Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 3rd Gen 2x2 USB Audio Interface and Recording Bundle

You won't get a better sounding, more reliable recording package. Scarlett 2i2 Studio provides singer-songwriters with an all-in-one solution for a reassuringly easy recording process. Right out of the box you get a Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface, condenser microphone, 3-metre XLR microphone cable, closed-back headphones, and free software so you can start making music in no time at all.

This third-generation 2-in, 2-out USB audio interface provides two mic/line/instrument inputs allowing simultaneous recording and playback of up to two channels with independently controllable headphone and monitor outputs. It also features two upgraded Scarlett mic preamps with switchable Air mode to give your vocal and acoustic recordings a brighter and more open sound. Equipped with high-performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, this Scarlett third-generation model guarantees the same professional sound quality as the previous generations.

Microphone and Headphones

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

Instrument Inputs

Simply plug your guitar or bass in to the high-headroom instrument inputs and start recording without any clipping or unwanted distortion and keep an eye on your input level with intuitive Gain Halo metering.

High-Performance Converters

Equipped with high performance 24-bit/192kHz AD-DA converters, Scarlett guarantees the same professional sound quality throughout the third-generation range and the 2i2 is designed to stand up to days on the road, connecting straight to your Mac or PC via USB cable, with no external power required.

Included Software

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 comes with all the software tools you need to get started, including two comprehensive digital audio workstations: Ableton Live Lite, three months of Splice Sounds, and three months of Avid® Pro Tools® subscription. Intuitive enough for beginners yet advanced enough to inspire real creativity with great-sounding effects.

Softube's Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 for guitar gives warm cleans, through the classic crunch, and up to modern high gain tube amp sounds. For keys and drums, you can add beautifully captured piano and the sounds of a pro drummer to your tracks with XLN Audio Addictive Keys & Addictive Drums 2: Studio Rock.
