## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this usb 3 or still usb 2.0?**
A: USB 2.0. Focusrite states the following on their website: "...although USB 3.0 offers greater bandwidth than USB 2.0, it will deliver no round trip latency benefits over USB 2.0 ... for our largest channel count USB audio interface, the Scarlett 18i20, USB 2.0 provides more than enough bandwidth for delivering 18 channels of audio inputs and 20 channels of audio outputs simultaneously."

**Q: What's better. This or the presonus 1818vsl**
