Scarlett 4th Gen has won the 2024 Sound On Sound award for best audio interface.
The original studio-quality 2-in, 2-out interface, remastered for the artist. 2i2 features two of our most detailed, ultra-low-noise mic preamps, with line/instrument inputs on the front so you can plug your guitars and synths straight in, delivering pro studio–grade sound with 120dB of dynamic range. Plus, with Auto Gain and Clip Safe, you’ll never need to worry about your levels when recording.

Plug into 2i2’s remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range to get the best from every microphone.
Let 2i2 handle your levels.
Auto Gain sets your levels and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You’ll never lose a take again.
Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.
Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.
Hi-Z instrument inputs, just like you’d find on an amp, make guitars sound great for DI’s and amp sims.
Two super-high-quality line inputs capture all the character of your synths and keys.
Get started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, and Cubase LE. From there, the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to add big-studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of instruments and effects from the biggest names in the business.
