Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 2nd Gen Focusrite

Ideal for multi-instrumentalists, producers and small bands
Our latest generation 6-in, 6-out USB audio interface is perfect for anybody who wants more than two analogue inputs: multi-instrumentalists, producers, recording artists, and small bands who want to record vocals, guitar and keyboards simultaneously. It gives you four analogue inputs with two Scarlett mic preamps, four analogue outputs and two separate headphone outputs, so you can give different headphone mixes to different artists, or an engineer and an artist.

Focusrite interfaces are perfect partners for Pro Tools, so

Scarlett 6i6 comes with Pro Tools | First – Focusrite Creative Pack, as well as Ableton Live Lite recording software and a suite of software and samples, so you can start recording straight away. As you’d expect, it works with all major DAWs on Mac and PC.

Sound Like You
Backed by 30 years of design experience, these two Scarlett preamps offer a pristine and natural sound, with 48V phantom power, superior linear gain, low noise, low distortion and dynamic range that is unrivalled in this class.

Be Ready For Anything

Need to record vocals, guitars and bass together? You need Scarlett 18i8. It gives you twice as many preamps as Scarlett 6i6 and 18 separate inputs, so you can be ready for anything.

Separate Headphones

Two separate headphone outputs let you give two artists (or an engineer and artist) their own headphones and monitoring settings.

You also get four balanced outputs so you can connect two sets of monitors, or send audio to an effects processor.

Effects In Real Time
An unrivalled round-trip latency as low as 2.74ms* lets you do things that are simply impossible with most other USB interfaces (subject to your software, settings and computer). You can work entirely inside your DAW for both overdubbing and playback, and use your favourite plugins while recording – whether it’s reverb on a vocal, a guitar amp simulator, or even virtual instruments live on stage. You’ll also get the best out of vocal performances, by applying real-time comfort reverb to headphones.

Intuitive Control Software
Scarlett 6i6 works with all major DAWs on Mac and PC, and comes with Focusrite Control: our brand new software mixer designed for easily configuring your monitoring and routing setups. Simple and intuitive to use, it gives you a traditional mixer workflow and immediate access to internal hardware functions.
