Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface (4th Generation)
16x16: Two Focusrite Preamps and Flagship RedNet Converters for Producers and Small Bands
Offering a powerful combination of high-quality sound and user-friendliness in a compact and portable format for recording, podcasting, and streaming, the Focusrite Scarlett 16i16 (4th Generation) 16-in / 16-out USB-C audio/MIDI interface lets musicians, producers, and creators capture high-quality audio with no learning curve, no matter where they go. The 4th Generation model features two ultralow-noise microphone preamps with up to 69 dB of gain to capture the full potential of your mics. The flagship, RedNet 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters provide a huge dynamic range up to 122 dB, matching the quality you'd find in a pro studio. The new Auto Gain mode automatically sets your recording level, and the Clip Safe mode automatically prevents your signal from clipping, ensuring that every take is a keeper. The Loopback feature lets podcasters, gamers, YouTubers, and streamers mix audio from other apps running on the computer. The 16i16 4th Generation works in standalone mode without a computer, useful for live performances or monitoring-only situations.
Scarlett 16i16 is the perfect hub to integrate your DAW and hardware with six analog inputs, four analog outputs, plus ADAT and S/PDIF digital I/O, and MIDI I/O to connect external instruments, processors, and effects, and manage complex routing with incredible ease via Focusrite Control 2 software. The interface comes with production software including Pro Tools Artist, Ableton Live Lite, and a suite of instruments, processors, and effects.
Portable, Bus Powered, or Standalone
- Both compact and lightweight, the Scarlett 16i16 is rugged and ready to securely stand on your desktop or travel with you. Being bus powered via USB-C connectivity, it can be used in any room or even remote locations, with your preferred DAW on a Mac/Windows computer or on an iPad Pro equipped with a USB-C port.
- The Scarlett 16i16 4th Generation can work in Standalone mode and still pass audio from the inputs to the outputs without the need for a computer. To power the unit, simply plug in the included external power supply or a separately available USB power bank using the USB-C 5V input located on the back panel.
Huge 4th-Generation 122 dB Dynamic Range
- Scarlett 16i16 4th Generation uses the same studio-grade converters as Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces, found in countless high-end studios worldwide.
- Thanks to its high-performance via 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters that deliver a huge 122 dB of dynamic range, the Scarlett 16i16 is well equipped to capture any source from vocals to acoustic and electric instruments clearly and accurately, so you don't have to worry about the interface clouding your sound.
Two 4th-Generation Mic Preamps with Air Mode
- With a huge 69 dB gain range, the two upgraded 4th-generation Scarlett XLR mic preamps capture the sound of your microphones with enhanced transparency and full detail. Switchable 48V phantom power is onboard to accommodate your favorite condenser mics.
- The preamps can be controlled remotely from your computer via the Control 2 software.
- The selectable-per-channel Air Mode brings the bright and open sonic signature of a big studio console to your microphones.
- Air Mode adds high-end presence and rich harmonic drive to vocals and instruments, reproducing the Air effect of Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp.
Two Hi-Z Instrument/Line Inputs + Four Line Inputs
- The two 1/4" inputs on the Scarlett 16i16 4th Generation's front panel are specially designed to preserve the quality of your sound when connecting instruments with high impedance (Hi-Z) like electric guitars or basses—no need for a DI box or amplifier.
- At the press of a button, each 1/4" input can be used to input line-level sources like a mixer's output or the line outs from guitar and bass amps.
- With four, additional 1/4" balanced line inputs on the back of the Scarlett 16i16, you can patch in line-level sources such as external mic preamps, an outboard mixer, or synthesizer sound modules, while leaving the front-panel inputs free for direct connection of mics, instruments, or other line-level sources.
Four Line Outputs
- Four, balanced 1/4" line outputs on the rear panel enable you to connect two different monitor setups with independent mixes or patch your favorite outboard gear and effects into your DAW.
ADAT I/O + S/PDIF I/O
- The ADAT optical I/O enables you to record and playback up to eight more channels of audio at up to 96 kHz (four channels at 192 kHz), a perfect way to pipe in an external 8-channel mic preamp with an onboard A/D converter or send tracks digitally to a headphone distribution system or digital mixer.
- The S/PDIF stereo digital I/O is great for recording the output of a digital DJ mixer or an external mic preamp outfitted with an A/D converter and S/PDIF output.

Loopback for Podcasters, Gamers, YouTubers, Streamers
- Loopback lets you record other audio sources from within your computer (e.g., the audio output from a web browser) using the Scarlett's virtual stereo inputs, which have no physical connectors on the hardware interface itself but may be selected in the DAW as signal sources.
- Podcasters can use it to record guests via video call. Gamers can record gaming audio plus a mic separately. YouTubers can record a mic over a video. You can also combine computer audio with your mic for streaming.
A/B Speaker Switching

5-Pin DIN MIDI I/O
