Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Recording Interface with Red Plug-ins

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2

 is a 2 in / 2 out USB recording interface fitted with highly regarded Focusrite preamps providing low distortion and routing high quality audio to and from your MAC or PC. The Scarlett 2i2 has a striking contemporary look, with a tough red anodized aluminium housing. Like the Scarlett 8i6, the Scarlett 2i2 controls have been simplified, with colorful LED rings around the Gain controls to indicate input (green) and overload (red).

The Scarlett 2i2 makes it easy to connect microphones, musical instruments or line level audio signals to you computer. The Scarlett 2i2 is bus powered, so an additional power supply is not needed, that's to say, this interface is fully portable. What's more, the Scarlett 2i2 is bundled with the Focusrite Scarlett Plug-in Suite as well as Ableton Live Lite.

Please noe: Includes the Focusrite Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-In Suite (AAX/AU/VST) upon registration of interface. Accurately modeled on the classic Red 2 EQ and Red 3 Compressor, the Red plug-ins let you exploit the sound of the hardware originals, conveniently from within Pro Tools® (10 and above) and other audio software.

Monthly Focusrite Plug-In Collective offers with free or discounted plug-ins to registered Focusrite interface owners.
