Sound just like you

Two combination inputs with natural-sounding Scarlett mic preamps, line level inputs and newly-designed instrument inputs let you record anything you want. Even seriously hot guitar pick-ups. Two 1/4 inch balanced jack outputs let you connect to professional studio monitors, turn up the volume and totally immerse yourself in sound.
 
New Generation - Better in every way

The second generation Scarlett range is packed full of upgrades. New super-low latency* will bring confidence to your performance, letting you record and monitor with software effects in real time. New metal gain controls and a sleeker red metal chassis underscore its improved industrial design, built to go anywhere. The Scarlett range also now operates at sample rates all the way up to 192kHz, and the input channels have evolved too. The latest Scarlett mic preamp features a more even gain structure, so you can accurately set your levels, and the instrument input has also been completely redesigned so it can handle seriously hot guitar pick-ups. Finally, Focusrite have provided analogue protection circuitry across both the inputs and the outputs, to guard your interface against unwanted power surges.

Good piece of kit. Easy to use and versatile.

Trusted Customer25th Mar 2019

I am very pleased with the Scarlett 2i2 interface. It sounds good and the price is reasonable. It would be nice if it had a mix input/playback control instead of the 50/50 direct monitor switch but you can't have everything.

Mr C Woodham23rd Feb 2019

Needed a quick, low cost replacement for my old audio interface because it started malfunctioning. This is the perfect replacement, probably the best interface for it's price range.

Trusted Customer3rd Feb 2019

This was a gift for my boyfriend who loves it and finds it easy to use. Recommend this to anyone looking for an audio interface as it was the best deal I could find at the time of ordering.

The interface works just fine. Downloading the bundled software has been a bit of a nightmare, and it doesn't seem to work on my computer - which is probably the fault of the computer. But it doesn't matter. There are good, cheap DAWs out there.
