Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 2nd Gen Focusrite

Ideal for anyone who needs a cue mix
for performing or recording
Our compact and flexible 2-in, 4-out USB audio interface makes it easy to perform and record studio quality audio against a cue mix. Take it anywhere, connect by USB and get two natural-sounding Scarlett mic preamps, super-low latency*, MIDI I/O, four analogue outputs and the same class-leading sound quality and digital conversion as the rest of the latest Scarlett range.

Focusrite interfaces are perfect partners for Pro Tools, so

Scarlett 2i4 comes with Pro Tools | First – Focusrite Creative Pack, as well as Ableton Live Lite recording software and a suite of software and samples, so you can start recording straight away. As you’d expect, it works flawlessly with all major DAWs on Mac and PC.

Recording a Duo?

If you want to record two artists at once, or you’re a multi-instrumentalist who wants to connect mics, instruments and line level gear, take a look at Scarlett 6i6. It has twice as many analogue inputs as Scarlett 2i4 and two separate headphone outputs.

Want Even More I/O?

If you want eight Scarlett preamps available all the time, take a look at Scarlett 18i20. It is beautiful, rack-mountable and capable of handling all your day-to-day studio tasks with quality and flexibility

Real Time Effects
Don’t let interface latency ruin your performance. Scarlett 2i4’s new super-low latency lets you enhance your recording or performance in ways that are simply impossible with any other interface in this class, like enabling real-time guitar amp simulation and vocal reverb (subject to your software, settings and computer).
