The fourth-generation Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB audio interface is designed to deliver premium sound in a compact, easy-to-carry and easy-to-use form factor for singer-songwriters, guitarists and podcaster duos.
The two upgraded Scarlett microphone preamps feature switchable phantom power for condenser microphones and a channel-selectable Air circuit, which adds clarity-enhancing brightness based on Focusrite's legendary ISA preamp. The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs are equipped with switches that allow them to accept signal directly from electric instruments such as guitar and bass or from line-level sources such as stereo mixer outputs or a hot feed from a drum machine.
The 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA converters, which allow recording at standard CD quality or high-fidelity resolutions, ensure that signals are captured and reproduced with detail and accuracy. Listen through headphones or connect powered speakers to the 1/4" balanced monitor outputs, and enjoy independent control of headphone and speaker volume settings. Use selectable mono or stereo direct monitoring to hear the live input signal without annoying echoes or latency.
With the Scarlett 2i2 Easy Start tool and independent gain knobs with multicolor gain halo meters, you'll have no trouble setting and dialing in the perfect levels. Plus, there are no complicated menus or controls to slow you down.
With its bus power for uninhibited portability, space-saving USB Type-C connection and comprehensive software package, including elementary versions of Ableton Live and Avid Pro Tools music production workstations, virtual instruments, plug-in effects, loops and more, the Scarlett 2i2 gives you plenty of powerful tools to get your inspiration going; just connect the Scarlett 2i2 to your Mac/Windows computer or iPad Pro, fire up your favorite audio recording software and let the creativity flow.
