The most popular audio interface for artists of all genres, the third-generation Scarlett 2i2 offers dual mic/line/instrument inputs allowing simultaneous recording and playback of up to two channels with controllable headphone and monitor outputs independent.
The 2i2 features two improved third-generation Scarlett mic preamps: with the optional Air setting to replicate the Air effect of the original Focusrites ISA mic preamp, giving your vocal and acoustic recordings a clearer, more open sound.
Equipped with high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, Scarlett guarantees the same professional sound quality across the entire third generation range.
High-impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs let you record guitar or bass - without unwanted clipping or distortion, while Halo Gain metering lets you easily adjust the input level.
Scarlett 2i2 is designed to last for days on the road and connects directly to your Mac® or PC via USB cable, without external power. It comes with all the software tools you need to get started, including two complete digital audio workstations: Ableton® Live Lite™ and Pro Tools® First Focusrite Creative Pack. Intuitive enough for beginners but advanced enough to inspire real creativity with high-quality sound effects.
And as with all Focusrite products, you'll also benefit from a two-year warranty, award-winning customer support, and membership to their Plug-in Collective which offers free software downloads and generous discounts.
