Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 2nd Gen

USB

Product details

The compact and flexible USB audio interface with 2 inputs and 4 outputs is well suited for performing and recording in studio quality - including cue mix option. Take the interface with you wherever you
go, plug it in via USB and use the two high-quality Scarlett microphone preamps. Scarlett 2i4 works with a very low latency, offers one MIDI input and output and four analog outputs.

With Scarlett 2i4, you can make high-quality studio recordings that sound just like you. The two microphone preamps have a particularly natural sound characteristic. Both combination inputs have 48 volt phantom power and a super linear gain curve. Of course, you can also record line signals or use the newly developed instrument inputs, which can handle even the loudest guitar pickups.

With four analog outputs, MIDI interface and cue mix option, Scarlett 2i4 is ideal for live performances. It also has a headphone output, two balanced outputs, and four RCA outputs that you can use for speakers or an external mixer, for example.

A super low round-trip latency ensures that your workflows can change completely. Thanks to this super-low latency, you can now really work completely within your DAW, both during playback and overdubs. Most importantly, depending on your software settings and computer, you can use your plug-ins in real time as you record. You'll be surprised what good vocal recordings you can suddenly make when you can put a good plug-in reverb on artists' headphone signals in real time during recording.

Scarlett 2i4 comes with everything you need to record. The package includes unlimited-time versions of Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools | First Focusrite Creative Pack. 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. Of course, Scarlett 2i4 works seamlessly with all major DAWs on PC and Mac.

Scarlett 2i4 is compact, rugged and completely powered via USB. It fits in your pocket and is ideal for recording and performing in almost any location.

The current generation of Scarlett 2i4 is packed with improvements. The interface works with sample rates up to 192 kHz and super-low latency. This makes it possible to record directly in the software, listen to it and use plug 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.
