The third-generation Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 boasts the expandability of audio interfaces more than twice its price, making it a compelling choice for growing home studios.
One major blow to the 18i20’s potential flexibility that reflects its midrange price point is its lack of dedicated converters for its two headphone outputs. Each pair of headphones connected to the interface’s front panel disables a pair of stereo outputs on the rear of the 18i20, which means that using two pairs of headphones will knock down the interface’s number of usable line outputs from eight to four.
Focusrite has upgraded the preamps on the Scarlett line for its third generation with all-new “Air” settings that aim to recreate the rich, open high-frequency response of the company’s standalone ISA preamps.
Because I had the unique opportunity to make a direct A-to-B comparison of the 18i20 to my Apollo x8, it was easier than normal to perceive their subtle sonic differences. The 18i20 records at the same resolution as the Apollo x8, but its built-in preamps and converters render a recording of the same input material that might be described as sounding “smoother.” This is neither good nor bad; the recording captured by the Apollo x8 simply sounded more true-to-life in terms of sheer detail.
Pound for pound, the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 holds its own against USB audio interfaces that cost significantly more—an impressive feat of technology that would have been unheard of just a couple of decades ago.
