Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen 4 Hardware

Hard(ware) to Beat

The fourth-generation Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 comes fully loaded with the hardware and I/O you need to create hit records. A pair of Scarlett series mic pres offer detailed, ultralow-noise response, and with phantom power, are a great match for any microphone.

Also included are two Hi-Z instrument inputs and a custom-designed headphone amp, so you can plug right in and play. The fourth-generation Scarlett 2i2 takes things a step farther with independent controls for headphones and monitors, so you can record, mix and play back your sessions with all the flexibility of a modern recording studio.
