Two Channel USB Audio Interface For Artists And Creators
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen is a professional 2-in, 2-out USB audio interface built for artists, producers, and songwriters who demand studio-quality sound in an easy-to-use format. Featuring two ultra-low-noise mic preamps, high-performance converters, and instrument-ready Hi-Z inputs, the Scarlett 2i2 ensures clear, detailed recordings every time. With advanced features like Auto Gain, Clip Safe, and Air processing modes, the 2i2 provides the confidence and flexibility to capture your best performances with precision.
Detailed Mic Preamps With Wide Gain Range
Equipped with Scarlett’s latest generation of mic preamps, the 2i2 offers 69 dB of gain to bring out the full character of any microphone. These preamps deliver clean, transparent sound with minimal noise, ensuring your vocals and instruments are captured with clarity and depth. Combined with Focusrite’s proven engineering, the result is a professional recording experience trusted by musicians around the world.
Auto Gain And Clip Safe For Perfect Levels
The 2i2’s Auto Gain function automatically sets the ideal recording level for your input, while Clip Safe monitors your performance in real time, adjusting levels to prevent distortion. These tools work together to protect your takes from clipping, saving valuable time during tracking and ensuring consistently polished recordings.
Hi-Z Inputs For Guitar And Line Inputs For Keys And Synths
On the front panel, the 2i2 provides two Hi-Z instrument inputs designed to replicate the response of plugging directly into an amplifier. Electric guitars, bass, and acoustic-electrics sound authentic when recorded directly into the interface. In addition, line-level inputs capture the true character of synthesizers, keyboards, and other outboard gear with accuracy and balance.
Air Modes For Console Inspired Tone
The Scarlett 2i2 includes two Air modes to shape your recordings with classic analog-style character. Presence mode boosts high frequencies, bringing out brightness and detail, while Harmonic Drive enhances midrange harmonics, adding warmth and punch to your sound. These modes provide creative options that make vocals, guitars, and instruments stand out in the mix.
Studio Grade Converters And Software Bundle
With a massive 120 dB dynamic range, the Scarlett 2i2’s converters are the same design used in Focusrite’s flagship RedNet systems, delivering professional-grade fidelity. To get you started, the interface comes bundled with Pro Tools Intro+, Ableton Live Lite, six months of FL Studio Producer Edition, and the Hitmaker Expansion pack. This package includes premium plugins and instruments from industry-leading brands, giving you everything needed to record and produce complete tracks.
Headphone Monitoring And Remote Control Options
The 2i2’s headphone amplifier drives high-impedance headphones with ease, delivering loud, clear, and accurate monitoring. Independent controls for monitor speakers and headphones allow flexible workflow options during recording and mixing. With Focusrite Control 2 software, you can configure and manage your interface directly from your computer, and pair with iOS or Android devices for convenient remote control of settings.
