Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio USB Audio Interface with Microphone & Headphones (3rd Generation)

Description

Ideal for simultaneously recording vocals and guitar, the third-generation Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio USB Audio Interface with Microphone & Headphones (3rd Generation) is a complete recording package featuring a third-generation Scarlett 2i2 2x2 USB audio interface, a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone, closed-back headphones, an XLR microphone cable, and a creative software bundle. Whether you track in the comfort of your own home or record on the go, the Scarlett 2i2 Studio is ready to aid you in your musical endeavours.

The two improved Scarlett microphone preamps feature switchable phantom power and selectable Air circuits, which add brightness based on Focusrite's legendary ISA preamplifier. The two XLR-1/4" combo inputs can also accept unbalanced instrument-level from guitars, basses, synthesisers, or drum machines, or balanced line-level from a mixing console or outboard preamps.

24-bit / 192 kHz converters ensure that signals are captured and reproduced with detail and clarity. Hook up headphones to the front-panel 1/4" jack and connect active speakers to the rear-panel balanced 1/4" monitor outputs, then enjoy independent control of the headphone and speaker volume settings. Since the Scarlett 2i2 is powered via USB, you can take it anywhere your Mac or Windows computer can go. The extensive software bundle includes music production software, virtual instruments, plug-in effects, loops, and more—plenty of tools to kick-start your inspiration.
