The 4th Generation Scarlett 2i2

Front view of the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Generation 2-channel USB 2.0 audio interface with controls and switches

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Generation – a USB-C audio interface for Mac and PC – comes with two balanced line inputs for connecting synthesizers or other line-level audio devices and two balanced outputs, which will most often be used for monitoring purposes. Alternatively, microphones can be connected to two XLR input sockets located at the back of the device. The two Scarlett microphone preamps deliver superior sound quality, 48V of phantom power, and (as a new addition to the 4th Generation) a re-engineered Air Mode comprising the Presence and Harmonic Drive functions. Electric guitars and electric basses can also be connected directly to the jack inputs and the impedance adjusted accordingly. The Scarlett 2i2 Studio bundle also includes a condenser microphone, a pair of studio headphones, and a 3m XLR cable. All in all, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Generation delivers a superb overall package at an attractive price.

Love is in the "Air"

Focusrite has earned an excellent reputation during its thirty years of building microphone preamps and, with the addition of the Presence and Harmonic Drive functions, has now succeeded in making the 4th Generation version even more appealing. The optional Air mode Presence adds treble when recording, delivering – in Focusrite's own words – "high-end details for vocals, acoustic guitar or cymbals", and emulating the sound of this traditional British manufacturer's legendary studio console. The Harmonic Drive function boosts mid-range harmonics, making it ideal not only for electric guitars, among other instruments, but also for certain vocals.

Dynamic duo

As a desktop interface with compact dimensions, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is particularly suitable for home and bedroom studios. Powered by USB, the device is light, despite its robust construction, and therefore portable. The two inputs in a flexible configuration and the two outputs (for use with active monitors, for example) should more than satisfy any connection requirement. The newly revised Gain Halos (coloured LED rings around the gain controller) make it even easier to manage input levels. Unlike some of the larger models in the Scarlett series, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Generation is not equipped with a MIDI input and output, however, as many keyboards available today already come with a built-in USB interface allowing direct connection to a computer, this should not pose too much of a problem.

About Focusrite

Founded in 1985 by Rupert Neve, Focusrite quickly made a name for itself with high-quality analogue consoles. Today, the company markets audio interfaces, mic preamps, consoles, analogue EQs, and channel strips as well as hardware and software for digital audio processing. The company is based in High Wycombe, England, and has won numerous industry awards. In addition to the Focusrite Pro line, the company also has subsidiaries that include Adam Audio, Novation, and iOS app creator Ampify Music.

Hit the ground running

For aspiring producers who are looking to start recording immediately after purchasing the interface, Focusrite has also included an Easy Start tool and put together a comprehensive software package comprising Ableton Live Lite, a three-month subscription to Pro Tools Artist, and the Hitmaker Expansion bundle, which includes guitar sounds from the Softube Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555, pitch adjustment options for vocals from Antares Auto-Tune, reverb effects from Relab LX480 Essentials, and the "Addictive Drums 2: Studio Rock" virtual drumming instrument from XLN Audio. The Studio Grand Piano from XLN Audio Addictive Keys is also accessible and the Focusrite Red Plug-in Suite provides an entire channel strip compete with EQ, de-esser, compressor, limiter, gate, and expander. And the icing on the cake: The package also comes with a two-month subscription to Landr Studio mastering tools, allowing those final touches to be added to any project.

Great value for the price

Armandcr 14.10.2024

Disclaimer: I am but a neophyte when it comes to this kind of technology, however, when I first got it, it was easy to move around and understand the way it functions, the mic and headphones are not the best, but definitely will help someone enter the world of sound interfaces just like it helped me.

The quality of the interface is far superior of that of the headphones, and the mic is alright.

Scarlet 2i2 Studio 4th Generation

KURT_RICHARDS 30.09.2023

Nachdem ich bereits gute Erfahrungen mit der Vorgängerversion gemacht habe (diese Karte verwende ich nun mit meinem alten PC), habe ich mich nun für die Scarlet Saffire 4th Generation im Studio Bundle entschieden. Die Saffire wird sofort von meinem PC ohne Probleme erkannt, fürs Aufnehmen muss man sich eine neue Mixersoftware downloaden, dies war schnell und ohne Probleme erledigt. Was Sound und Rauschunterdrückung betrifft, ist sie noch eine Spur besser als die 3rd Generation. Auch der Kopfhörer und das Mikrofon sind hochwertig und mir sind damit bereits sehr gute Aufnahmen gelungen. Für unschlagbare 300 EUR kann ich jedem das Studiobundle empfehlen, man bekommt gute Qualität zu einem super Preis. Die Lieferung von Thomann erfolgte auch wieder schnell und ohne Probleme :-)
