Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 (3rd Generation)

The third-gen Scarlett 18i8 from Focusrite equips your home studio with powerful features for making clean-sounding recordings. This latest generation of Scarlett interfaces has better microphone preamps than ever — each one has a selectable "Air" mode that simulates the classic Focusrite mic preamps used in AIR Studios for better top-end detail and spaciousness.
