Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Gen

Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Gen is a complete recording bundle: a two-in, two-out USB-C interface, a CM25 MkIII condenser mic, SH-450 closed-back headphones and a 3 m XLR cable. Two 4th Generation preamps carry a 69 dB gain range, so the CM25 MkIII sits at a healthy level on vocals and acoustic guitar with no booster needed. The mic has a bright, detailed character that suits singers and acoustic players, and the SH-450 headphones use plush pads and a soft-touch headband for long sessions without fatigue. Two Hi-Z inputs take an electric guitar or bass straight in with the feel of an amp input, and the line inputs cover keys and synths. Conversion runs at 24-bit/192 kHz with 120 dB of dynamic range, matched to the design used in Focusrite's RedNet interfaces. Air mode adds console-style presence to lead vocals, gain halos show levels on the hardware, and Auto Gain sets a working level after about ten seconds of playing. Clip Safe checks levels up to 96,000 times a second and trims gain before a peak clips. Loopback routes computer audio into a DAW for sampling or streaming, and a custom headphone amp with independent level control powers the SH-450 cleanly. A cardboard mic stand is included so you can record on day one. Three-year warranty and 24/7 support.
