Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) inc Pro Tools First & Ableton Live Lite 2 in / 2 out USB 2.0 audio interface

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) USB 2.0 audio Interface is one of the most popular USB interfaces currently on the market. The red coloured case is made of anodised aluminum, making it sturdy to withstand life on the road. The Scarlett 2i2 features 2 inputs and 2 outputs as well as 2 high quality preamps. With the flick of the direct monitoring switch, you can hear what you are recording through your speakers or headphones without the signal having to go through your computer first. This results in zero latency so that you can focus completely on recording. Featuring a 24-bit resolution at sample rates of up to 96 kHz, it produces a very high quality digital conversion. This ensures that every note and small detail are captured with the best clarity.

Sound just like you

With Scarlett 2i2 your recordings will sound just how you want them. Two combination inputs with natural-sounding Scarlett mic preamps, line level inputs and newly-designed instrument inputs let you record anything you want. Even seriously hot guitar pick-ups. Two 1/4 inch balanced jack outputs let you connect to professional studio monitors, turn up the volume and totally immerse yourself in sound.

New Generation - Better in every way

The second generation Scarlett range is packed full of upgrades. New super-low latency* will bring confidence to your performance, letting you record and monitor with software effects in real time. New metal gain controls and a sleeker red metal chassis underscore its improved industrial design, built to go anywhere. The Scarlett range also now operates at sample rates all the way up to 192kHz, and the input channels have evolved too. The latest Scarlett mic preamp features a more even gain structure, so you can accurately set your levels, and the instrument input has also been completely redesigned so it can handle seriously hot guitar pick-ups. Finally, Focusrite have provided analogue protection circuitry across both the inputs and the outputs, to guard your interface against unwanted power surges.
