The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Gen USB Audio Interface offers an impressive 69 dB gain range, providing exceptional clarity and detail for recording. You can easily connect an electric guitar to one of the 2i2's Hi-Z instrument inputs, which provides an experience similar to using an amp, or you can also hook up keys, synths, and groove boxes to the superbly high-quality line inputs. With a massive 120 dB dynamic range, the Scarlett 2i2 uses top-notch studio-grade converters, similar to those found in Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces used in high-end studios worldwide. Additionally, the interface boasts an Air Mode, which imparts the character of a big studio console, adding a high-end presence and rich harmonic drive to vocals and instruments. The Scarlett 2i2 Studio comes equipped with several user-friendly features, including Auto Gain, which automatically sets the perfect recording level when activated and played for ten seconds. The Clip Safe function adjusts the gain to prevent clipping, simulating the assistance of a professional engineer during your recording session. Dynamic Gain Halos on the hardware allow easy monitoring of input and output signals. All sources sound wonderful when using the bundled CM25 MkIII studio condenser mic, but especially vocalists and acoustic instruments. Loopback allows you to effortlessly generate custom audio samples from your computer's sound output by utilizing Scarlett's virtual inputs. Setting up for recording is made simple with Focusrite's Easy Start tool. Additionally, the interface comes with all the essential software, including Ableton Live Lite and Avid Pro Tools Artist, as well as the Hitmaker Expansion software bundle that offers a wide range of studio tools for record-making.
