Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition USB-ääniliitäntä

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
