Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 3rd Gen provides singer-songwriters with an all-in-one solution for a worry-free recording process. Straight out of the box, you get a Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface, a condenser microphone, a 3-metre XLR microphone cable, closed-back headphones, and free software so you can start making music in no time.

The most popular audio interface for artists of all time, the third generation of Scarlett 2i2 provides two microphone/line/instrument inputs that allow the simultaneous recording and playback of up to two channels with independently controllable headphone and monitor outputs.

It features two enhanced third-generation Scarlett microphone preamps: with an optional Air setting to reproduce the Air effect of Focusrite's original ISA microphone preamp, giving your vocal recordings a brighter and more open sound.

The CM25 MkIII condenser microphone allows you to capture studio-quality recordings that are faithful to the original source, while the HP60 MkIII headphones, with a new improved design, offer high sound quality and long-lasting comfort when recording and mixing.

Simply connect your guitar or bass to the high-level instrument inputs and start recording without cutoffs or unwanted distortion, and monitor your input level with the intuitive Halo gain meter.

Equipped with high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, Scarlett guarantees the same professional sound quality across the entire third generation range, and the 2i2 is designed to withstand days on the road, connecting directly to your Mac® or PC via a USB cable, with no need for external power.

Your Scarlett 2i2 Studio package comes with all the software tools you need to get started, including two digital audio workstations: Ableton® Live Lite™ and Pro Tools® First Focusrite Creative Pack. Intuitive enough for beginners but advanced enough to inspire real creativity with big-sounding effects.
