•  Four balanced line inputs, for connecting synths or other line-level audio, and four balanced outputs, for monitoring and effects sends
•  Two of the best performing Scarlett mic preamps the range has ever heard – now with Air – for miking up guitars or recording vocals
•  Two high headroom instrument inputs, for plugging your guitar or bass straight in
•  Loopback, for grabbing a stereo feed of any combination of hardware inputs and software playback, no cables needed, for simple sampling, streaming, or podcasting

Plugin and produce; all your instruments, all the time. With two 3^rd Generation preamps, four line-ins, and four balanced outs – for synths, drum machines, or looping hardware effects – our most connected bus-powered interface records wherever your instruments are. Spend less time plugging in and more time playing.

Easy Start gets you set up, recording, and playing back within minutes. Our mic preamps, high-headroom instrument inputs, iconic Gain Halos, clean and balanced fixed-line I/O, and MIDI connectivity mean the science of sounding great is sorted. We’ve worried about the tech, you can focus on the music.

We’ve been making mic preamps for 30 years, and the 3^rd Gen mic pre is the best Scarlett has ever heard. The 24-bit/192kHz converters give your recordings clarity and detail. Air mode breathes life into vocals, adding unique high-end detail. Our decades of experience mean Scarlett sounds just like you.

Incredibly reliable, Focusrite hardware won’t let you down. If, however, you come across a problem you can rely on our global support team and your three-year warranty to get it sorted. Sound.
