Overview
Scarlett 8i6 USB Audio/MIDI Interface (3rd Generation)
Plug in and produce. All your instruments, all the time. 8i6 is studio sound for all your hardware.
The two 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.
Key Features:
- Six inputs and four outputs; two 3rd Generation mic pres, switchable to line or Hi-Z instrument inputs, four fixed line inputs, and four balanced outputs.
- Air Mode breathes life into vocals and acoustic instruments.
- 24-bit/192 kHz converters deliver studio-quality sound.
- Gain Halos make setting levels simple.
- Two powerful headphone outputs with independent level controls.
Four balanced outputs 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. And it comes with some of the best-loved tools in the business, including Ableton Live Lite, Avid Pro Tools Artist and Hitmaker Expansion – with plugins from legendary Auto-Tune creators Antares, Brainworx, Softube, Landr, XLN Audio, Relab and more.
