Example of Usage

The Scarlett 2i2 is an excellent choice for several different recording and monitoring applications.

Some typical conﬁgurations are shown below.

Connecting a microphone or instrument

This setup illustrates the most typical conﬁguration for recording with DAW software on your Mac or

PC. In this case, you might record guitar through Input 1 and vocals through Input 2 into Ableton Live

Lite, while monitoring the playback from the DAW via headphones or loudspeakers.

The front panel input sockets are Neutrik Combo

, which accept either an XLR male connector (you

will probably have one on the end of your microphone cable) or a ¼” (6.35 mm) jack plug. Note the

Scarlett 2i2 has no “Mic/line” switch – the Focusrite preampliﬁer stage is automatically conﬁgured

for a microphone when you plug an XLR into the input, and for a line or instrument when you connect

a jack plug. Set the LINE/INST switch next to the socket to INST if you are connecting a musical

instrument (a guitar in the example) via an ordinary 2-pole (TS) guitar jack, or to LINE if you are

connecting a line level source such as the balanced output of a stage piano via a 3-pole (TRS) jack.

Note the Combo connector accepts both TRS and TS types of jack plug.
