Focusrite completely redesigned the instrument inputs so they can handle even the hottest guitar pick-ups, and we?ve made it easier than everto set your levels accurately. We?ve also built in new analogue protection circuitry across the inputs and the outputs, to guard your interface against unwanted power surges.

Converting your performance into digital audio and back again is the most important part of the recording process. Focusrite has been making class-leading converters for over 20 years, and Scarlett 2i4 has the best converters of any interface in its class.

You can hear the difference! Every part of your recording will be beautifully crisp and clear, even when you're playing softly. This means you can amplify your quieter moments without any unwanted hiss or buzzing.

Setting the perfect level couldn?t be easier, thanks our unique haloes around the gain knobs. They glow a reassuring shade of green when you're recording at the perfect volume. If they turn red, it's time to back off.
