Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen 2x2 USB Audio Interface, blue

The Scarlett 2i2 (3rd Gen) is a compact 2‑in/2‑out USB audio interface from Focusrite in a blue finish. It’s aimed at musicians, podcasters and home studios — two front‑panel combo XLR/TRS inputs accept mics, line sources and instruments, while Gain Halo LEDs make input‑level setting quick and visual.

It features two 3rd Generation Scarlett mic preamps with an Air switch for added presence on vocals and acoustic instruments, a powerful dedicated headphone output with independent level control, and latency‑free direct monitoring. With 24‑bit/192 kHz converters, USB‑C bus power and compatibility with macOS, Windows and iPadOS, it’s a portable, studio‑grade solution for recording and monitoring.
