SCARLETT 18I20 4G + RCXFM10P-R

This bundle pairs the Scarlett 18i20 with a 10' Rockville XLR cable, so the first mic in a new project studio is ready to connect the moment the interface is unboxed. The 18i20 brings 18 inputs and 20 outputs, eight 4th-generation mic preamps at 69dB of gain, and 24-bit, 192kHz converters with 122dB of dynamic range, giving plenty of room to add more mics and outboard gear as a setup grows.

The included RCXFM10P-R cable runs 100% oxygen-free copper conductors under a 90% copper shield, keeping the signal clean between a mic and the interface's preamps over its full 10' length. On the interface side, Auto Gain sets usable levels on multiple mics in seconds, and Clip Safe checks levels up to 96,000 times a second to catch clipping before a take is lost. Air mode adds classic console character to vocals and acoustic guitars, and Focusrite Control 2 manages routing and monitor mixes from a desktop or mobile app. Ableton Live Lite, a three-month Pro Tools Artist subscription, and a bundle of mixing plugins ship with the interface for finishing a track after tracking wraps.
