• SH-450 headphones
• CM25 MkIII condenser microphone
• Includes Hitmaker Expansion software bundle

Two of our most detailed, ultra-low-noise preamps.

Plug into 2i2’s remote-controlled preamps — Scarlett’s clearest and most detailed ever, with a huge 69dB gain range to get the best from every microphone.

Let 2i2 handle your levels.

Auto Gain sets your levels and Clip Safe keeps them in the sweet spot, automatically tweaking the gain if you’re in danger of clipping. You'll never lose a take again.

CM25 MkIII studio condenser mic

You can use the CM25 MkIII for almost anything, but you’ll love how it sounds on vocals and guitars thanks to its bright and detailed character.

SH-450 closed-back headphones

With the SH-450 we’ve created our best-sounding studio headphones, with plush pads and a soft-touch headband design to keep you focused, not fatigued.

Two Hi-Z guitar inputs that feel just like an amp.

Hi-Z instrument inputs, just like you’d find on an amp, make guitars sound great for DI’s and amp sims.

Two super-high-quality line inputs capture all the character of your synths and keys.

Get big console sound with two re-engineered Air modes.

Presence mode boosts your signal’s high-end, bringing the sound to the front of the mix. Create intimate vocal recordings, capture every detail of acoustic guitars, and hear your drum overheads shimmer.

Harmonic Drive mode boosts mid-range harmonics in your sound, making its unique character shine through the mix. Try it on guitars, vocals, or anything else that needs a little more punch.

All the software you need to make a hit record

Get started with Ableton Live Lite, Pro Tools Intro+, and Cubase LE. From there, the Hitmaker Expansion bundle has everything you need to add big-studio sound to your songs, with an unbeatable range of instruments and effects from the biggest names in the business.

Huge 120dB dynamic range for incredible recordings.

Scarlett delivers incredible audio quality, with converters direct from our flagship RedNet interfaces — as found in high-end studios around the world.

Loud and clear.

Our custom-designed headphone amp design sets the stage for the best playback you've ever heard from a Scarlett interface, driving high-impedance headphones louder and clearer than ever before.
