The record maker. Hook up your guitar and CM25 MkIII mic, monitor and mix with HP60MkIII headphones, and make the best recordings you ever have. 2i2 has brought studio sound to more artists than any other interface. Hook up a couple of mics, guitars or keys and record however you want.

The two 3rd Generation Scarlett mic preamps sound great straight out of the box. Air mode recreates the legendary effect of Focusrite's ISA mic pres and makes vocals and guitars shine.
