Optimized third-generation technology
The 3rd-generation Focusrite Scarlett 8i6's exterior has undergone a sleek makeover. Under the hood, though, it's been tweaked and upgraded to deliver better sonics, lower latency, and enhanced ease of use. With sample rates up to 192kHz, you've got studio-grade sound you can take anywhere.
Super-low latency for better performances
You know you perform better when you've got a great-sounding monitor mix with everything you need to hear to be inspired — for example, reverb and delay on a guitar solo. The Scarlett 8i6's super-low latency lets you monitor with native plug-in effects in real time, so you can hear your parts as you envision them and record better performances.
Award-winning Focusrite preamps with Air
Focusrite's award-winning pres have proven their mettle in pro studios around the world. Focusrite ports their considerable design savvy into the transparent, low-noise, low-distortion preamps in the Scarlett 8i6.
