Focusrite Interface Lightning Power Cable

Using the 6 foot cable to power my lightning charger on my nightstand. Excellent cable.

I purchased this interface to replace an aging Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 1st gen. The feature set of the MOTU is really excellent. The meters are so nice and useful to set levels and the individual phantom power switches are much appreciated. I also like the feel of the knobs, very solid. As for the sound quality, in the headphones and with my Yamaha HS5 speakers, both are superb, low noise and clear sound. The FocusRite had a dodgy USB connection that would unload the driver if the unit was jostled but this new one uses USB-C and it is solid. The specs of this device are definitely class leading as well so I rate the product as top notch.

If you are creating podcasts, this will be the easiest setup you will have. My USB interface (Focusrite 2i2) is getting less action now because of the PodTrak. Very easy to setup, clean signal lines, easy to level and balance.

It's beautiful and sturdy. Added bonus, it is the perfect size to fit a Focusrite interface inside- makes accessing rear USB & inputs a pain but I leave everything plugged in back there now.

I am very pleased with this Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 USB 2.0 Audio Interface (wnd Generation) I am getting clean audio sounds that I always dream to get from my equipment. However, I have finally bought the right equipment to give me that studio sound I was always looking for. Thank you B&H for your recommendation. Michael Rodriquez

After using a Focusrite audio interface for years, I recently purchased the MOTU M2 in the hopes of better compatibility with Resolve on Windows. In addition to being assembled in the USA, this unit sounds incredibly clear and has a lot more gain than my old red box.

A good interface - good quality. I have one keyboard and several mics connected to the 18i8. Although the output volume seems a bit softer than my previous interface, the sound is cleaner and easy to control using the Focusrite Control software. Installation was easy on my PC. There are many plug-ins available, some free, some paid. I do not use them because I already have many such plug-ins with my DAW - but it is an option, especially if you choose to use this interface in a live performance. Overall, I would highly recommend the Focusrite Scarlett 18i8.

For the price this interface is a STEAL! Definitely worth every penny! Compared to the focusrite version of this it is basically the same it just has a slightly lower ohm impedance! But well worth it!

Ordered this because my focusrite scarlett interface had weird driver issues with windows 10 for me. Set this up in minutes and worked no problem. Also was delivered and received super fast, within 2 days.

As most of you have noticed by now, it's extremely difficult to find software drivers in an audio interface that also work with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound in Windows. Focusrite makes awesome drivers for Windows that work in both ASIO and WDM. I previously fought for over two years with an expensive Antelope Discreet 8 Synergy Core interface. Antelope's drivers on Windows are slow and unreliable AND they do not work in any way for 5.1 surround setups outside of the DAW. I consulted with the Antelope audio engineers and they said that their drivers will not work for 5.1 games or movies. I'm never buying another Antelope interface ever again! The Antelope hardware is great, but the drivers are garbage for Windows users. There's a night and day different between Antelope's drivers and Focusrite's drivers in Windows. The Focusrite Control software also searches and handles any firmware updates automatically. After you install the Focusrite Control drivers, in you Windows Sound options you can click on the Focusrite USB driver and get a Configure button at the bottom. Clicking on that Configure button takes you to the Speaker Configuration where you have the following choices: Stereo, Quadraphonic, 5.1 Surround, and 7.1 Surround. From there any games you play that have 5.1 surround like, Alien Isolation, Division 2, Tome Raider, etc. will work perfectly! Also movies going through my Cyberlink Power DVD software sound amazing! By the way, for my setup, I'm running the Scarlet 18i20 3rd Gen, two Adam A77Xs and three Adam A7Xs (looking to also get an Adam Sub8 in the near future). So if you are a 5.1 sound junky like I am, and you want your DAW, your games, and your movies to run through your audio interface with reliable drivers that just work in Windows... then you'll want to stick with Focusrite!
