Features:
Two high-quality award-winning Focusrite preamps: The best sounding interface in its class. Focusrite's 25-year legacy forms the foundation of this new interface, with two award-winning preamps.
High-quality 24-bit/96kHz USB interface: Features professional conversion and jitter reduction technology, guaranteeing pristine audio quality and reliable synchronization.
Total I/O count of 8 inputs and 6 outputs: A host of I/O options are provided*, including a unique Loopback facility for routing audio between software applications via Scarlett MixControl.
Scarlett MixControl ultra-low-latency DSP mixer/router: Provides an 18 x 6 DSP mixer with excellent routing flexibility, intuitive one-click configurations, and lower than 1.4ms latency (less than the time it takes sound to travel two feet through air!).
Scarlett VST/AU/RTAS Plug-in Suite, for use in the mix: Upgrade your standard sequencer effects and bring a touch of class to your session with Focusrite’s Scarlett compression, reverb, gating and EQ.
Xcite+ Software Bundle: Featuring a host of royalty-free loops and samples, a full-fledged soft-synth and Ableton Live Lite 8, providing an affordable upgrade path to Ableton Live.
Two Hi-Z instrument inputs: No need for a separate DI. The first two channels feature high-gain instrument inputs.
Dedicated front-panel headphone bus: Providing a fully customised monitor mix, with tactile level control available on the front panel.
Monitor levels are always within reach: A front panel volume dial provides immediate control over the main stereo outputs.
Switchable phantom power: Across both mic pre inputs, globally switchable direct from the front fascia.
Software PFL: Allows the mix engineer to easily monitor a single mixer channel or complete mix.
