- Front-panel 6.3 mm TRS/TS instrument inputs that emulate the feel of a real amplifier
- 24-bit/192 kHz conversion with 120 dB dynamic range on the balanced line outputs
- Exclusive Sonnox, Softube and Acustica plugins plus Ableton Live Lite and Pro Tools Intro
A Limited 2-in, 2-out USB-C Interface Celebrating 40 Years of Focusrite
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition marks four decades of the brand with a strictly limited run of the world's most popular 2-in, 2-out USB audio interface. Housed in a classic ISA-blue aluminium chassis, this 4th-generation unit delivers studio-grade recording on any laptop. This Anniversary Edition is built for creators who want the proven Scarlett workflow wrapped in a heritage look with exclusive plugin extras.
Heritage Design Meets 4th-Gen Conversion
Two Air modes recreate the sound of the original Focusrite Studio Console, adding Presence and Harmonic Drive character to vocals. The embossed historic ff logo on top and silkscreened ISA 110 schematic artwork on the underside turn the chassis into a tribute to Rupert Neve's original designs. Auto Gain sets levels in seconds, while Clip Safe continuously monitors the input to prevent clipping mid-take.
Inputs and Preamps
Two remote-controlled 4th-gen preamps with flexible front-panel connectivity handle any source. Phantom power is available on both channels for condenser microphones, while high-impedance instrument inputs let guitarists plug straight in without a DI box.
- Number of Preamps: 2 — remote-controlled via Focusrite Control 2
- Phantom Power: Yes (48 V) — switchable for condenser mics
- Inputs: 6.3 mm TS / XLR combo — mic, line and Hi-Z per channel
Conversion and Digital Performance
Studio-grade conversion borrowed from the flagship RedNet line gives this compact interface the dynamic range of much larger units. Loopback captures system audio for streaming, while the absence of S/PDIF, ADAT, AES/EBU and MADI keeps the signal path purely analogue.
- Sample Rate: 192 kHz / 24-bit — supports 44.1 to 192 kHz
- Dynamic Range (Line Out): 120 dB (A-weighted)
- Connectivity: USB Type-C, USB 2.0 — bus-powered at 900 mA
Outputs, Monitoring and Build
A dedicated headphone amplifier drives any monitoring headphone, while balanced rear outputs feed studio monitors. The compact desktop chassis weighs just 0.595 kg.
- Line Outputs: 2 x 6.3 mm balanced — feed studio monitors cleanly
- Headphone Output: 1 x 6.3 mm with custom amp
- Weight: 0.595 kg — light enough for a laptop bag
Number of Channels: 2
This product has two channels, giving you the flexibility to connect two audio sources at once. This configuration allows you to combine different instruments and effects, enriching your sonic expression and giving you more variability.
Number of Preamps: 2
The product features two preamplifiers, ensuring high-quality sound processing for two input channels. This system provides clear sound with low noise, ideal for stereo recording or using two microphones or instruments simultaneously.
Phantom Power: Yes
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
Sample Rate
- 24 bit
- 192 kHz
Bit Depth: 24 bit
The 24-bit depth provides significantly more dynamic range and detail than standard 16-bit recording. With 24-bit depth, you can capture finer details and wider dynamic range, perfect for professional recording, mastering, and applications where accuracy and sound quality are critical.
Inputs
- Jack 6,3 mm TS
- XLR
Outputs
- Headphone Jack 6,3 mm TRS
- Jack 6,3 mm TRS
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
DA Conversion: Yes
DA conversion allows digital signals to be converted to analog signals with high accuracy. This process ensures that digital audio is reproduced with minimal distortion, preserving all the fine details and dynamics of the original sound. Thanks to high-quality DA conversion, the sound is clear, rich, and true to the original when played through speakers or headphones.
AD Conversion: Yes
High-quality AD conversion ensures that every detail and dynamic range of analog audio is preserved when converted to digital form, ideal for professional recording and production. This allows analog sound sources such as microphones and instruments to be accurately recorded in digital systems.
