Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio 4th Gen Audio Recording Interface w Mic & Headphones

The complete studio for artists. Set up the CM25 MkIII mic for your vocals and guitar and plug into Scarlett 2i2's 4th-Generation preamps – Focusrite's clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range. Hook up an electric guitar to one of 2i2's Hi-Z instrument inputs – it feels just like an amp. Listen in detail through the SH-450 headphones. Scarlett brings Focusrite's professional sound quality to wherever you make music. For standout lead vocal and instrument tracks, Scarlett's re-engineered Air mode takes your sound's unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding truly musical presence and rich harmonic drive, just like a classic console in a big money studio. Trust us, you'll never want to record without it. Scarlett's gain halos make setting your levels quick and easy with any mic – or just select Auto Gain and let Scarlett do it for you. Hit the button and play for ten seconds, Scarlett will set the perfect level for whatever you're recording. While you're playing, Clip Safe is all ears. Checking your levels up to 96,000 times a second – more than the best studio engineers – Clip Safe will automatically adjust the gain if you're at risk of clipping, so you can lose yourself in the music, without losing any takes. Hit the red button and you're recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters direct from Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces – as found in countless high-end studios around the world. Squeeze every last drop of detail out of your recordings without sacrificing any sound quality.

For the best sound straight away, Scarlett 2i2 Studio includes Focusrite's CM25 MkIII studio condenser mic and SH-450 closed back headphones. You can use the CM25 MkIII for almost anything, but you'll love how it sounds on vocals and guitar thanks to its bright and detailed character. With the SH-450 Focusrite have created their most accurate studio headphones, with plush pads and a soft-touch headband design to keep you focused, not fatigued. If you haven't got a mic stand yet, Focusrite have even included a rather clever cardboard stand so you can get started right away. In combination with the included SH-450 closed back headphones, the custom-designed headphone amp and huge dynamic range set the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from Scarlett. 2i2 also has independent controls for your headphones and monitors so you can record, mix and play back audio however you want.
