The artist's studio in a box
Set up the CM25 MkIII mic for your vocals and guitar and plug into Scarlett 2i2's 4th-Generation preamps - Focusrite's clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range. Hook up an electric guitar to one of 2i2's Hi-Z instrument inputs - it feels just like an amp. Listen in detail through the SH-450 headphones.
Find your signature sound
For standout lead vocal and instrument tracks, Scarlett's re-engineered Air mode takes your sound's unique character and brings it to the front of the mix, adding truly musical presence and rich harmonic drive, just like a classic console in a big money studio.
Let Scarlett set your levels
Scarlett's gain halos make setting your levels quick and easy with any mic - or just select Auto Gain and let Scarlett do it for you. Hit the button and play for ten seconds, Scarlett will set the perfect level for whatever you're recording.
Make every take a keeper
While you're playing, Clip Safe is all ears. Checking your levels up to 96,000 times a second - more than the best studio engineers - Clip Safe will automatically adjust the gain if you're at risk of clipping, so you can lose yourself in the music, without losing any takes.
Capture every detail
Hit the red button and you're recording with 192kHz, 24-bit converters direct from Focusrite's flagship RedNet interfaces - as found in countless high-end studios around the world. Squeeze every last drop of detail out of your recordings without sacrificing any sound quality.
Everything you need, in the box
For the best sound straight away, Scarlett 2i2 Studio includes our CM25 MkIII studio condenser mic and SH-450 closed back headphones. You can use the CM25 MkIII for almost anything, but you'll love how it sounds on vocals and guitar thanks to its bright and detailed character. With the SH-450 Focusrite have created their most accurate studio headphones, with plush pads and a soft-touch headband design to keep you focused, not fatigued. If you haven't got a mic stand yet, Focusrite have even included a rather clever cardboard stand so you can get started right away.
Now hear this
In combination with the included SH-450 closed back headphones, the custom-designed headphone amp and huge dynamic range set the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from Scarlett. 2i2 also has independent controls for your headphones and monitors so you can record, mix and play back audio however you want.
