Product information - Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 3rd Generation

High-quality & reworked audio interface of the third Scarlett generation

Focusrite 's Scarlett 8i6 USB audio interface is the third in a series of improvements to every aspect of the interface. For musicians and producers looking to expand their setups and need a few extra connections, this interface provides a reassuringly simple recording process and, thanks to powerful AD-DA converters ( 24-bit/192kHz), offers professional sound quality that's worth listening to. The combo jacks (XLR/jack) provide plenty of resistance and headroom and are ideal for recording guitars, basses, vocals and more without overdriving or distorting, while the gain halos make it easy to see the input level. The four balanced outputs are hum-free when connected to balanced studio monitor inputs, ensuring perfect audio reproduction. But what exactly is the difference between the third and the previous generation?

New features

In general, all users of the Scarlett series benefit from improved audio performance. The 3rd generation Scarlett microphone preamps are currently the Scarlett preamps with the best sound. They deliver not only high gain but also low noise levels for stereo recording at high demands. Also, the industry-leading 24-bit/192 kHz AD-DA converters take performance to a new level, guaranteeing clearer sound with more punch across all frequencies.

"Air" - high-end sound at the touch of a button

The revamped mic preamps can emulate the Air effect of Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp at Bedadrf, giving your vocal and acoustic recordings a more transparent sound.

Interactive introduction

On board is a so-called QuickStart tool from Focusrite, which guides the customer through the registration and setup of software and drivers.

USB driver with even lower latency

Latency is one of the most common problems when recording, so the USB drivers have been reworked once again. Now songs can be recorded and played back in real time, while at the same time even more plug-ins can be switched on than before.

A software package to be proud of

As with previous generations, every Scarlett product comes with a software package to get you started. This time the following goodies are included:

  • Ableton Live 10 Lite
  • Pro Tools First Focusrite Creative Pack
  • Softube's Time and Tone Bundle
  • Focusrite Red Plug-in Suite

  • Membership of the Focusrite Plug-In Collective with access to free software and exclusive offers every two months
  • 3 months free access to Splice Sounds when registering a new Splice account
  • 2 year warranty
