Description
Ideal for singer-songwriters and guitarists, the third-generation Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB Audio Interface (3rd Generation) offers high-performance hardware, customisable mic tone, and a creative software bundle. The two improved Scarlett microphone preamps feature switchable phantom power and selectable Air circuits, which add brightness based on Focusrite's legendary ISA preamplifier. The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs can also accept unbalanced instrument-level from guitars and basses, and synthesisers and drum machines, or balanced line-level from a mixing console or outboard preamps.
The 24-bit / 192 kHz converters ensure that signals are captured and reproduced with detail and clarity. Hook up headphones to the front-panel 1/4" jack and connect active speakers to the rear-panel balanced 1/4" monitor outputs, and enjoy independent control of the headphone and speaker volume settings. Since the Scarlett 2i2 is powered via USB, you can take it anywhere your Mac or Windows computer can go. The extensive software bundle includes music production software, virtual instruments, plug-in effects, loops, and more—plenty of tools to kick-start your inspiration.

This ticks all the boxes for me I dropped a star because it doesn't have a switch to turn it off which is a minor annoyance due to the fact it isn't my main audio interface so it isn't required all the time.Having said that I will be comparing results with my current interface it may supersede it.Read more Read less

When it comes to recording good clean sound - this thing is a weapon. Drivers and everything are great, it works straight away. And the thing is super versatile. When I'm recording I plug in monitoring headphones, when I'm just gaming or listening etc I output it into an amplifier that goes to B&W speakers rather than studio monitors. Highly recommended, and great service from Rubber Monkey themselves.Read more Read less
