The interface designed for artists
Set up your microphones and guitars and connect them to the 2i2's 4th generation preamps, the clearest and most precise in the Scarlett series, offering a wide 69 dB gain range. If you have an electric guitar, connect it to one of the 2i2's Hi-Z instrument inputs and discover an amplifier-like sound. With Scarlett, you'll enjoy Focusrite's signature professional sound wherever you decide to create music.
Find your sound
Enhance the lead vocals and instruments in your tracks with Scarlett's special feature called 'Air Mode', which captures and enhances the distinctive character of your sound, giving it prominence in the mix. This feature adds musical essence and harmonic drive inspired by classic high-end studio mixing consoles. Once you try it, you won't be able to record without this feature.
Let Scarlett adjust the levels for you
With Scarlett's Dynamic Gain Halos, you'll be able to quickly adjust levels with any source with ease. If you prefer a more automated option, simply select 'Auto Gain' and Scarlett will adjust the levels for you. Just press the button and play for 10 seconds and the interface will automatically set the optimal level for each recording.
You don't want to miss any shots
While you focus on your music, you won't have to worry about missing any shots thanks to the 'Clip Safe' function. This ingenious mechanism checks levels up to 96,000 times per second (faster than the best studio technicians) and automatically adjusts gain to prevent any unwanted distortion or clipping. Let you immerse yourself in your music without missing a single take.
