Complete software bundle
Plug into 2i2’s 4th-Generation remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range to get huge, dynamic sound, whatever you’re recording.
Let 2i2 handle your levels.
Auto Gain sets your levels and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You’ll never lose a take again.
CM25 MkIII studio condenser mic
You can use the CM25 MkIII for almost anything, but you’ll love how it sounds on vocals and guitars thanks to its bright and detailed character.
SH-450 closed-back headphones
With the SH-450 we’ve created our best-sounding studio headphones, with plush pads and a soft-touch headband design to keep you focused, not fatigued.
Hi-Z instrument inputs, just like you’d find on an amp, make guitars sound great for DI’s and amp sims.
Two super-high-quality line inputs capture all the character of your synths and keys.
Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.
Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.
Once you’ve got started with Ableton Live Lite or Pro Tools Intro+ recording software (both included), the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to bring big studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of record-making studio tools from the biggest names in the business.
Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.
Our custom-designed headphone amp design sets the stage for the best playback you’ve ever heard from a Scarlett interface, driving high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before.
Focusrite Control 2 is a powerful app that easily manages Scarlett 4th Gen interfaces on Windows and macOS devices. Pair the iOS and Android app to your desktop computer to remotely control your Scarlett from anywhere in your recording space.
