General

Fully equipped to serve as the ultimate central hub for all-round project studios, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 interface supplies eighteen inputs and twenty outputs and features eight ultra-low latency microphone preamps. The versatile array of connection options on offer include line, Hi-Z and MIDI ports, setting this interface up to record everything from full drum kits to vocals and from guitars to keyboards and synthesizers. The range can even be expanded via the fitted ADAT, S/PDIF and Word Clock ports, all to support a flexible and more complex workflow.

Custom Monitor Mixing Plus Auto Gain & Clip Safe Tech

By combining this extensive audio interface with the Focusrite Control 2 software, the routing and mixing can customised, so you can create tailor-made monitor mixes for your recording artists and send signals directly out to any outboard gear. The built-in Air mode, together with the Presence and Harmonic Drive functions, give recordings the rich sound you'd only expect from professional consoles and, thanks to further handy features like Auto Gain and Clip Safe technology, this audio interface automatically adjusts and sets the microphone preamp levels for you, reducing the risk of clipping and retaining the integrity of every single take.

Low-Latency Monitoring & A/B Monitor Switching

The Scarlett 18i20 also boasts low-latency monitoring, A/B monitor switching and comes with a built-in talkback microphone, easing comms with the live room. With the help of powerful headphone amplifiers and a complete Hitmaker Expansion package that comes crammed with popular recording software, users are granted access to every tool needed to produce and polish off professional tracks. To finish, the option to manage audio settings from a distance using the Focusrite Control 2 app helps to fully streamline the entire recording and mixing process.

Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen Audio Interface

Ik heb de Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Gen 4 nu een tijdje in mijn studio staan en ik ben echt onder de indruk van deze interface. Ik zocht een betrouwbare hub om een complete band en uitgebreide drumkits tegelijk op te kunnen nemen, en op dat vlak stelt dit apparaat absoluut niet teleur.

Pluspunten:De geluidskwaliteit is fantastisch. De nieuwe voorversterkers klinken ontzettend helder en hebben met 69 dB meer dan genoeg power om zelfs de meest veeleisende microfoons zonder ruis open te gooien.

De functies Auto Gain en Clip Safe zijn voor mij echte life-savers. De interface stelt de volumes binnen een paar seconden zelf perfect af en grijpt meteen in als het geluid dreigt te oversturen. Dat geeft veel rust tijdens het opnemen.

Het overschakelen tussen twee sets monitorspeakers gaat super simpel met de knoppen op de voorkant. Ook de ingebouwde talkback-microfoon is ideaal om snel met muzikanten in de opnameruimte te communiceren.

Minpunten: Het is in het begin wel even wennen dat de voorkant geen aparte fysieke draaiknoppen meer heeft voor elk afzonderlijk ingangskanaal. Je moet nu eerst het kanaal selecteren met een drukknop voordat je het volume kunt aanpassen, wat tijdens het live werken soms net een handeling te veel is.

Er zitten geen ingebouwde DSP-effecten op de hardware zelf. Als ik direct galm of compressie op de koptelefoonmix van een zanger wil zetten, moet ik dat via mijn opnamesoftware regelen.

Al met al is dit echt een geweldige upgrade voor mijn studio. Het apparaat is super betrouwbaar en biedt precies de flexibiliteit en professionele audiokwaliteit die ik nodig heb voor grotere meersporenopnames waarvoor ik hem ook gebruik in combinatie met 2 oude MOTU 8pre's gekoppeld met de ADAT aansluitingen.

Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 4th Gen Audio Interface

Het apparaat zelf voldoet aan de verwachting. Minpunt is de ondermaatse kwaliteit van de meegeleverde voedingskabel. Bij licht aanraken van de eurostekker valt het apparaat uit.
