The 2i2 is equipped with studio-grade AD/DA converters culled from Focusrite’s flagship RedNet interfaces, supplying you with crystal-clear sound and an impressive 120dB of dynamic range.

State-of-the-art Scarlett features

Using headphones with this audio interface is a joy thanks to its powerful, custom-designed headphone amplifier, which includes an independent level control for loud, clear, accurate monitoring and playback.
