Focusrite – Sound is everything
Focusrite was founded by Rupert Neve in 1985 to create the highest quality input channels for Sir George Martin’s AIR Studios. Those classic, sought-after designs have informed all Focusrite mic preamps created over the past 30 years.

The mic pres are backed up with precision digital conversion based itself on over twenty years of converter design know-how. The result: interfaces that offer the most transparent, pristine path in and out of your computer with maximum conversion quality. It’s quality you’ll appreciate, whether you’re just starting out or have been in the business for years.

Rugged Metal Unibody Case

The anodised aluminium unibody chassis ensures that your Scarlett 2i4 can withstand life on the road, and looks great in your setup.

Unique Signal Halos

The gain halos which surround the gain knob for each input provide an easy way to know that the signal you’re recording is the right level. It will show green when the signal is at a good level (above -24dBFS). If it turns to red, you know that the signal is too loud and is therefore clipping – if this happens, simply reduce the gain until the halo returns to green.

Direct Monitor Function

Turn the direct monitor control on the front panel of your Scarlett 2i4 and you will hear what you are recording through your speakers or headphones, without the signal having to go through your Mac or PC. This avoids the possibility of latency (introduced by your music software), which can be distracting while recording.
