Description
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB-C Audio Interface is a desktop 2-in, 2-out interface for singers, musicians, podcasters and streamers. It suits users who want to record microphones and instruments into a computer or compatible device with simple front-panel control.
It has two microphone preamps, two line or Hi-Z inputs, two monitor outputs and one headphone output. The interface supports 24-bit recording at up to 192 kHz, uses USB-C, and includes auto-gain and clip safe controls. Phantom power is selectable on or off, and the gain range reaches up to +69 dB for mic or line inputs.
In use, it connects to macOS, Windows or iPadOS systems and can run from USB bus power or an external AC/DC adapter, which is not included. It pairs with microphones, guitars, synths and studio monitors. The box includes the Scarlett 2i2 4th Generation interface and a USB-C to USB-A cable.
