Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd gene

USB

Product details

Scarlett 2i2 is a compact and versatile USB audio interface with two inputs and two outputs. Thanks to its natural sounding Scarlett preamps and the excellent digital converters used in all Scarlett interfaces,
2i2 is the ideal solution for all singer/songwriters. The compact design ensures that the interface can be used anywhere, especially since the power supply is conveniently provided directly via USB. All you have to do is plug in your microphone and guitar and start recording.

Record in good studio quality and with the sound you want. Connect microphones, guitars and line signals to the two inputs. The natural-sounding Scarlett microphone preamps with 48V phantom power and redesigned instrument inputs give you the flexibility you need.

Don't let your interface restrict you. Scarlett 2i2 gives you a whole new way to record that no other interface in its class offers. Above all, you can use your plug-ins, such as guitar amp simulations or reverb for vocals, depending on your software settings and computer, to record in real time.

Scarlett 2i2 comes with everything you need to compose, record, edit and export music. Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools | First Focusrite Creative Pack are included. There are also 12 different plug-ins, including the amp simulation Eleven Lite for real guitar amp emulations and Black Opt for cult distortion and overdrive sounds.

Softube's Time and Tone bundle and Focusrite's Red plug-in suite are also included, as is Novation's Bass Station virtual synthesizer and 2 GB of samples from Loopmasters. Scarlett 2i2 works seamlessly with all major DAWs on PC and Mac. The included software is not only suitable for beginners in recording, also professionals will appreciate the extensive offer.

Scarlett 2i2 is compact, rugged and fully USB-powered, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Ideal for recording and performing at almost any location. Now you can record your musical ideas right away.

Scarlett 2i2's instrument inputs have been redesigned to provide more than enough headroom to handle even the hottest pick-up signals without unwanted distortion or clipping.

The current generation of Scarlett is packed with improvements. The interface works with sample rates up to 192 kHz and super-low latency. This makes it possible to record and listen directly in the software using plug-in effects in real time.

In addition, the instrument inputs have been completely reworked so that they can now work with the loudest guitar signals. All analog inputs and outputs are equipped with a new protection circuit that protects the interface from unwanted current peaks.

The conversion of audio signals from the analog to the digital level and back is one of the most important parts of the recording process. We've been building converters for over 20 years - and you can hear it all. Scarlett 2i2 also uses converters that are among the best in their class.

You can hear the difference. Every recording you make sounds clear and clean, even when the signals are low. So you can also amplify the quiet passages of a piece without unwanted background noise.
