Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB Audio Interface with Hi-Z Instrument, Loopback, and Air Mode

With a remarkable 69 dB gain range, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen USB Audio Interface offers superb clarity and detail for recording. You can easily connect an electric guitar to one of the Hi-Z instrument inputs, simulating using an amp, or you may use the excellent, high-quality line inputs to connect keyboards, synths, and groove boxes. The Scarlett 2i2 employs superior studio-grade converters with a 120dB dynamic range, which are comparable to those in Focusrite's RedNet interfaces, which are the industry standard for high-end studios all over the world. The interface also has an Air Mode that gives singers and instruments a high-end presence and a rich harmonic drive. This model has the appearance of a large studio console. Numerous user-friendly features are included with the Scarlett 2i2, including Auto Gain, which, when activated and played for ten seconds, automatically establishes the ideal recording level. During your recording session, the Clip Safe function simulates the help of a professional engineer by adjusting the gain to prevent clipping. Hardware features like Dynamic Gain Halos make it simple to watch input and output signals. Excellent playback and monitoring with any headphones is made possible by the potent, specially developed headphone amp with independent volume control. By utilizing Scarlett's virtual inputs, Loopback enables you to easily create bespoke audio samples from the sound output of your computer. With Focusrite's Easy Start feature, recording setup is a breeze. The interface also includes the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle, which offers a variety of studio tools for record-making, together with all the necessary applications, such as Ableton Live Lite and Avid Pro Tools Artist. Using Focusrite Control 2, you may direct control your recording session from your PC or Mac.

The Interface for Artists

The 4th-Generation preamps from 2i2 are Scarlett's clearest and most detailed yet, with a massive 69 dB gain range. Set up mics for your voice and guitar and connect them into the preamps. An electric guitar connected to one of the 2i2's hi-Z instrument inputs will sound exactly like an amp. Wherever you compose music, Scarlett brings Focusrite's expert sound quality with you.
