Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen — High-Fidelity Audio Interface for Recording, Songwriting, Streaming and Podcasting

The Scarlett 2i2, the third-generation audio interface, is the most popular choice among artists across all genres. It provides two mic/line/instrument inputs, enabling simultaneous recording and playback of up to two channels with independently controllable headphone and monitor outputs.

Equipped with upgraded third-generation Scarlett mic preamps, the 2i2 offers an optional Air setting that reproduces the Air effect of Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp, resulting in brighter and more open-sounding vocal and acoustic recordings. The interface features high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, ensuring the same professional sound quality found throughout the third-generation range.

The high-impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs allow for the recording of guitar or bass without any clipping or unwanted distortion. The Gain Halo metering ensures easy input level adjustment. Designed to withstand the rigors of the road, the Scarlett 2i2 connects directly to your Mac or PC via USB cable, requiring no external power.
