Take Focusrite Recording Quality on the Go!

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface gives you a great recording front-end in a portable interface. Two vibrant Focusrite mic/line/instrument preamps are right on the front panel where you need them, while the back panel hosts two line outputs. The Scarlett 2i2 is a perfect foundation for home or mobile studios that need high quality, not a high channel count.



Focusrite didn't stop at stellar sound quality and flexible routing with the Scarlett 2i2 - you also get the Scarlett VST/AU/RTAS plug-in suite featuring Focusrite's acclaimed Scarlett compression, reverb, gating, and EQ! These plug-ins give you access to the vibe of classic Focusrite studio hardware with the flexibility of software processing. Factor in the included Ableton Live Lite 8 production and performance software, and you've got a complete music production suite that's ready to go whenever inspiration strikes. Start making music today with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface!

  • Great-sounding Focusrite front-end for studios that don't need a lot of channels
  • Up to 24-bit/96kHz AD/DA for pristine sound quality

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop

This little unit works exactly as advertised--just plug 'er into your computer and you're good-to-go. The green light/red light display around the gain knob(s) is really helpful, especially for those... read more [+] of us who'd rather not deal with meters. Build is rugged as others have mentioned; there's a very solid feel and quality of construction that you might not expect in a $150 preamp. Overall, I'm highly impressed with the little red box. close [-]

Amazing

I was absolutely blown away by the sound of this interface. I'm a big presonus guy, but wanted to try something new for my portable interface as opposed to my Presonus audiobox 1818vsl. This is absolu... read more [+]tely awesome. The light indicator is super helpful as opposed to just having things show up when they peak. The monior knob is nice and big and works great with my studio monitors. The headphone level is perfectly fine. I've never had issues with that. close [-]

A Choice Buy

A searched a long while for a good, reliable USB Audio Interface that could perform well. When I got this, I got exactly what I was looking for. The preamps are the best that I've heard - and the smoo... read more [+]th outsides will keep my eyes on it anytime it's around me.

The drivers are good and easy-to-setup; latency is PAR and everything works like a charm. If you're reading this view, buy this interface.

I've recorded using both inputs at once, balanced and unbalanced, mic, instrument, and line level, with or without phantom power, and everything has turned out great on the other side. My smile reaches from ear to ear listening to it - and the direct monitoring is almost never needed since the latency is low enough.

SUMMARY: Buy it - you can thank me later. close [-]

Excellent interface for home recording

This thing is FANTASTIC!! I used to own an EMU 0404, and that was great, but I had to downsize to an MAudio fast track. That thing was pretty cool for what I needed it for, but it was time for an upgr... read more [+]ade. Got this, and noticed IMMEDIATE improvement in my recorded guitar tones. I use drum software for drums, and I dont have anything bass related, so I usually go without bass tracks (I need to get a bass lol). But as far as recording my guitar tracks, the mic pres and converters in the 2i2 are EXCELLENT for something in this price range. Also, it comes with 4 focusrite VSTs which are actually really good. Ive got a bunch of good ones, but these are my new go to VSTs for EQ, Compression and Gate. I dont have monitors, currently...just running everything through a set of Shure 440 headphones. Next purchase will be monitors, but this thing has all the features I needed/wanted, and it comes with some good software and has excellent hardware built into it. Cant go wrong if you need something small and portable for home recording. close [-]
