But what's new in the 3rd generation?

Audio performance

Focusrite has experience in making mic preamps for over 30 years, and their 3rd Gen mic pre is the best Scarlett ever had. The 24-bit/192kHz converters give your recordings clarity whilst Air mode breathes life into vocals, adding unique high-end detail.
