The official Focusrite eBay storefront is now offering its Scarlett 18i20 Audio Interface for Mac/PC (2nd Generation) for $329.99 shipped. Originally $500, today’s deal is as much as $170 in savings, well under Amazon’s current $500+ listing and the best price we can find. If you’re looking for a serious recording upgrade for your Mac or PC system at a major discount, this is it. This model brings eight mic pre-amps along with ten 1.4-inch outputs, MIDI I/O, and recording resolutions up to 192kHz/24-bit. That’s a whole lot of interface for $330, never mind the included software. It ships with a 3-year warranty and a carries a 4+ star rating. More details below.
Now, if the 8 inputs is overkill for you or you just don’t plan on doing very much multi-track recording (multiple microphones being recorded at once), a simple 2×2 interface should do the trick. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 will work with your Mac and PC out of the box over USB and fetches $160 at Amazon where it is the best selling option and carries a 4+ star rating from over 3,200 customers.
