Description To commemorate four decades of Focusrite, we’re taking the world’s most popular audio interface back to its roots. The Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition reimagines our most popular 4th-Gen Scarlett interface with a classic ISA-blue chassis that recalls the renowned channel strips that first bore the Focusrite name. Key Features Strictly limited edition 2-in, 2-out audio interface Exclusive plugins from Sonnox, Softube, and Acustica Two ultra-low-noise mic preamps with front-panel line/instrument inputs Auto Gain and Clip Safe modes Limited-edition, black-and-gold gift box It’s fitting that we should celebrate the 40th year of the Focusrite brand with a new addition to the fourth-generation Scarlett range. In its usual livery, Scarlett acknowledges the original Red Range, which brought colour to the racks of monochrome outboard. This Anniversary Edition is blue, in celebration of our original house colour. Focusrite, in either guise, has always been about bringing colour to the music!— Phil Dudderidge OBE (Chairman and Founder) A historic logo on top… Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition’s aluminium chassis proudly displays our historic ff logo — which originally stood for “foundations first”. Fitting, given the gear it originally appeared on laid the foundations for everything we’ve done since. …and a hidden nod to our heritage underneath The underside of the Scarlett 2i2 Anniversary Edition features a silkscreened tribute to some of our earliest audio-engineering creations. The artwork is inspired by the schematics for the ISA 110 preamp/EQ and our Studio Console. Two of our most detailed, ultra-low-noise preamps The Anniversary Edition boasts a pair of our 4th Gen preamps — Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB of gain on tap. You also get Hi-Z guitar inputs that feel like a real amplifier. Let 2i2 handle your levels Never lose a good take again: Auto Gain helps you find the right level for each source, then Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. Loud and clear Two dedicated rear outputs feed pristine audio to your monitors while a custom-designed amplifier puts out enough power for any pair of headphones via the front panel — all powered by the same studio-grade converters as our flagship RedNet interfaces.
