Focusrite has taken their popular Scarlett USB audio interfaces to new heights with the recent 4th generation release. The updated Solo, 2i2, and 4i4 models maintain the Scarlett’s iconic red design but with a sleeker, more modern look. This generation builds on the Scarlett’s flexibility with balanced combo jacks on the 2i2 and 4i4, as well as front TRS inputs and rear XLRs on the 2i2.
MIDI connectivity is available on the 4i4 for those needing to interface with hardware synths. Focusrite equipped the new models with insightful recording features like “Auto Gain” for automatic leveling and “Safe Mode” to prevent clipping. “Air” emulates a transformer sound while “Drive” provides added harmonics. Under the hood are best-in-class converters and preamps. The 2i2 and 4i4 deliver up to 69dB gain for pristine low-output mic capture.
Dynamic range tops 116dB. Additional amenities, intuitive software control, and pristine audio quality make the Scarlett line worthwhile for any setup, now available at accessible price points – the Solo for $139.99, 2i2 for $199.99, and 4i4 for $279.99. Whether starting out or requiring studio reliability, Focusrite’s updated interfaces provide outstanding value.
