The Scarlett 18i20 3rd Generation audio interface also features eight of Focusrite’s best ever preamps used in the Scarlett series.

Not only do these preamps offer great audio quality but they also feature an optional Air setting.

When activated, the Air setting gives you the Air effect found on the original ISA mic preamps, adding brightness and openness to your vocal and acoustic recordings.

What’s more; each mic preamp has a pad so you can record high level signals without clipping.

In addition, you have two high-headroom instrument inputs so you can record your electric guitar or bass with no clipping or unwanted distortion – just crisp captures of the performance.

Eight balanced line inputs allow you to connect synthesizers, drum machines and other line-level sources so you’ve got no shortage of recording potential!

20 Outputs

In total, as the name suggests, the Scarlett 18i20 3rd gen has 20 outputs which give you a huge amount of options for recording and monitoring.

With its speaker-switching technology, the Scarlett 18i20 gen 3 also allows you two to switch between two different sets of monitors. This is an essential feature to ensure the best possible mix and professional level results.

With two independent headphone outputs, both the engineer and recording artist can monitor during the session.

In fact, there’s also a new built-in talkback microphone in the Scarlett 18i20’S front panel so you can easily communicate with the recording artist from behind the glass.

A pair of virtual loopback inputs are also present so you can capture the stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback which is ideal for podcasting and livestreaming.
