Equipped with high performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, the Scarlett 18i20 gets you professional sound quality with it's improved A-D and D-A conversion, ensuring your recording quality is the best it can be.

With an incredible 18 inputs and 20 outputs in total, the 18i20 ensures your recordings and playback will be clear and pronounced no matter what you're recording. There's a Pad option on every mic preamp to accommodate higher level signals without clipping as well as two front panel high-headroom instrument inputs that let you record guitars and basses without any clipping or unwanted distortion.
A pair of virtual loopback inputs let you capture a stereo feed of any combination of hardware input and software playback channels, which makes it a doddle to podcast, live stream as well as assisting in sampling tasks. Speaker switching technology allows you to switch between main and alt monitors to get a fresh take on your mix, and a new built-in talkback mic lets you communicate with your artists at the touch of a button to assist in getting that perfect take.
