From Focusrite

Scarlett 18i20 is the ultimate studio hub for demanding project studios. Fully equipped with 18 inputs and 20 outputs, including eight of our most detailed ultra-low-noise mic preamps, line, Hi-Z, and MIDI connections for your drums, vocals, guitars, keys, and synths. Focusrite Control 2 provides flexible routing and mixing options, allowing you to customise 18i20's independent outputs to suit the needs of any recording session. Expand and sync your setup with ADAT, S/PDIF, and Word Clock connections.

Air mode, with Presence and Harmonic Drive, brings the sound of big studio consoles to your recordings, while Auto Gain and Clip Safe ensure you never worry about levels. Low-latency monitoring, A/B speaker switching, and a built-in talkback mic are perfect for serious project studios. The Hitmaker Expansion software bundle has all the tools you need to record, produce, and release your tracks. And the Focusrite Control 2 desktop and mobile apps enable you to remotely control your Scarlett anywhere in the studio.
