Experience unparalleled clarity with 120dB of dynamic range to capture everything from a whisper to a jet engine.
Enhance Your Sound with Air Mode
Re-engineered Air mode takes your soundās unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding musical presence or rich harmonic drive to vocals and acoustic instruments; replicating the sound of driving a classic studio console.
Auto Gain: Work faster
Designed to assist engineers of all levels, Auto Gain sets the optimal recording levels for any inputs in just a few seconds, getting you ready to record in moments. For more complex setups, multi-channel Auto Gain adjusts levels for multiple microphones, either directly on the interface or through the Focusrite Control 2 mobile and desktop applications.

With Clip Safe actively monitoring levels up to 96,000 times per second, Scarlett 16i16 automatically adjusts gain to prevent clipping so you avoid introducing any unwanted artefacts from hard limiting.
