New Generation - Better in every way T he second generation Scarlett range is packed full of upgrades. The lowest roundtrip latency in its class (2.74ms*) brings confidence to your performance, letting you record and monitor with software effects in real time. New metal gain controls and a sleeker red metal chassis reassure you of its improved industrial design, built to go anywhere. The Scarlett range also now operates at sample rates all the way up to 192kHz, and the input channels have evolved too. The latest Scarlett mic preamp features a more even gain structure, so you can accurately set your levels, and the instrument input has also been completely redesigned with increased headroom to handle seriously hot guitar pick-ups. Finally, Focusrite have provided analogue protection circuitry across both the inputs and the outputs, guarding your interface against unwanted power surges. • Two natural-sounding Scarlett mic preamps with plenty of even gain • Two newly-designed instrument inputs, designed for seriously hot hottest pick-ups • Class-leading conversion and sample rates up to 192kHz / 24 bit • One headphones output with gain control • Super-low latency* for using your plug-ins in real time without the need for DSP • Connect professional studio monitors using two 1/4 inch balanced jack outputs • Compact and tough enough to take anywhere • Powered by USB so you don’t need to carry a power cable • Includes Pro Tools | First Focusrite Creative Pack and Ableton Live Lite • All the additional software and loops you need to start recording 36 The Score Magazine highonscore.com
