Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming and Podcasting

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

The 2i2 features two upgraded third-generation Scarlett mic preamps with an optional Air setting, which can reproduce the Air effect of Focusrite's original ISA mic preamp, giving your vocal and acoustic recordings a brighter and more open sound. Equipped with high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, the Scarlett 2i2 delivers the same professional sound quality found throughout the third-generation range.

The high-impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs allow you to record guitar or bass without any clipping or unwanted distortion, while Gain Halo metering makes it easy to set the input level. Scarlett 2i2 is designed to stand up to days on the road and connects straight to your Mac or PC via USB cable, with no external power required.

Your Scarlett 2i2 comes with the Hitmaker Expansion, an unbeatable range of tried-and-tested studio tools from some of the biggest names in the business. The Hitmaker Expansion includes Antares Auto-Tune Access, Relab LX480 Essentials, Softube Marshall® Silver Jubilee 2555, XLN Audio Addictive Keys, XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2, a Three Month Splice Sounds Subscription, Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC, and Focusrite Red Plug-In Suite. Additionally, Ableton Live Lite and a Three Month Avid Pro Tools Artist subscription with their complete plugin bundle are included upon purchase, registration, and download.

To achieve a brighter recording, the Scarlett 3rd Gen offers high-performing mic pre-amps, and the switchable Air mode will add extra clarity to your acoustic instruments. With two high-headroom instrument inputs, you can capture your voice and instruments without any unwanted clipping or distortion, thanks to the Gain Halos.

The 2 low-noise balanced outputs provide clean audio playback with 3rd Gen, allowing you to hear all the nuances of your tracks or music from Spotify, Apple & Amazon Music. You can also plug in headphones for private listening in high-fidelity.
