Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface Overview

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Overview By GAK.
The Focusrite Scarlett 2I2 interface has two Focusrite mic preamps giving you an exceptionally clean audio signal path for instruments, mics or line level sources and provides phantom power for condenser microphones. Best-in-class digital converters capture outstanding quality audio for pro sounding results. The 2i2's internal circuitry is housed in a single piece of red anodised aluminium. The 2i2 is designed to look and sound fantastic but is build ruggedly enough to take knocks on stage or in a gig bag when you want to make high quality recordings away from the studio. The Scarlett 2i2 has unique LED-halo signal indicators which encircle each gain control. The signal indicators glow green when an input signal is detected and turn red if clipping occurs.

Focusrite Overview:
At Focusrite, our motto is "Sound Is Everything", and every Scarlett USB 2.0 audio interface exemplifies sound quality with top-quality precision digital conversion, and Focusrite’s legendary mic preamps – two of which are included in the Scarlett 2i2. Like all Scarlett interfaces, 2i2 is fully compatible with Macintosh® (including Yosemite®) and Windows® - and with the new included Red 2 and Red 3 AAX plugins, it’s a perfect partner for Pro Tools®.

The 2-in, 2-out USB interface for musicians:
The Scarlett 2i2 is a 2-in / 2-out USB recording interface featuring dual award-winning Focusrite preamps and precision digital conversion. Housed in a rugged anodised aluminium unibody chassis, the interface not only sounds fantastic but looks great too. What’s more, it’s solid enough to take on the road. And inside is 30 years of pro audio design expertise.
30 years of mic pre experience:
Since 1985, when Rupert Neve designed those first modules for Sir George Martin’s AIR Studios, Focusrite has designed some of the most popular microphone preamps in the industry. This experience is behind the transparent, low-noise and low-distortion preamp found not only in the Scarlett 2i2 but also our flagship Firewire interface, the Liquid Saffire 56. Plenty of available headroom makes 2i2 suitable for any type of microphone, of any vintage. Phantom power is provided at the touch of a button for mics that need it.
Plug straight in:
Use the front panel high quality XLR/jack combination inputs to connect line and instrument level signals as well as microphones – perfect for recording a synth or stage piano, or at the flick of a switch, an electric or acoustic guitar.
Check your levels at a glance:
Unique "halo" indicators let you know that you’ve got a good signal level for recording. Red means that your signal is clipping, and that you should reduce the gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a healthy level, at which point it will turn green.
Precision conversion:
At the heart of Scarlett 2i2 is Focusrite’s precision digital conversion, ensuring you get the very best quality into and out of your computer. Focusrite has been building converters since the introduction of its mastering converter in 1993, and our careful choice of components and equally careful board design ensure that you get superior low noise and distortion performance.
Flexible monitoring options:
A large monitor dial provides a tactile control for monitor speaker volume, while a high quality headphone amp provides a clean yet loud signal to headphones connected to the front panel socket. The direct monitor switch routes audio directly from the inputs to both the headphone and speaker outputs, letting you monitor the incoming signal with zero-latency.
Polish Your Mix
All Scarlett audio interfaces include Ableton Live Lite recording software, plus two powerful software plug-ins: Red Plug-in Suite and Scarlett Plug-in Suite.
Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-In Suite:
