I needed to get up to date with Pro Tools and then replace my Mbox2 Pro to run the new Pro Tools. The Scarlett 2i2 is perfect. Easy. Plug and Play. Only been using it for a week but great so far.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (4th Generation)

Good interface but need more power at the headphone gain, got this at 199.00 to weeks ago, now at 179.99, and asked if there were price protection, no response.

Great and simple product

This Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 hardly needs an introduction, as its fame rivals its straightforwardness. You use it to record your music, voiceovers, or whatever analog audio source you plug into it. In goes an analog signal, out comes a digital signal. The 2i2 connects to a computer via its USB-C out, enabling you to record the digital signal using recording software. I own another second-generation 2i2 which honestly works fine, but I got this 4th-gen version to keep permanently hooked up to the record out connection of my Marantz Model 50, so I can easily digitize my old vinyl. The Marantz has a truly excellent phono stage, and the well-known VinylStudio, the inexpensive piece of recording software, will record beautiful high-resolution files and instantly take care of any undesired pops and crackles. What's so great about this setup is that I don't need to fiddle with cables. I connect the 2i2 to my laptop via a USB cable and I am good to go. Unlike my old 2i2, this unit also comes with software controls, so I can adjust the channel gain right from my laptop. No need to even reach into my cabinet. Very easy. For you podcasters out there, I also tested a fairly quiet dynamic microphone (though not the Shure SM7B) and the improvement in clean gain is considerable compared to the second-generation 2i2. Cloudlifters probably not needed. Our tech just keeps improving; we never had it this good. If you have a use case for it, you'll want this Scarlett 2i2. It's a no brainer.

Pros: Easy to set up and use. Great audio quality.

Cons: None.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
