Working with surround sound

Because the Scarlett 18i20 is equipped with ten line outputs, it is ideally suited for use when

working in multichannel sound formats – LCRS, 5.1 surround or 7.1 surround, for example. Scarlett

MixControl’s Monitor section is pre-conﬁgured for several multichannel formats, and resetting the

monitor routing can be achieved with a few mouse clicks.

The example below shows how you would connect the six loudspeakers in a 5.1 surround monitoring

arrangement.
