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.
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.
Exclusive Anniversary Edition software collection
In addition to the existing Scarlett software collection, the Anniversary Edition celebrates 40 years of Focusrite’s pro-audio partnerships with three exclusive additional plugins designed to add character to any mix: Sonnox's Voca vocal processor, Softube's Opto Compressor, and Acustica Audio’s Rust EQ.
Focusrite Control 2
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. We've also given the interface a fresh, ISA-inspired look, just for the 2i2 Anniversary Edition.
