The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is a versatile and high-performance audio interface designed for singers, guitarists, and podcaster duos. It is bus-powered, making it suitable for use with Mac, Windows, and iPad OS devices, offering great flexibility and convenience.

The interface features two high-quality Mic/Line/Hi-Z preamps, ensuring exceptional audio capture for microphones, instruments, and other audio sources. With 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, it delivers pristine and detailed sound reproduction.
