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AN-DA converters, the Scarlett 8i6 interface delivers excellent professional sound quality. High-impedance instrument inputs with plenty of headroom allow you to record guitar or bass without clipping or unwanted distortion, while meters make it easy to adjust input levels. A pair of virtual loopback inputs allows you to capture a stereo stream of any combination of hardware inputs and software playback channels. This makes podcasting, live streaming and sampling much easier.

The Scarlett 8i6 is a robust interface that connects directly to your Mac or PC via USB cable, with no external power supply required. It comes with a full suite of all the software you need to get started, including Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools First Focusrite Creative Pack.
