Manual Registration

If you decide to register your Scarlet 8i6 at a later date you can do so at

https://customer.focusrite.com/user/register. You will need to enter the Serial Number manually:

this number can be found on the base of the interface itself, and can also on the barcode label on the

side of the box.

We recommend that you download and install our Focusrite Control application, as this will disable

MSD mode and unlock the full potential of the interface. Initially, when in MSD mode, the interface

will function at sample rates up to 48 kHz. Once Focusrite Control is installed on your computer, you

can work at sample rates up to 192 kHz. If you decide not to download and install Focusrite Control

immediately, it can be downloaded at any time from:

https://customer.focusrite.com/support/downloads.

In order to force your Scarlett 8i6 out of MSD mode without ﬁrst registering it, hold down the 48V

button while disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, and then continue to hold the 48V button

for a further ﬁve seconds. This will ensure that your Scarlett 8i6 has full functionality. Please bear in

mind that should you wish to register your Scarlett 8i6 after taking this action, you will need to do so

manually, as explained above.
