## Long description

The Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (rackmount) is a USB Type-C audio interface designed for engineers and producers who need extensive I/O and professional-quality conversion. It provides eight ultra-low-noise mic preamps, line and instrument inputs, MIDI, S/PDIF and ADAT expandability, plus 26 inputs and 26 outputs in total. The interface supports up to 24-bit/192 kHz operation and includes Word Clock output for external sync.
Advantages
Scarlett’s 4th-Generation remote-controlled preamps deliver transparent, detailed sound with up to 69 dB of gain range and built-in Air modes for console-style presence and harmonic enhancement. Auto Gain and Clip Safe simplify level setting and protect takes from clipping. Dual ADAT and S/PDIF expandability increase channel count, while two high-performance headphone amps, independent outputs and alt-monitor switching provide flexible monitoring and routing. The unit includes software bundles and remote control via Focusrite Control 2 for streamlined workflow.
Suitable for
Recording full bands and multi-microphone drum sessions
Tracking multiple hardware synths and line-level instruments
Home and project studios needing high channel counts and low-noise preamps
MIDI sequencing and integration with external MIDI gear

How to use
Connect the Scarlett 18i20 to your computer via USB Type-C and install Focusrite Control 2 to configure routing, levels and monitor mixes. Plug microphones into the eight XLR mic preamps, connect instruments to the Hi‑Z inputs or line sources to the line inputs, and use ADAT or S/PDIF to expand channel count if needed. Use the Focusrite Control 2 app on desktop or mobile to remotely adjust preamp gain, enable Air modes, set Auto Gain or Clip Safe, and create independent headphone mixes. Use the Word Clock output to sync compatible external devices.
Usage recommendations
For multi-microphone sessions, set Auto Gain for an initial level and enable Clip Safe to preserve takes. Use Presence or Harmonic Drive Air modes sparingly to suit the instrument or vocal, and add ADAT expansion when you need additional simultaneous inputs while maintaining optimal sample rates.
