Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface at Front End Audio
Focusrite has announced a new audio interface in the Scarlett series: The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface and Front End Audio is ready to take orders. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface is a 2 in / 2 out USB
recording interface featuring two award-winning Focusrite preamps.
Housed in an attractive anodised aluminium unibody chassis, the
interface not only sounds fantastic but looks great too. What's more
it's solid enough to take on the road when you travel. The Scarlett 2i2
is much more than just a pretty metal box...
For more than 25 years, Focusrite has
designed some of the most popular microphone preamps in the industry.
This experience has been used to create the transparent, low-noise and
low-distortion preamp found not only in the Scarlett 2i2 but also their
flagship Firewire interface, the Liquid Saffire 56.
Plenty of available headroom makes it suitable for moving coil,
condenser and ribbon microphones regardless of the source. Phantom power
is provided for mics that need it.
The front panel Neutrik combination input on
the Scarlett 2i2 can be used to connect line and instrument level
signals as well as microphones. This makes it perfect for recording the
output of a synthesizer or stage piano, whilst at the flick of a switch
you can cater for the output of an electric or acoustic guitar.
Unique halo signal indicators let you know
that you've got a good signal level for recording. Red means that your
signal is clipping, and that you should reduce the gain. The halo will
momentarily turn amber as the level returns to a healthy level, at which
point it will turn green.
A large monitor dial provides a tactile
control for the volume of your speakers, whilst a high quality headphone
amp provides a clean yet loud signal to headphones connected to the
front panel socket. The direct monitor switch routes audio directly from
the inputs to both the headphone and speaker outputs. This allows you
to monitor the incoming signal with zero-latency.
The included Scarlett Plug-In Suite provides effects compatible with all major DAWs; so whether you're using GarageBand, Pro Tools 9, Cubase, Logic or the included Ableton Live Lite, Scarlett 2i2 is the complete package for you to get recording straight away.
