Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen – USB Audio Interface
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Generation puts two microphone preamps, instrument recording and hands-on monitoring into a compact USB-C desktop interface. Record a voice and guitar together, capture a stereo line source, or build a two-microphone podcast setup without stepping up to a larger interface.
This generation adds Auto Gain, Clip Safe and two Air modes alongside 69dB of mic gain. The useful distinction is simple: it records two analogue input channels, while Loopback brings computer playback into the recording workflow.
Explore the Features

FEATURE 01
Two 69dB Microphone Preamps
Two remotely controlled mic preamps provide up to 69dB of gain. This gives you room to work with a range of microphones, including lower-output dynamics. Set gain while speaking or playing at the level you will actually record.

FEATURE 02
Auto Gain for a Starting Level
Auto Gain listens while you perform and chooses an initial gain setting. It is useful when you are both the engineer and the performer; rehearse the loudest part rather than only a quiet test phrase.
FEATURE 03
Clip Safe During the Take
Clip Safe monitors the input and reduces gain when the signal approaches clipping. It is a useful safeguard when performance levels vary, though sensible microphone placement and an appropriate starting level still matter.
FEATURE 04
Two Air Modes
Air Presence adds high-frequency emphasis, while Presence and Harmonic Drive adds harmonic character as well. Compare with Air off at a similar listening volume to choose the sound that fits the voice or instrument.

FEATURE 05
Hi-Z Instrument and Line Inputs
The front-panel quarter-inch inputs accept instruments or line sources. Use instrument mode for a guitar or bass pickup; use the correct line setting for synths or other line-level gear. These share the two recording channels with the mic inputs.
FEATURE 06
24-bit / 192kHz Recording
Recording supports up to 24-bit / 192kHz, with a listed 120dB converter dynamic range. Choose sample rate for the project and software workflow; the highest available rate is not required for every podcast or track.
FEATURE 07
48V Phantom Power
Switchable phantom power supports compatible condenser microphones and active accessories. Passive dynamics generally do not need it; turn it on only when the connected device requires it.
FEATURE 08
Direct Headphone and Speaker Monitoring
A dedicated headphone output and balanced line outputs support a practical listening setup. Direct monitoring lets you hear the input without relying on a computer round trip, which helps when recording vocals or instruments.
FEATURE 09
Loopback for Computer Audio
Loopback brings software playback into your recording or streaming application. Keep monitoring routes deliberate so the computer audio does not loop back into itself.

FEATURE 10
Focusrite Control 2
Adjust supported settings in Focusrite Control 2 on Windows or macOS. Its remote app works with the desktop system so a performer can adjust the interface without constantly returning to the computer.
FEATURE 11
USB-C Connection and Bus Power
The interface uses USB-C with USB 2.0 operation and a 900mA power requirement. Use a suitable port and cable; the connector shape alone does not guarantee a hub can supply enough power.
FEATURE 12
Recording Software and Easy Start
Eligible registration gives access to the included recording software and Hitmaker Expansion offer. Easy Start guides setup. Software offers can change, so review the current registration bundle rather than assuming every licence or trial is permanent.
Build a Two-Channel Recording Desk
Combine the Scarlett with an XLR microphone such as the RODE PodMic White and a suitable Klotz Greyhound 3m cable. For headphone monitoring near an open microphone, compare the closed-back DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm. Match microphone gain and headphone level separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many microphones can I record at once?
Two. Scarlett 2i2 has two microphone preamps and records two analogue input channels.
Can I use four analogue inputs at once?
No. The microphone and front line/instrument sockets share two input channels. Loopback adds computer-audio inputs, not two additional analogue recording channels.
Does it provide phantom power?
Yes. Switchable 48V supports microphones and accessories that require phantom power.
Can I record a guitar without a microphone?
Yes. Connect a compatible guitar or bass to an instrument input and enable the appropriate instrument setting.
What do Auto Gain and Clip Safe do?
Auto Gain establishes an initial input level from a performance. Clip Safe can reduce gain when the incoming signal risks clipping.
Is it a standalone recorder?
It is a USB audio interface for use with a compatible computer and software, not a recorder with its own memory-card recording system.
Can I connect studio monitors?
Yes. The two balanced line outputs can feed suitable powered monitors or an appropriate amplifier.
