Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 Hardware

Perfect for Bedroom Producers, Singer-songwriters, and Podcasters

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a flexible audio interface for producers, artists, and content creators. Its 2-in/2-out design allows you to record two inputs simultaneously. That means you can record guitar and vocals simultaneously and then layer sounds like bass, synthesizer, drum machines, and more. With its small footprint and USB bus-powered performance, the Scarlett 2i2 is a standout choice for mobile recordings. Simply chuck it in your go bag and record anywhere you can take your laptop—the interface connects via USB-C for audio and power. Plus, if you’re a podcaster, the Scarlett 2i2 can record you and a second host, or guest, no problem.

After that, Clip Safe rides your fader, just like an audio engineer, to make sure you don’t lose a killer take to unwanted distortion. Dynamic Gain Halos give you immediate visual feedback to guarantee you’re recording in the sweet spot. The Scarlett 2i2 also includes independent volume controls for your monitors and headphones, so you can effortlessly switch from recording to playback.
