Thankfully I chose this wonderful unit. I have had this for more than 8 years now, and is still going strong with no issues! I use this interface with Logic Pro on Mac. Original set up and synchronizing settings with the mac was a tiny bit of a challenge, but nothing a few phone calls couldn’t fix. Once it’s all set, you are good to go! I love how easy it is to work with this interface! I mainly have 2 keyboards running stereo ( 4 cables ), a microphone recording saxophone. For outputs i have 3 sets of headphones, 2 speaker monitors, and normal Logitech speaker system with an adapter to plug into the interface! This interface runs all of that with no latency, and excellent sound quality! This is a very powerful unit, and will handle most music studio setups, whether you’re a beginner or looking to add to your collection! This is also perfect size for most studio desks, this interface can be mounted too! This is definitely best bang for the buck! Im hoping to get another 8+ years out of this! Once this one is done, I will buy another. Review: Best 8-mic interface out there - Fantastic audio interface, great sounding preamps and high quality signal processing. For the price, you won't find a better 8 mic pre interface. Perfect for budget home studios trying to break into live drum tracking. High quality build too, it's quite heavy and durable for those who would bring it out to practice spaces or mobile studio owners. ## Features - 18 audio inputs and 20 audio outputs; Ten line outputs, MIDI I/O, S/PIDF I/O, and Word Clock Out - Eight specially-designed Scarlett Mic Pres with 48V phantom power, low noise, plenty of gain, and and switchable pads - ADAT ports for expanding up to 16 analog inputs and 18 analog outputs - Sample rates of up to 24-bit/192kHz and over 106 dB of dynamic range - Includes Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, Softube Time and Tone Plug-In Bundle w/Brand new Focusrite Control software ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01E6T54KQ | | Audio Input | XLR, 3_5mm_trs | | Best Sellers Rank | #199,054 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1,289 in Computer Recording Audio Interfaces | | Brand | Focusrite | | Brand Name | Focusrite | | Compatible Devices | Headphone, Microphone, Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 162 Reviews | | Frequency Response | 192000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00815301008446 | | Item Type Name | Audio Interface | | Item Weight | 7.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Focusrite/Novation | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Number of Channels | 18 | | Operating System | Windows, iOS, macOS | | Supported Software | Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, Softube Time and Tone Plug-In Bundle, Focusrite Control software | | UPC | 714573529539 632317247931 714573525111 815301008446 714573527092 709257600369 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 years. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Focusrite - **Compatible Devices:** Headphone, Microphone, Personal Computer - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Number of Channels:** 18 - **Supported Software:** Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite, Softube Time and Tone Plug-In Bundle, Focusrite Control software ## Images ![18i20 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CFk739p6L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this usb 3 or still usb 2.0?** A: USB 2.0. Focusrite states the following on their website: "...although USB 3.0 offers greater bandwidth than USB 2.0, it will deliver no round trip latency benefits over USB 2.0 ... for our largest channel count USB audio interface, the Scarlett 18i20, USB 2.0 provides more than enough bandwidth for delivering 18 channels of audio inputs and 20 channels of audio outputs simultaneously." **Q: What's better. This or the presonus 1818vsl** A: Focusrite is far superior to the Presonus in technology and technical support in our opinion. We changed from the Presonus to the Focusrite and have never looked back. **Q: Will this work with a 2009 mac os x yosemite 10.10.5?** A: Hello, Yes, according to Focusrite's website, this will work with OS X 10.10.

My son has been making drum covers as of late and with 8 channels the Scarlett handles everything very well. He's using it with a newer Mac mini and Logic Pro X and the quality of the recordings have been pretty stunning. ## Frequently Bought Together - Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (2nd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools | First, 18i20 - 8 Mic Pres (AMS-SCARLETT-18I20-2ND-GE) - Shure SM57 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone - Professional Studio & Live Performance Cardioid Mic for Instruments, Recording for Drums, Percussion, & Instrument Amplifier Miking (SM57-LC) - Amazon Basics Adjustable Boom Arm Height Microphone Stand with Tripod Base, Up to 85.75 Inches - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/29181719-18i20](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/29181719-18i20) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
