OVERVIEW
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Scarlett 2i4, one of the family of Focusrite professional computer audio
interfaces incorporating high quality Focusrite analogue pre-amplifiers. You now have a simple and
compact solution for routing high quality audio to and from your computer.
This User Guide provides a detailed explanation of the hardware to help you achieve a thorough
understanding of the product’s operational features. We recommend that both users who are new
to computer recording, as well as more experienced users, take the time to read through the User
Guide so that you are fully aware of all the possibilities that the Scarlett 2i4 and accompanying
software has to offer. If the main User Guide sections do not provide the information you need, be
sure to consult

, which contains a comprehensive collection of
common technical support queries.
Features
The Scarlett 2i4 hardware interface provides the means for connecting microphones, musical
instruments or line level audio signals to a computer running Mac OS or Windows. The signals at the
physical inputs can be routed to your audio recording software / digital audio workstation (referred
to throughout this user guide as the “DAW”) at up to 24-bit, 96 kHz resolution; similarly, the DAW’s
monitor or recorded output will appear at the unit’s physical outputs.
Audio sources – mics, instruments, etc. – connected to the physical inputs can be recorded in the DAW
and then routed from your DAW to the physical outputs. The 2i4 is equipped with four audio output
channels, which can be connected to an amplifier and speakers, powered monitors, headphones,
DJ or other type of mixer, or any other analogue audio equipment that you wish to use. Although
all inputs and outputs on the Scarlett 2i4 are routed directly to and from your DAW for recording
and playback, you can configure the routing within your DAW in order to meet your needs. A Direct
Monitoring feature lets you hear what you are playing without the effects of computer latency. The
2i4 also acts as a convenient MIDI interface between your computer and other MIDI equipment.
For DJs, the two pairs of outputs make it simple to interface the stereo output from a laptop running
DJ software to two channels of a DJ mixer.
