On the right side there are the Phantom +48V power and the Direct Monitoring switches, and also the Headphones and Main Volume knobs. On the front panel it has 2 input preamps and they both have a gain knob and can host a jack or an XLR cable at Line or Instrument impedance. At first glance it's very stylish, claassy red USB cable and outer shield. I'm going to use it for heavy metal guitars to track, maybe I won't use all of the software included. It's a 2-inputs 2-outputs USB audio soundcard that can record up to 24-bits 192KHz and it comes with some software bundled such as Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools First, Addictive keys and Softube to name some. So it's the 2nd generation of Scarletts meaning it has more room in the gain stage (1st Gens used to clip even at 0 gain when playing with very high output pickups).

Hello everybody! I recently switched from an old M-Track MKII to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and as soon as I played few notes recording through (using Reaper/Win10) it I could immediately hear the overall clarity of sound has improved a lot.īought it from Amazon (around 120,00 euros) and came home in few days.
