🦦 Focusrite Scarlett 2I2 1St Gen Review

This makes it so there won't be clipping problems with hot/active pickups. The 1st gen 2i2 and Solo models had problems with that since they lack a PAD button (that's why I ended up with a 2i4). I tested the 2nd gen 2i2 using a guitar with Seymour Duncan Blackouts and it indeed works well without clipping.

As it comes to sound, the 1st gen Scarlett 2i2 was limited to a sample rate of 96kHz. However, the 2nd gen 2i2 now supports up to 192khz sample rates with a 24-bit resolution (but, who records at 192khz anyway?).

About this Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio review: We tested the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio over a period of 2 weeks. It was running firmware version 1552, and the Focusrite Control application ran version 3.4.6.1695. The company sent this for review.

For Fantastic mic quality Scarlett 2i2 1 st gen also works pretty well when compared to Scarlett 2i2 2 nd gen.
