The high impedance, high-headroom instrument inputs allow you to record guitar or bass without any clipping or unwanted distortion, while Gain Halo metering makes it easy for you to set the input level. Scarlett 2i2 is designed to stand up to days on the road and connects straight to your Mac or PC via USB cable, with no external power required. Your Scarlett 2i2 comes with the Hitmaker Expansion, an unbeatable range of tried-and-tested studio tools from some of the biggest names in the business.

    Great first audio interface!
    5 Stars
    Great first audio interface!
    It's an easy audio interaface to use. I wasn't very familar with audio tech before I purchased this item. However, with the software that is used with this interface made it simple and easy to understand. I use this interface everyday for school, work, and even gaming with friends. I love the control of sound quality I have and will continue to have.The only downside to this item is the software you need to download, and it doesn't come with its required cable. Nevertheless, this is a great purchase that will be in my computer setup for the next few years.
