Focusrite's Scarlett series has been one of the most popular audio interfaces on the market for years, and now with the new 4th gen series they have outdone themselves once again. With a compact and intuitive design and high quality components, they bring studio quality audio just to your bedroom or home studio.
The 2i2 is the ideal interface for anyone getting started recording microphones, guitars or other instruments. The 2 microphone inputs provide more than enough gain to record your fancy studio microphones cleanly. The input can also be switched to Hi-z to plug in an electric guitar or bass directly.

Studio-quality sound
Focusrite has made great strides in the development of this generation of Scarlett's and has set a new bar for entry-level audio interfaces. The 4th-generation pre-amps deliver 69dB of clean gain with a clear, detailed sound that would really do nice microphones or instruments justice, and Focusrite's acclaimed Air Mode adds an extra dimension with added high-end presence and harmonic-rich drive reminiscent of a top-of-the-line studio console. The hi-Z inputs are tailor-made for electric guitarists and provide an amp-like feel guaranteed to inspire. The new Scarlett features studio-quality AD/DA converters sourced from Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces, providing you with crystal-clear sound and an impressive 120dB dynamic range.
Advanced features
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is packed with useful features. Auto Gain optimizes your recording levels at the touch of a button, while Clip Safe automatically adjusts your gain level if you're at risk of clipping. The 2i2 includes dynamic gain halos on the front panel to check your input and output signal levels at a glance. Using headphones with this audio interface is a pleasure thanks to the powerful, specially designed headphone amplifier, which includes independent level control for loud, clear, accurate monitoring and playback. The 2i2's Easy Start feature guides novice users through setup and provides recording tips and other useful information. You also get loopback functionality, so you can route stereo audio from music apps directly to your DAW via virtual inputs.
