Focusrite announced its second generation of Scarlett USB audio interfaces, which the British company says is its most popular range of products and one of the most sold range of audio interfaces in the world. The second generation Scarlett is now “better, faster and easier,” as Focusrite explains. While the I/O count of every interface remains the same, the new Scarlett audio interfaces deliver Focusrite’s fastest USB performance yet, with roundtrip latency measurements as low as 2.74ms at 96kHz.

Focusrite is now shipping new Dante-based networked audio interfaces including the RedNet MP8R 8-Channel Remote-Controlled Mic Pre; D16R AES Interface; HD32R HD Bridge for Pro Tools; and D64R MADI Bridge, all now with power supply and Ethernet redundancy. The British company is also promoting new RedNet turnkey DAW bundle solutions.

In order to increase the value proposition for its Duet, Quartet and Ensemble interfaces, Apogee has now partnered with Waves to include complete Silver and Gold plug-in collections for anyone who purchases those systems. Anyone evaluating their options in terms of audio recording interfaces for Mac will need to consider this.
