Focusrite has released a firmware update for the Scarlett 4th Gen audio interface, bringing 16 channels of Adat I/O, monitor grouping and remote Multichannel Auto Gain available via an update via the Focusrite Control 2 app.
Scarlett 18i20 now features 16 channels of Adat I/O, allowing users to expand from eight inputs and outputs to a total of 16 additional inputs and outputs at 44.1/48kHz over Adat enabling – a total of 24 inputs and 28 outputs for live sessions, large recordings and I/O-heavy setups
Monitor groups are now available across Scarlett 16i16, 18i16 and 18i20 interfaces, simplifying multi-speaker configurations, including 2.1 and 5.1 surround sound set-ups. This enhancement gives users greater control over their monitoring workflow, making it easier to switch between different loudspeaker sets.
For Scarlett 18i20 users, Multichannel Auto Gain is now accessible via the Focusrite Control 2 mobile app, allowing users to adjust input levels remotely, eliminating the need for frequent trips to the computer and keeping the focus on the performance.
Users can access the new update by connecting their Scarlett interface to a computer and updating to the latest version of Focusrite Control 2.
