25 Years of experience

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 the 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.



Plug straight in

The front panel high quality combination input 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.



Keep an eye on your levels

Unique halo 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.



Flexible monitoring options

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 gain halos which surround the gain knob for each input provides an easy way to know that the signal you're recording is the right level.
