Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd Gen Focusrite

Perfect for recording two mics at once
This is our compact yet versatile 2-in, 2-out USB audio interface. It gives singer songwriters two natural-sounding Scarlett mic preamps and the same class-leading sound quality and digital conversion as the rest of the latest Scarlett range. Take it anywhere, connect by USB, plug your mics and guitars straight in, and simply start recording.

Focusrite interfaces are the perfect partner for Pro Tools, so Scarlett 2i2 comes with Pro Tools | First recording software, as well as Ableton Live Lite 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.

Sound Like You
Easily make studio quality recordings that sound just the way you intended. Connect your microphones, guitars and line level equipment to two newly designed instrument inputs, both with natural-sounding Scarlett preamps and 48V phantom power.

Performing Live?

If you want a cue mix for recording and performing, you should take a look at Scarlett 2i4 which gives you four analogue outputs, MIDI I/O and a cue mix switch.

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 2i2 and two separate headphone outputs.

Effects In Real Time
Don’t let latency hold you back. Enhance your recordings in ways that are simply impossible with any other interface in this class, like enabling real-time guitar amp simulation and vocal reverb (depending on your software, settings and computer).
