The eight 3rd Generation Scarlett mic preamps sound great, with enough IO to record a full band straight out of the box. Air mode recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres and makes vocals and guitars shine.

Ten balanced outputs, with Anti Thump speaker switching, 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. Built-in talkback mic makes it easy to talk to your band during busy recording sessions. Loopback makes streaming and sampling simple.
